Here’s where things stand with route optimization as we keep building out OPERATE.

What’s live today

Route optimization orders a sitter’s visits by the most efficient route instead of a manually sorted list, and that core functionality is already in place for pet businesses using OPERATE.

What we’re refining

We’re actively taking feedback from working pet sitting and dog walking businesses and using it to sand down rough edges before we call any feature finished.

Why we build in the open

OPERATE is built by people who’ve actually run pet care businesses, so progress updates like this one are part of how we stay honest about what’s actually ready versus what’s still in progress.

Route optimization has continued to evolve since its initial release, with refinements driven directly by how real pet businesses are actually using it day to day. We track usage patterns and support requests closely to catch friction points early, rather than waiting for a major version update to address them.

If you’ve used this feature and have feedback, that input directly shapes what gets prioritized next.
