Carer Assistant

An easy to use app that lets a carer manage bookings, messages, and keep up to the minute with new pet care opportunities in their area. The app makes it simple for a carer to record and email maps of a walk, send a pet owner photos and communicate with a pet owner via messaging.

Record walks, email them to dog owner - a better service
• Owners love feeling more involved with their dog's daily activities, and the Tailster app shows them that you are providing a fun, healthy and enjoyable walking service for their pet.
• The app automatically keeps track of every walk you take the dog on, and at the end of each walk automatically emails both you and the dog owner with the date, duration and route of the walk.
• Because the app stores each walk on your mobile phone, and also sends you an email about it, you'll have a record of every walk you go on - no disputes over which days the dog was walked and for how long

Take photos and immediately send them to the dog owner
• Very simple photo features allow you to take photos of the dog/pet which are then automatically sent to the owner and stored online on the pet's gallery

In-app messaging lets you easily communicate with a pet's owner and see a history of your messages
