Features

Locked Doors, Late Pay and Long Routes, Fixed

Six fixes, in order of what they cost you. Lost walks come first, then billing, repeat walks, notes and routes.

Late Cancels

Get Paid for the Walk You Couldn't Do

You waited 25 minutes on a porch with no key under the mat. Your late-cancel rule sits in the client's first quote. So the lockout fee is one line on Friday's bill.

  • Write your 24-hour cancel rule into quote terms → it's on record
  • Have the client accept the quote → they saw the fee before walk one
  • Save a lockout fee in your price book → one tap to add it
  • Cancel the visit with a reason → a dated record of the lockout
  • Snap the locked door → a photo backs up the charge
  • Put the fee on that week's invoice → no separate awkward message
  • Save a holiday surcharge too → Christmas Eve walks cost more

Weekly Billing

Friday Billing Without the Awkward Ask

Asking a friendly client for money feels rude, so it slides. On Friday, send each household one invoice for the week's walks, extras included. They tap the link and pay from their phone.

  • Save 20-, 30- and 60-minute walks in your price book → prices fill in
  • Add the extra Wednesday walk as a line → it doesn't slip by
  • Add a second-dog fee → two leashes get paid like two
  • Let clients pay by card or bank transfer → no Venmo requests
  • Mark the Parkers' Venmo as paid → Friday's list stays true
  • Add a weekend surcharge line → Saturday walks earn more
  • Check what's unpaid on Monday morning → a friendly nudge, not a chase

Recurring Walks

Walk Changes Pulled Out of Buried Texts

Max's owner texts that Tuesday moves to Thursday, and the text gets buried. Set Max's walks to repeat weekly. Then make this week's change on the calendar where you'll see it.

  • Set Luna's noon walk to repeat weekly → it's there every Monday
  • Add a daily let-out for a new puppy → no missed potty breaks
  • Book a meet-and-greet walk for a new client → see if the dog fits
  • Color code solo, group and puppy visits → see which slots are group walks
  • Scan week view for a 1 p.m. gap → room for one more regular
  • Cancel a holiday walk with a reason → the skip is on record
  • Say Luna's walk moves to 1 p.m. → it updates once you confirm

Walk Notes and Photos

Proof of the Walk Without Screenshots

Skip the fitness-app screen caps. Mark Arrived when you clip the leash and complete the visit at the door. Add a photo from the park and a quick note: pee, poop, pulled at squirrels.

  • Mark Arrived at the door → start time saved on the visit
  • Complete the visit at drop-off → end time saved too
  • Snap Luna at the dog park → the photo lives on her visit
  • Type pee, poop and water in the note → a record for every walk
  • Attach the week's photos to the invoice → the client sees the walks
  • Open job history when a client asks → dated proof of every visit
  • Photo a cut paw pad → you have it before you call the client

Keys and Access

Fill-In Walkers Get In on the First Try

A new walker covering your Thursday route opens the visit and sees it all. The lockbox is on the side gate, the back door sticks, and Bruno can't meet other dogs.

  • Save the lockbox spot and code → no guessing at the door
  • Note a backup way in → a dead keypad won't cancel the walk
  • Flag reactive dogs in the notes → no surprise greetings on the block
  • Write down collar and leash quirks → a fill-in walks them right
  • Keep vet and after-hours numbers on the client → no hunting in an emergency
  • Add a lunch feeding or meds to the visit → nothing skipped midday
  • Update a gate code on the job → future walks show the new one

Routes and Walkers

Fewer Cross-Town Trips Between Noon and Three

You cross the city three times between noon and three. On the Team plan, group regulars by neighborhood on the map, and hand the far cluster to your first hire.

  • Move a far-off regular to the day you're nearby → shorter loops
  • Assign the Thursday route to a new walker → it shows on their phone
  • Plan the best route on the map → less driving between buildings
  • See walkers live on the map → know who's closest to a sick-day walk
  • Have walkers clock in and out → hours wait for your approval
  • Chat about a route change in the app → not lost in texts
  • Add your first walker on Team → the route splits in two

What Is Dog Walking Business Software?

Dog walking business software is an app that books repeat walks, keeps access notes and bills clients for each walk. For a walker, it replaces the notes app, the paper calendar and the Friday Venmo requests. It isn't a GPS walk tracker, and it has no pet profiles. Pet-only apps add those if you need them.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can a puppy get daily let-outs and another dog every two weeks?

Yes, within four repeat options: daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly. A new puppy can have a let-out every day, and a part-timer can go every two weeks. Patterns like "every third Friday" don't fit, so add those visits one at a time.

What if a client says they never agreed to a cancel fee?

Point to the quote they accepted, because the terms are part of it. Procured keeps the quote with its status, so you can show when they said yes. Add the dated cancel note and the locked-door photo, and the talk stays short.

Can clients still pay me by Venmo or Zelle?

Yes. Record Venmo, Zelle, cash or a check against the invoice, so your list of who owes stays right. Or they can pay Friday's bill online with a card or a bank transfer. No saved card gets charged each week on its own.

Does it work as dog walking and sitting business software for the odd overnight?

Yes. Book a pet sit as its own job with a start and end date. Add the drop-in visits and quote it at your per-night rate. Pet-only apps often have pet profiles and shot records; here, that info goes in the notes. Walks and sits then share one calendar.

What should dog walking software do for a solo walker?

For one walker, it should handle repeat walks, access notes and Friday billing on one phone. Procured's Solo plan covers that at one flat price. If GPS maps and client booking matter most to you, look at a pet-only app.

Does it send clients a GPS map or report card after each walk?

No. Procured saves arrival and finish times, photos and notes on each visit. It doesn't draw a map or message the client. If a client wants a same-day update, text them the park photo yourself. If live report cards are what you sell, a pet-only app suits you more.

Can owners grab an open slot in the dog walking scheduling software?

Not by themselves. Clients send a request through your website form or client portal, like an extra Wednesday walk. You then add it to the calendar. They can't grab an open slot and lock it in. That keeps you in charge of which walks share a street, at the cost of one more step for you.

Who keeps track of which walker holds which key?

You do, since Procured has no key log. What it does hold is the access info. Write "key on Jen's ring" in the client notes beside the lockbox code. Anyone assigned to the walk sees it. Update the note when a key changes hands.

Is it worth paying for with only a few regular dogs?

Yes. Procured's price is flat, so eight regulars cost the same as forty. You get the same scheduling, notes and invoicing either way. Start with your best five clients, run one real week, and add the rest once Friday billing works.

What does dog walking business software cost once I hire walkers?

$75 a month on Team, and you plus four walkers share one flat bill. Each walker gets the app on their own phone, with the walks you assign them. Hire a fifth walker and you move to the Business plan: $145 a month, with 15 seats.
