Run sheet, on the phone
Each van gets its own day plan. Drivers tap once to mark pickup, swipe to mark no-show, drag to reorder. Search by dog name jumps straight to the entry. Tap-to-call the owner, tap-to-navigate to the pickup.
Features
What's inside.
BarkBus is the day-to-day app for the driver in the van AND the operator at the laptop. Same data, two surfaces.
Live Activity on the lock screen
The current run lives on the driver's lock screen — no need to unlock the phone between dogs. Owners get a push when their dog is picked up; the next-of-kin gets one if pickup is missed.
Weekly schedule, not weekly chaos
Build the template once: Bella is Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday on Van 1. The day plan generates itself every morning. Homestays and one-off changes layer on top without breaking the recurring grid.
Billing that doesn't lie
Charges generate from what actually happened — pack school days, homestays, ad-hoc walks. Bank statement import matches payments back to the right owner. Xero connection optional.
CSV import for switching
Already on Google Sheets? Export your dogs and owners, drop the CSV in, BarkBus matches by email and dog name. No re-typing 100 customers.
