Dog walking booking system

Clients book walks while you’re out walking.

Your own booking page shows only the walks with space. Clients confirm their email with a code and pick a time. You accept with one tap, or let bookings go straight in.

Booking by message doesn’t scale.

  1. Requests arrive mid-walk. A client messages while you have six dogs on leads, and by the time you reply they’ve booked someone else.

  2. Group walks overbook. Two clients ask for the same slot and you only find out at the field, with one dog too many.

  3. The same five questions. Are you free Tuesday? Morning or afternoon? Can you take two? Every booking is a two-day conversation.

Your booking page fixes all three, without you picking up the phone.

How a booking works

From their sofa to your schedule.

  1. On your page

    Ben picks a walk.

    He opens your booking page, chooses a group walk and sees only the times with space.

  2. Sign in

    A 6-digit code.

    Ben confirms his email with a code. So you know every booking comes from a real address.

  3. Request

    Card held, request sent.

    With Stripe connected, the price is held on his card, not taken. The request lands on your Today screen.

  4. You accept

    One tap and it’s booked.

    Accept and the walk is on your schedule, paid. Decline and the hold is released.

No messages back and forth.

Your own booking page

A page that books for you.

Share one link anywhere: your Instagram bio, your van, your emails. Clients see your services, your prices and the times you have free, day or night.

  • Your name and logo up front
  • Only the services you choose to show
  • Open every hour you can’t answer the phone
Set up your booking page

Real availability

Group walks that never overbook.

Set how many dogs fit each walk. Clients only see times with space, and a full walk shows as Full, so you never arrive with one dog too many.

  • Spaces set for each walk
  • Full walks can’t be picked
  • Accept each request, or let bookings go straight in

Booking page questions

Where does my booking page live?

At app.barclo.co.uk/book/your-business-name. Share it on Instagram, WhatsApp, your van or your website. You don’t need a website of your own.

Guide: Client booking portal

Do clients need to sign up first?

No. New clients confirm their email with a 6-digit code as they book, so you know every booking comes from a real address.

Can a group walk get overbooked?

No. Once a walk reaches the spaces you set, it shows as Full and can’t be picked.

Guide: Walk slots

Do I have to accept every booking?

Your choice. Check each request before it’s booked, or let bookings go straight into your diary.

Guide: Bookings

Can clients pay when they book?

Yes, with Stripe connected. Their card is held when they book and charged when you accept. Without Stripe, you invoice as usual.

Guide: Payments

Can I hide some services?

Yes. Switch on “Show on your booking page” only for the services clients can book themselves.
