Rusty leans back for a trust fall. Tilly walks toward the camera, and he lands on the floor behind her.

Rusty: And your connected AI assistant can draft invoices and other paperwork. Finally, some support.

Built in a real pet-care business

I got tired of running everything through texts and paper.

I'm Dave Waggins. I run a dog-care business. I built Houndtrust to keep intake, bookings, paperwork, updates and money together, without asking clients to learn a new app.

Read Dave's story

Before you start

Do my clients need an app?

No. They open your private link in their browser to share details, sign paperwork, read updates or pay.

Do I need to move every client at once?

Start with your next client or booking. Add regulars as they rebook. Your existing routine can keep running while you try it.

What care can I offer?

Boarding, daycare, dog walks, hikes, drop-ins, cat sitting, house sitting, grooming and custom services. House sitting can include pets or care for the house alone.

Will Houndtrust find clients for me?

Houndtrust works today for clients you already have. Local matching is in a limited pilot. Broader discovery is not available everywhere.
