What is Cat Sitting Software?
Cat sitting software handles the operational and financial side of running a professional cat sitting business: online bookings, monthly visit plans, Stripe billing, and full cat care profiles captured at registration.
- ✓ Online booking for home visits, holiday cover, and regular check-ins
- ✓ Monthly visit plans billed automatically via Stripe
- ✓ Full cat health and care profiles with vet and emergency contact

For cat sitters, the business model is built around trust and reliability. Software that handles payments and reminders automatically lets you focus on delivering the reliable care that drives word-of-mouth growth.
The problems cat sitting software solves
Manual workarounds that cost pet care businesses hours every week.
Holiday cover bookings made with no confirmed payment
A two-week holiday booking with no confirmed payment means a client can cancel the day before with no consequence to them. Upfront payment removes this risk.
Regular clients paying ad hoc for each set of visits
A client who uses you for 3 cat visits a week, every week, without exception, should be on a monthly plan. It simplifies billing for both sides and creates predictable income.
No record of a cat's health conditions before the first visit
A cat on daily medication, with kidney disease, or who hides under the bed when stressed should be documented before the first visit, not discovered on arrival.
Managing access codes and instructions across multiple families via WhatsApp
Key safe codes, alarm numbers, litter tray locations, feeding instructions for 20+ clients stored in WhatsApp threads is a single phone failure away from chaos.

Choose your industry Launch Pack

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.
