Turn on this feature when you pay sitters by the hour or need mileage for payroll. Once enabled, the portal records clock-in / clock-out times and, when the mobile app is used, driving distance.
Turn it on
Open Business Settings › Pet Sitters & Journals › Time & Mileage Tracking and switch it On.
Go to Staff › Staff Accounts, edit each sitter, and enter an Hourly Pay Rate—without one the sitter will receive no pay for clocked hours.
Clock-in workflow for sitters
A clock icon appears on the top bar (next to the notification bell).
Tap once to clock in; a green timer badge shows elapsed hours and minutes.
Tap again to add an optional note or Clock Out.
The timer also:
Begins automatically when a sitter taps Arrived at their first visit of the day.
Stops automatically if the portal registers no activity for 60 minutes; the end time is back-dated to the sitter’s last action.
Mileage capture (mobile app)
While a sitter is clocked in and using the native app, mileage is logged in the background.
See Using the Precise Petcare Mobile App (iOS & Android) for installation links and tips.
Reviewing time & mileage
Schedule › Timesheet lists the entries available to your account. Sitters see their own entries; administrators and managers with access can review other staff members’ entries.
To correct mileage, edit the entry and update Miles or KM, depending on your business’s distance unit, then save. This is available to administrators and managers reviewing staff timesheets. Staff using the self-only view cannot overwrite calculated mileage.
Hours and mileage flow directly into Payroll; no extra export is required.
What clients see
Nothing—timers and mileage are strictly internal. Clients never see or receive data from Time & Mileage Tracking.
