Can pet owners book without messaging me every time?

Yes. The Bizzly portal shows your real-time availability. Plan holders book their dog's next walk in seconds without any involvement from you.

Can I capture vaccination records and medical info at registration?

Yes. The registration form collects all information you require, vaccinations, neutering status, health conditions, emergency vet contact, and behavioural notes.

Can I limit how many dogs are in a group walk?

Yes. Group walk slots have a maximum capacity. Once reached, the slot closes to new bookings. Cancellations return the space to availability immediately.

Can I require full upfront payment for boarding bookings?

Yes. Boarding and extended care bookings require full payment at time of booking. Late cancellations forfeit the payment per your stated policy, enforced automatically.

Can I manage multiple pets from one family?

Yes. One account per household can cover multiple pets. Each pet has its own service credits, booking history, and medical profile linked to the family account.

Can I set a minimum notice period for bookings?

Yes. Set a minimum booking notice (e.g. 24 or 48 hours) to avoid same-day requests you can't accommodate. Last-minute bookings outside the window are blocked.

Can I let owners add special instructions for specific walks?

Yes. Pet owners can add notes to individual bookings, e.g. "vet appointment at 3pm, please return by 1pm", visible to you in the booking details.

What is Pet Care Booking Software?

Pet care booking software replaces the WhatsApp-based "can you walk Charlie tomorrow?" arrangement with a self-service portal pet owners use to book, pay, and manage their pet's care.

✓ Pet owners book from a branded portal or your website
✓ Full payment or active plan required to confirm bookings
✓ Real-time slot availability prevents overbooking walks or boarding places
✓ Pet details (breed, health notes, temperament) captured at registration
✓ Automatic WhatsApp reminders before every appointment

The result is a full schedule of paid, committed appointments, with every pet detail you need available before you ring the doorbell.

The problems pet care booking software solves

Manual workarounds that cost pet care businesses hours every week.

Managing walk bookings for 20 dogs via WhatsApp every morning

Twenty "is Charlie ok for tomorrow?" messages, checking the route, confirming back, daily. A booking portal handles all of this without involving you.

Boarding places held by clients who haven't confirmed or paid

An informal verbal booking for Christmas boarding that gets cancelled last-minute costs you a prime slot. Full payment at booking prevents this entirely.

No record of pet medical information before a new dog joins your round

A dog with allergies, medication needs, or anxiety issues should be documented before they join your walking group. The booking registration form captures all of it.

Double-booking a walking slot beyond your comfortable group size

Without a booking system with capacity limits, you can end up with more dogs confirmed than your walking licence or vehicle accommodates.

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 booking software

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

Self-service pet booking portal

Pet owners log in, add their pet's profile, select a service, and book with their remaining plan credits or a one-off payment, without a single message to you.

Self-service booking

Pet profile capture at registration

The registration form collects breed, age, health conditions, vaccination status, behavioural notes, vet contact, and any special care requirements. Everything you need before the first walk.

Complete pet profiles

Capacity-limited walk groups

Set a maximum number of dogs per group walk slot. Once the group is full, the slot closes to new bookings. Clients who miss out can contact you for next availability.

Group walk capacity control

WhatsApp walk reminders

Pet owners receive a WhatsApp reminder before their dog's scheduled service, date, time, and any instructions. Minimises last-minute cancellations and locked gates.

Real-world use cases

How pet care booking software works in practice.

Use case 1

Dog walker with 3 group walks per day

Morning (6 dogs), midday (4 dogs), afternoon (6 dogs). Each slot has its capacity set. Pet owners book their dog into the right walk time from the portal. Full groups close automatically.

Use case 2

New pet registration and first booking

A new pet owner discovers you on Google, registers their dog's profile (health notes, vaccination records, gate code), pays their first month's plan, and books their first walk, all online.

Use case 3

Christmas boarding booking with full payment

December 22–January 2 boarding opens for bookings in November. Pet owners book and pay in full. Places are confirmed. No capacity surprise on December 22.

Use case 4

One-off pet sitting for a weekend away

An occasional client books a weekend house-sit via the portal, pays the full amount upfront, and leaves their dog with complete peace of mind.
