Exploring

The whole day's work, from the leash to the invoice.

You walk dogs, sit for cats, or groom on the road. The visits are the easy part. It's the rest — remembering which gate code goes with which house, telling six owners how their animal did, and working out at the end of the month who still owes you — that eats the evening.

LeashDay is the back office for that work, and it lives on your phone because that's where you are.

The problem

The software for this job was built for companies with an office.

A solo provider with thirty regular clients is running a real business — a schedule, a client list, recurring visits, medical notes, keys and codes for other people's homes, and money going out and coming in. The tools that handle all that are priced for teams and shaped around a dispatcher sitting at a desk.

So the work ends up spread across a notes app, a group chat, a paper calendar, and memory. Which mostly holds — until the week you're covering for someone, or the owner asks what happened on Tuesday.

And it happens in the worst possible places for an app: a concrete stairwell, a basement laundry room, a park at the edge of town where the signal drops for twenty minutes.

How it works

Open to today — every visit, in order, with the address, the animals, and anything you need to know before you knock.
Start the visit — check in, log the walk, take the photos, tick the checklist, check out. One hand, big targets, gloves on.
The report card writes itself from what you just did — the route, the photos, what got done.
You read it, then you send it. One tap, from your own phone, to the owner.
The visits become the invoice. The week's work is already itemised; you're not reconstructing it from memory on a Sunday.

Step four is deliberate. Nothing goes to an owner that you haven't read. The app composes; you're the one who sends it, and it will never tell you a report was delivered when all it did was try.

What makes it different

It works with no signal

Every part of a visit finishes in airplane mode — check-in, photos, checklist, notes, check-out. Sending and syncing queue up where you can see them and go out when the bars come back. This is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.

Built for one person

Not a team product with the team features greyed out. There's no dispatcher, no seat count, no admin layer to click through on the way to your own schedule.

Report cards owners keep

A photo of a happy dog and a note about the walk is what turns a service into a relationship. It should look like something worth keeping, not a delivery receipt.

The keys stay locked up

Door codes, alarm codes, where the spare key is — encrypted on your device and opened with Face ID each time. They never show up in a notification, a report card, or anything you hand to someone else.

Who it's for

Dog walkers: Several houses a day, recurring, mostly the same animals each week — and owners who want to see the walk happened.
Pet sitters: Someone else's home, someone else's keys, and a stretch of days where the owner is on a plane and can't be reached.
Mobile groomers: Appointments rather than routes, but the same client list, the same before-and-after photos, and the same invoice at the end of it.

Your client list is yours

Clients, pets, schedules, visit history, and the codes vault stay in your own private iCloud. There's no MacDaddy database with your customers in it, and nothing here is for sale to anyone — this isn't a marketplace, and it never takes a cut of what an owner pays you.

This one is still being explored rather than scheduled — whether it gets built depends on what the people it's for say now, before we write the parts that would be expensive to get wrong. That's what the founding list is for. If you do this work for a living, the LeashDay page has the full picture, including what it will cost.
