Can I manage monthly walk plans for regular dog walking clients?

Yes. Monthly walking plans bill automatically via Stripe. Clients never pay per walk — they pay once each month and book their dog's walks from the portal as needed.

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

Yes. Each walk slot has a configurable maximum. Once reached, the slot closes to new bookings. Cancellations reopen the spot immediately.

Can dog owners book without messaging me?

Yes. Active plan holders book from the self-service portal. They see your real-time availability, select the walk time, and book in seconds.

Can I manage different walk types — group and solo?

Yes. Group walks and solo walks are separate services with their own pricing, duration, and capacity rules. Both appear in your admin calendar.

Can I block off days for illness or bad weather?

Yes. Block individual days or specific slots. Affected clients can be notified via WhatsApp and offered next available alternatives.

Can I invoice per walk for occasional or one-off clients?

Yes. One-off walk bookings can be set up alongside monthly plans. The client selects the service, pays via Stripe at booking, and the walk is confirmed.

Pet Care Software

Dog Walking Software

Dog walking software manages walk bookings, monthly walking plans, group walk capacity, route scheduling, and client billing in one system — replacing WhatsApp, cash, and spreadsheets. Bizzly is the only dog walking software that ties billing directly to walk quotas: dogs on a monthly walking plan can only book the walks included, and lapsed billing automatically removes booking access.

What is Dog Walking Software?

Dog walking software handles the logistics of running a professional walking business — client bookings, walk group capacity, monthly billing, and pet profiles — so you can focus on the dogs rather than the admin.

✓ Monthly walking plans billed automatically via Stripe
✓ Group walk capacity limits prevent overbooking
✓ Pet profiles capture health info, vet contact, and behavioural notes
✓ Real-time route and schedule visibility
✓ Automatic WhatsApp reminders before every walk

For solo dog walkers and professional dog walking businesses, the right software means more time on the lead and less time on the phone.

The problems dog walking software solves

Manual workarounds that cost pet care businesses hours every week.

Managing daily "is Charlie free tomorrow?" messages from every owner

A booking portal lets owners self-schedule within your available slots, removing the daily back-and-forth and giving you your mornings back.

Group walks exceeding safe or licence-compliant dog limits

Without a capacity system, confirming too many dogs for one walk only becomes apparent on the day. Slot capacity limits prevent this automatically.

Regular walkers paying per walk with no reliable monthly income

Converting regular clients to monthly walking plans creates predictable income. Stripe handles billing automatically on the same date each month.

No record of which dogs in your group have health conditions

If a dog has a history of aggression, medication needs, or a recall issue, that information needs to exist somewhere other than your memory.

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 dog walking software

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

Monthly walking plan billing

Create plans by walk frequency — 5 walks/week (£120/month), 3 walks/week (£80/month). Stripe renews on the billing date. Dogs can only book walks included in the active plan.

Monthly dog walking plans

Group walk capacity limits

Set a maximum number of dogs per walk slot. Once full, the slot closes automatically. Cancellations return the spot to availability immediately.

Walk group capacity

Dog profile and health records

Each dog has a profile: breed, age, temperament, health conditions, vaccination status, vet contact, and emergency owner number — all captured at registration.

Complete dog profiles

WhatsApp walk reminders

Owners receive an automatic WhatsApp reminder before every walk — date, time, and any relevant instructions — reducing no-shows and locked gates.

Real-world use cases

How dog walking software works in practice.

Use case 1

Solo walker with 3 group walks per day

Morning (6 dogs), midday (4 dogs), afternoon (6 dogs). Each slot capped at their limit. Owners book their dog in from the portal. Full slots close automatically.

Use case 2

Converting regular clients to monthly plans

20 owners each using the service 4–5 times per week. Moving them from per-walk billing to monthly plans at £120/month creates £2,400/month in predictable recurring income.

Use case 3

New dog joining the round

Owner registers their dog online: health notes, vaccination records, gate code, emergency contact. Pays first month's plan. Books the first walk — all without a single message to you.

Use case 4

Managing a mixed solo and group walk day

Three group walks plus two solo walks for dogs that can't walk in a group. Each is its own service type with separate scheduling, pricing, and capacity rules.
