Built for solo walkers, not call centres
Dog walking software for UK walkers who book their own clients.
The Pet Sitter App replaces the WhatsApp thread, the paper diary, and the spreadsheet with one app: a 52-week recurring schedule, group walks across households, key codes and vet cards you can reach in the field, and a booking page you can put on your own website.

What UK dog walkers actually need from software
Most pet-care platforms are built for agencies with staff rotas and a reception desk. Walking four dogs from three houses before work needs different things.
Recurring walk patterns
Set a walk once and repeat it for 52 weeks - Mondays and Thursdays at 08:00, term time only, or every weekday except bank holidays. Change one occurrence without unpicking the series.
Multi-household group walks
One group walk holds dogs from several client records, so a pickup run is a single calendar entry with the right dogs attached - and a warning if one is booked twice.
Keys, codes, and vet cards
Key safe codes are encrypted and revealed only when you need them. Each dog has an emergency card with a tap-to-call vet number, microchip, allergies, and off-lead consent.
A booking page you own
Every sitter gets a public page with services, prices, and availability. Send the link to a new client and they request a slot themselves instead of texting you at 22:00.
Earnings, mileage, and records
Track what each walk earns, log mileage in miles or kilometres, and export the lot as CSV when your accountant asks for it.
A home-screen app, no store download
Install to your phone from the browser. Works on iOS and Android, with photo check-ins sent to owners over WhatsApp in a couple of taps.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if you
- walk or sit solo, or with one or two other walkers, and take your own bookings
- run regular weekday routes and want the admin to take minutes, not evenings
- hold keys and need access codes that are not sitting in a notes app
- want a professional booking page without paying for a website build
Look elsewhere if you
- run a large day-care centre with staff rotas, payroll, and a reception team
- want a marketplace to send you new customers - this is software, not a lead site
- need kennel or cattery management with runs, inspections, and boarding contracts

Questions walkers ask
- How much does dog walking software cost?
- The Pet Sitter App starts at £4.95 a month for the Starter plan and £9.95 a month for Pro Walker, or two months free on annual billing. There is a 14-day free trial with no card details, and no commission on bookings at any tier.
- Do my clients need to download an app?
- No. Clients open your booking page in a browser on any phone. You install the app to your own home screen as a progressive web app, so there is no App Store download for either side.
- Can it handle group walks with dogs from different households?
- Yes. A group walk is one booking that pulls dogs from several client records, and the app warns you when the same dog is booked twice or when a walk would break the household limit you set.
- Does it work for cat visits and pet sitting, not just walks?
- Yes. Solo walks, group walks, drop-in visits, puppy visits, overnight sits, and holiday sits are all supported, each with its own rate and its own checklist of care tasks.
- Can I invoice clients and export my records?
- You can record payments against bookings, track mileage, and export bookings, clients, and earnings as CSV for your accountant or Self Assessment. Invoices and payment reminders are built into the paid plans.
- Is there a free plan?
- There is a 14-day full-access trial rather than a permanent free tier, because the app is a flat-fee product with no commission to subsidise free accounts.
