Invite clients, skip the typing

Just enter their email address. Your clients fill in the intake form for their dog themselves, book their package online and sign the care agreement with a fingertip.

Everything lands in the client file automatically, and you can see at a glance what's still missing.

Plan your walks and head out

Each morning your daily plan shows who you're picking up when, where the key is and whether it's going to rain. On the go, you record the walk with GPS. Owners can watch live when you send them the link.

Back home, the app writes the walk report for you, and you send it off with photos.

Billing that happens by itself

At the end of the month, Dog Walkers drafts an invoice for every subscription. You give them a quick check and send them all with one tap. If you like, with a payment link for card, Apple Pay or SEPA.

If an invoice goes unpaid, the app gently reminds you when it's time for the next reminder stage.

Not much. You can use everything free for a week, and your data stays put if you carry on afterwards.

Questions about getting started

You'll find even more answers in the Help Center.

How do I set up my business?

After installing, the app walks you through the essentials. You can change everything later:

Open More → Business details, prices & templates and enter your name, address, tax ID and bank details. They appear on your invoices and contracts.
In the same place, set your walk prices, the second-dog surcharge and your pick-up and drop-off service. Packages and subscriptions live under Online package booking.
Check More → Settings → Notifications to make sure notifications are allowed. Otherwise no walk reminders will reach you.

Good to know: your business address is also the starting point when the app later works out the best order for your tours.

Can I try everything with sample data first?

Absolutely. Under More → Membership switch on Admin demo (everything unlocked). You'll see sample customers with dogs, walks and invoices, and every feature is unlocked.

Important: the demo replaces your current data with the sample data. So it's best to try it before you add real customers, or to create a backup first. When you're done, tidy up with More → Settings → Data & backup → Delete all data. Your business details are kept.

How do I add my first customers?

In the Customers tab, tap + at the top right. You have two options:

Create manually: you enter the contact and dog yourself.
Invite by email: you only type the email address. Your customers fill in contact, dog and health details online and sign digitally. Once they're done, tap Fetch data now in the customer profile and the file is complete.

Invitations run through the customer portal, so you need a server account and at least the Pro plan.

How many customers can I add?

Up to 15 on Starter, up to 75 on Pro and as many as you like on Business. When your pack grows, just switch plans. All your data stays exactly where it is.
