Walkies is an app for dog walkers and pet sitters to run their business. You keep your bookings, walks and visits, client updates, invoices and payments in one place. To get started, download Walkies, sign up, add your services and clients, then book your first appointment.
If you mean starting out as a dog walker or pet sitter, see How do I become a pet sitter? For everything Walkies can do, see What can Walkies do?
What Walkies is
Walkies: the app for you and your team, on iPhone, iPad and Android, and in a web browser. You book appointments, do walks and visits, and send invoices.
Walkies Journal: the free app for your clients. They can follow walks live, see updates and photos, book with you, pay invoices and message you. Clients don't have to use it: without it, they get everything by email, including appointments, walk and visit reports and invoices, with links that open in a web browser. See What is the Walkies Journal app?
Your own clients: Walkies isn't a marketplace. It doesn't find you work or list you for pet owners to find. You bring your own clients, and you keep them. See How do I get customers?
Set up your business, step by step
Add your services, like walks, drop-ins or boarding, with their prices. See How do I add a service?
Set your working hours, so clients can only book when you work. See How do I set my availability and working hours?
Add your clients and their pets. Add them yourself, or send them a link to add their own details. See Which way should I add my clients? Moving from another app? See How do I switch to Walkies from another app?
Book appointments, one-off or repeating. See How do I book an appointment?
Do your walks and visits, with live updates and photos for your clients. See How do I start and end a walk?
Invoice and get paid. See How do I add an invoice? and How do I set up Walkies Pay?
Add your logo and brand color, so your clients' app looks like yours. See How do I add my logo and brand color?
Joining someone else's team?
If you work for a pet care business that already uses Walkies, don't sign up as a new company. Ask the owner to send you a team member link, and join their team with it. See Can I use Walkies with a team? and What can team members see and do?
Are you a pet owner?
If your pet sitter uses Walkies, they'll send you a link to connect the Walkies Journal app. See How do I find a pet sitter?
