Pet sitting booking system
Take visit and house-sit bookings without the messaging marathon.
Clients book drop-ins or a house sit on your own page, for their cats, dogs or rabbits, and add how to get in. It all lands with the address, pets and access details attached.

Booking a round of visits by message is a full-time job.
The round you assemble from scraps. Six homes, each wanting different times, all confirmed across a tangle of messages you have to re-read to be sure.
The once-or-twice-a-day muddle. “Morning and evening, but just mornings at the weekend”, agreed over messages, easy to get wrong and costly when you do.
The booking that slips. A holiday request comes in late, you reply the next day, and they’ve booked the sitter who answered first, while you were between homes.
Your booking page takes the requests cleanly, with times and addresses attached.

Booking page questions
Can clients book more than one visit a day?
Yes. They can book a morning and an evening visit, each at a time you have free. For overnight care, a house sit is booked as a stay and priced by the night.
Guide: BookingsWill the access details be there on the day?
Yes. Clients add how to get in to their profile, and it appears on their bookings, so whoever’s visiting has the key and alarm details to hand.
Guide: ClientsWhat is an any-time-that-day visit?
The client picks the day and you fit the visit in around your round, instead of promising a set time. You can cap how many of these you take each day.
Guide: ServicesDoes it work for cat sitting and other pets?
Yes. Each pet has its own profile whatever the species, and you can limit a service to dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles or small mammals.
Guide: Pets and vaccinationsCan clients pay when they book?
Yes, with Stripe connected and pay at booking switched on in Settings. Their card is held when they book and charged when you accept. Without Stripe, you invoice as usual.
Guide: PaymentsDo I need a website?
No. Your booking page is a link you can share anywhere: Instagram, WhatsApp, your car or your own website if you have one.
Guide: Client booking portalOn iPhone and Android
Every home’s details, on the doorstep.
