Scout overview

What is Scout?

Scout is a cloud-based solution designed to help pet sitting and dog walking businesses with appointment scheduling and billing. Key features include custom branding, location and time tracking, document management, employee performance assessments, lead generation, and notifications.

The application helps sitters maintain multiple pet profiles, track job progress, and capture photos during check-in/check-out. Managers can use the solution to create custom bills, automate payment processes for various modes, and generate invoices. Scout comes with a vault feature, which lets staff members archive, as well as share vaccination records with owners through a clickable link.

Scout integrates with third-party calendar applications such as iCal, Google Calendar, Outlook, and more. The platform enables pet owners to create bios and provide information such as animal behavior, routine, feeding time, and medications for the sitters. Clients can use the mobile app to schedule/cancel services, as well as receive details of activities via e-report cards at the end of the visit.

What do users say about Scout?

The start and stop times of individual bookings is weird, and there are things I would change about overnight stay bookings, but the app makes it clear it is a work in progress.
