Pet transport is a growing revenue stream for grooming, boarding, and daycare businesses. But no pet software includes shuttle management. Animal Friends OS does. Real-time GPS tracking, live client tracking links via SMS, driver status updates, and integration with the camera system for full lifecycle visibility from pickup to playtime. Designed by a pet care facility owner with over a decade of experience running a real pet shuttle service.

Track your shuttle vehicles on a live map from your dashboard. Know where every driver is and which pets are in transit at all times.
Clients receive an SMS with a live tracking link. They see the driver’s location on a map with estimated arrival time. No app download required.
En route, arrived at pickup, pet loaded, en route to facility, arrived. Each status change triggers an SMS or push notification to the pet parent automatically.
When a pet arrives via shuttle and is checked in, live camera access activates for the pet parent. They track the shuttle, then switch to watching their pet play. Full lifecycle.
GPS tracking works both directions. Clients get live tracking for the return trip home. No more "when will my dog be home?" phone calls.
Plan efficient pickup and return routes. See all scheduled pickups on a map, optimize the order, and reduce fuel costs and drive time.
Animal Friends OS is the only pet care platform with built-in GPS tracking for pet transport. Your drivers share real-time location updates, and clients receive an SMS with a live tracking link — the same experience as tracking an Uber or DoorDash delivery, but for their pet.
When a driver is en route, the system sends the client an SMS with a live tracking link. They open it in their browser — no app download required — and see the driver’s real-time location on a map with an estimated arrival time. Status updates (en route, arriving, arrived) are sent automatically.
The GPS tracking add-on is $29.99/month, included with your $45/month Animal Friends OS subscription. No per-driver fees, no per-trip charges. Competitors like Gingr and MoeGo do not offer shuttle GPS tracking at any price.
