Guided demo
Walk the whole job end to end with demo data — booking, meet & greet, check-in, live GPS, messaging, and check-out. Every step you complete lands in the client's real-time timeline.
- 1
Book the visit
A client requests a walk from your booking page — or it lands from Acuity or a recurring plan.
- 2
Schedule the meet & greet
Your business can require an in-person intro before a first service. Confirm all four steps to unlock check-in.
- 3
Check in with a verified photo
Two timestamped photos are required. Metadata is validated before check-in is accepted.
- 4
Track the walk with live GPS
The route streams to the client in real time, with distance and potty breaks logged as they happen.
- 5
Message the client mid-walk
Send a note from the client thread and watch the walker reply — all inside your branded portal.
- 6
Check out and deliver the report
A second verified photo closes the visit and publishes the full report, then the client can rate and tip.
