Can I bill regular dog walking clients on a monthly plan?

Yes. Monthly plans with a fixed number of walks are billed automatically via Stripe. Clients never need to pay per walk, they pay once and book as needed.

Can I take full payment for boarding and extended care bookings at the time of booking?

Yes. Any high-value booking requires full payment at the time of booking. Your cancellation policy determines how much is retained on late cancellation.

How does per-walk billing work for one-off clients?

Create one-off walk services at a fixed price. Clients book and pay via Stripe before the walk is confirmed. No manual invoicing or cash collection required.

Can I bill different rates for different dog sizes?

Yes. Each service (small dog walk, large dog walk, group walk) can have its own price. Clients select the appropriate service type when booking.

Can I handle commercial kennel or cattery billing the same way?

Yes. Boarding businesses with per-night rates can set up date-range bookings with a calculated total. Stripe charges the full amount at booking.

Does billing integrate with the booking calendar?

Yes. Only clients with active billing can book. No manual access management. Lapsed plans remove booking access automatically.

Pet Care Software

Pet Care Billing Software

Pet care billing software automates how dog walkers, groomers, pet sitters, and boarding businesses collect payments, handling monthly walking plans, grooming subscriptions, boarding payments, and Stripe billing without manual chasing. Bizzly connects billing to service quotas, so pets on a monthly walking plan can only be booked for the walks included in their plan, and lapsed plans automatically remove booking access.

What is Pet Care Billing Software?

Pet care billing software replaces the cash-in-an-envelope arrangement, the informal bank transfer, and the per-walk payment that has pet owners messaging you after every appointment.

✓ Bills monthly pet care plans automatically via Stripe
✓ Takes full upfront payment for boarding bookings at the time of booking
✓ Sells grooming packages (e.g. 6 grooms) paid upfront
✓ Tracks service credits and remaining sessions per pet
✓ Locks booking access to clients with active payment only

For solo pet care operators and growing pet service businesses, billing software creates the reliable monthly income that reflects the genuine value of the service you provide.

The problems pet care billing software solves

Manual workarounds that cost pet care businesses hours every week.

Clients expecting a walk done and then paying whenever they remember

Informal billing after services are rendered creates irregular cash flow, unpaid balances, and the awkward "can you pay for last week's walks?" conversation.

Long-term boarding booked with no confirmed payment

A 10-day Christmas boarding reservation tied to your home or facility capacity with no confirmed payment is a significant financial exposure. Full payment at booking protects the slot.

Managing different billing arrangements across 30 regular clients

Client A pays weekly, Client B pays monthly, Client C pays per visit, managing this manually across a full round of clients is unsustainable.

No recurring income from loyal clients who walk with you every week

Regular clients who use your service 4 times a week should be on a monthly plan. Converting them creates reliable income and simplifies their billing too.

How Bizzly works

From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.

Choose your industry Launch Pack

Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.

Customer pays first, then books

A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.

Calendar enforces quota automatically

The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.

The Solution

How Bizzly handles pet care billing software

Purpose-built features for pet care businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.

Monthly pet care plans

Create monthly walking or grooming plans, e.g. daily walks (£120/month), 3 walks/week (£90/month). Stripe renews on the billing date. Clients book their slots against the monthly quota.

Monthly recurring pet care billing

Boarding and extended care full payment

Require full payment upfront on boarding, overnight sitting, and holiday care bookings. Charged via Stripe at the time of booking. Protects your capacity during high-demand periods.

Upfront boarding payment

Grooming package billing

Sell a grooming pack (e.g. 6 grooms for £150) as a single Stripe payment. Clients book individual grooms against their credit balance. Credits expire after 6 months.

Prepaid grooming packages

Payment-gated service booking

The booking portal only allows scheduling for clients with an active plan or remaining service credits. Lapsed plans block further bookings automatically.

Real-world use cases

How pet care billing software works in practice.

Use case 1

Daily dog walking monthly plan

£120/month for 20 daily weekday walks. Stripe renews on the 1st. Client books their dog's walks as needed. Lapsed plans remove scheduling access immediately.

Use case 2

Christmas boarding full payment

A 10-day Christmas boarding stay requires full payment at booking. Cancellations within 14 days forfeit the full amount per your policy. Enforced automatically by the system.

Use case 3

Grooming subscription

£25/month for one full groom per month. Stripe renews monthly. Client books their monthly groom from the portal. Unused grooms don't roll over.

Use case 4

Holiday house-sitting billing

A 2-week house-sitting booking at £35/day. The full amount is invoiced via Stripe 7 days before the service starts. Automatic receipt issued on payment.
