DISCOVERCreate a dog walking app
Dog walker app: show your area, book meet-and-greets and fill the gaps in your walking week
Owners check that their street is in your area, book a meet-and-greet with their dog, then a one-off walk when they need one; regular weekly walks are agreed face to face.
Give your dog walking business its own app, no code required, on iOS, Android and the web: your service area on a map, your terms, meet-and-greets and solo walks booked in your free hours, and walk photos for your clients only.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
You're starting out in your neighborhood
Your first clients live a few blocks away. The map puts a pin on each park and neighborhood you cover, and meet-and-greets are booked in the app: you see each dog at home before you walk it. One page sets out your terms and your rates.
You run a pack walk at midday
From 11:30 am to 2 pm, you walk your regular dogs together, never more than the number you set for yourself. Those hours stay closed to booking: a spot in the pack is decided after the meet-and-greet. Walk photos go into a gallery closed to the public, opened to your clients only through Authentication and User groups.
There are two or three of you
Each walker has their own booking section and Google Calendar; owners choose the walker, then the time. On a day one of you is off, they add it to their calendar: their slots close, and the others' stay open.
What you work out before the first walk
Keys
A spare key handed over in person, a lockbox or a gate code: how you get in while the owner is at work.
Harness and leash
The dog's gear stays at home, ready by the door: a well-fitted harness, leash, bags, a towel for muddy days.
Recall and getting along
Does the dog come back when called, and play nicely with other dogs? The answer decides whether it joins the pack or walks solo.
Emergency numbers
The dog's vet, and a friend or relative to call if the owner doesn't pick up.
Rainy days
Walk as usual in a shower, cut short in a thunderstorm, or pushed back until it clears: your rule is in your terms, published in the app.
The meet-and-greet, booked before any walk
30 minutes at the owner's home to get to know the dog
The owner picks a 30-minute slot in the "Meet-and-greet" section. The form asks for their address, the dog's name and age, its size and how it behaves around other dogs; since the form applies to all your sections, a walk booked later asks the same questions. A confirmation email goes to them and to you, and the meet-and-greet is added to your Google Calendar. On the spot, you agree on the regular days in person: Monday, Wednesday and Friday around 2 pm, for example.
Time ranges that follow the seasons
Mornings and late afternoons for solo walks, midday closed for the pack
Solo walks, in one-hour slots, open in two ranges, 8 to 11 am and 4 to 7 pm; midday stays closed for the pack, and so do your regulars' hours. When the first hot days arrive, move the morning range up to 7 am and push the evening one back to 8 pm, once the asphalt has cooled enough not to burn paws. Your vacation goes in as exceptional closures: any walk already booked on those dates is canceled, and its client notified by email. The meet-and-greet has its own section, with 30-minute slots, tied to the same Google Calendar: whatever is booked in one blocks the matching time in the other.
How much does a dog walker app cost?
Clients install your app from the App Store and Google Play: that takes the Premium plan. For them to book meet-and-greets and walks, add the Appointment booking extension, or move to Pro, which includes it, along with Authentication, which keeps your photo gallery private. The area map and notifications cost nothing extra.
| Premium · your app on iPhone, Android and the web | $55 /month, billed yearly |
| On top of Premium: booking for meet-and-greets | $15 /month |
| Pro · meet-and-greets and walks bookable from day one | $105 /month, billed yearly |
On the Standard plan, your app exists only as a web version, and without booking. Apple and Google developer accounts are paid separately, to the stores, and no walk is paid for in the app.
Dog walker app: your questions before launch
Can a client book all their walks for the week in one go?
No: there are no recurring bookings, and each booking takes a single slot. For a regular client, that's not a gap: their days are settled at the meet-and-greet, and you keep those hours closed in your time ranges so nobody else takes them. If they switch from Tuesday to Thursday, reopen the old hour and close the new one.
Can two owners book the same pack walk?
No. Each slot closes at the first booking: one dog, or two dogs from the same household booked together. The pack isn't filled through the app; you put it together after the meet-and-greets, with dogs that get along, and its hours stay closed.
How do I share walk photos without making them public?
Post them in a gallery reserved for the "Clients" group. Each owner opens an account in the app (Authentication), and you add them to that group from the back office. Visitors see your introduction, your area and your terms, not your clients' dogs. A notification sent to that group alone announces new photos.
It's too hot out: how do I let all my clients know?
Send a push notification now, or schedule it for early the next morning, to all the app's users or only to your clients' group: "Heat alert: walks at 7 am and after 8 pm, no midday outings." To reach one client in particular, pick up the phone: the app sends no individual messages.
A client cancels the same morning: what happens?
If they cancel in the app, or through the link they got when booking, the slot reopens, the walk leaves your Google Calendar and an email lets you know. The app charges nothing for a late cancellation; your terms are between you and the client. For the opposite problem, last-minute bookings, set a minimum notice: two hours, or no same-day bookings at all.
Can clients pay for walks in the app?
No. Nothing is paid at booking: not the walk, not a package, not an upfront fee. Clients pay as they do today, by bank transfer or cash, and your rates appear on your terms page. Nothing keeps a running count of the month's walks either.
Can I limit bookings to my service area?
Not automatically: the app doesn't sort addresses. The form asks for the address, as a required field if you like, and the map shows the neighborhoods and parks you cover. If a meet-and-greet gets booked outside your area, cancel it: the owner receives an email, and the slot frees up.
Extension Store
Appointment booking carries meet-and-greets and one-off walks, as an option with Premium or included in Pro. CMS Map shows your area; Authentication and User groups keep the gallery private; Push notifications announce heat waves and last-minute changes. The Form takes requests for regular walks, and CMS Contact lets clients call you in one tap.
