Behind the scenes: how we built this — GPS visit tracking

Pet sitter reviewing LLC vs sole proprietorship paperwork at a desk

We get asked a lot about how features like gps visit tracking actually come together, so here’s the honest version.

Where it started

GPS visit tracking logs the actual start and end location and time of every visit automatically, so there’s a verifiable record. That sounds simple to describe, but building it meant sitting down with working pet sitters and dog walkers and watching how they actually run a day, not how we assumed they did.

What changed along the way

Early versions were more complicated than they needed to be. The version that shipped is simpler because we cut anything that didn’t directly save a sitter time or reduce a mistake.

Why it’s part of OPERATE

Every feature we build for OPERATE stays free forever — this one included. There’s no upsell tier waiting behind it.
