Can regular dog walking clients be billed monthly instead of per walk?

Yes. Monthly walk plans cover a set number of walks. Clients pay once per month via Stripe and book their dog's walks as needed within the plan quota.

Can clients pause their plan when they're on holiday with their dog?

Yes. Subscription pausing allows clients to pause for 1–4 weeks. Billing suspends and resumes automatically. No cancellation required.

Can I bill multiple pets from the same family under one plan?

Yes. Multi-pet plans cover multiple animals under one monthly Stripe charge. Each pet has their own service credits and booking history linked to the family account.

Can I offer a long-term commitment plan with a discount?

Yes. Quarterly or annual plans billed upfront at a small discount vs monthly billing are supported. Good for your most loyal, regular pet owners.

What happens to unused walk credits at the end of the month?

You control the rollover policy. Unused credits can expire or roll to the next month with a cap. Per your terms, clients who miss walks without pausing their plan don't receive compensation.

Can I offer a daycare membership alongside walk plans?

Yes. Dog daycare memberships (e.g. 4 days/month at the daycare facility) are set up alongside walk plans. Clients choose the services that match their needs.

Can I offer trial week subscriptions for new clients?

Yes. Create a trial plan (e.g. first week of walks at a discounted rate). After the trial period, the plan automatically converts to the full monthly rate unless cancelled.

What is Pet Care Subscription Software?

Subscription software for pet care businesses converts casual, per-visit clients into monthly plan members who generate consistent, predictable recurring income.

✓ Sell weekly, monthly, or quarterly pet care plans
✓ Stripe handles all recurring billing automatically
✓ Clients receive a service quota per billing period
✓ Lapsed plans automatically block service booking
✓ Clients manage their own plan from a self-service portal

A pet care subscription model secures your regular client relationships and creates income you can plan and invest around.

The problems pet care subscription software solves

Manual workarounds that cost pet care businesses hours every week.

Regular walkers who pay per walk creating unpredictable income

Pet owners who cancel a week of walks for the school holidays reduce your income by 20% without notice. Monthly billing continues regardless of individual cancellations.

Losing regular clients who find a cheaper option

A monthly plan commitment creates loyalty and switching cost. Pet owners on a plan are significantly less likely to drift to a cheaper yet unknown alternative.

No way to scale beyond a certain number of clients on informal billing

Per-walk billing breaks down after 15–20 regular clients. Monthly subscription billing scales to any number of clients without additional admin.

Chasing payment from pet owners who are difficult to contact

Chasing a per-walk invoice from a busy professional with two dogs is time you're not spending on the animals. Stripe automates collection and handles reminders.

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 subscription software

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

Monthly walking and grooming plans

Create plans by frequency, 5 walks/week (£120/month), 3 walks/week (£80/month), 1 groom/month (£30/month). Stripe renews on the billing date. Service credits refresh monthly.

Recurring pet care plans

Multi-pet family plans

Family accounts covering multiple pets can receive a bundled plan at a slight discount. All pets managed under one account with separate service credits.

Multi-pet family billing

Self-service plan management

Clients upgrade, downgrade, pause, or cancel from the self-service portal. A holiday pause suspends billing and access without cancelling the relationship.

Self-service client portal

Automated payment recovery

Failed Stripe payments are retried automatically. If unresolved, service booking access is suspended and the client receives automated payment notifications.

Automated dunning
