PupShiftThe note on the counter
Two pages of instructions, and the texts still come.
Going away? Hand over the board, not a note.
A helper link lets the walker or sitter see the schedule and log what they did. You see it as it happens, and their access ends on the date you pick.
The dog says he hasn’t eaten since Tuesday. The log says 7:02 PM.

“Did the walker come?”
Sometimes you only find out when you get home.
Too much access
Sharing the family’s whole account with a sitter feels like too much.
How helpers use your board
A helper link
The board’s owner makes a one-time link. It can be used within 3 days, and access lasts until the date the owner picks.
They log as they go
Walks, meals and meds appear on your board with the helper’s name and the time.
They see what they need
Pets, schedules, reminders and the log. Not the family album, papers or the family code.
Their turn rings them
Give a walk slot to the walker and their phone rings at that time (phone app, alerts on).
Access ends by itself
When the date passes, the helper is off the board. Nothing to remember.
A printable handoff sheet
For the details that don’t belong in an app: vet number, quirks, where the leash lives.
Ringing works in the iPhone and Android app with alerts on.

Dog schedule for working families: a weekday plan that covers the gapBuild the weekday around three fixed points (a proper morning, a covered middle of the day, and an evening that belongs to the dog), give each slot a named person and a backup, and check one shared record so nothing is missed or done twice.

Questions
How does the sitter join?
They open the helper link in the app or any browser and join the board as a helper. The family code stays private.
What can a helper see?
The pets, schedules, reminders and the log. Not the family album, papers or the family code.
When does their access end?
On the date the board’s owner picks. After that the helper is removed automatically.
Ready when you are.
Make a board in a minute, then send the link to whoever helps.
