A page that sells the round, not a diary
Group walks, solo walks and a paid intro walk before anything joins, each with a real length, a real price and real availability behind it.

Set the days once and leave them
Tuesday and Friday, the same six dogs, generated weeks ahead. The round stops being something you rewrite in your head on a Sunday.
Learn moreCould Nero join your Tuesday group? He is nine months old and a bit much on the lead.
The dog nobody has met.
Somebody asks to join Tuesday. It arrives as a request in the thread to accept or decline, so no unknown dog is ever added to a group for you.
The same days, month after month.
A standing arrangement fills the weeks ahead and keeps topping the horizon up, so the round is something you look at rather than something you rebuild every Sunday night.
The household whose key you hold.
One record per door, with the phone number, what they have spent and the access notes kept internal, where the owner never sees them.

Every walk this dog has had.
The dog is a named subject on the household, so its breed, its quirks and every walk it has been on sit in one place instead of in your head.
One walk, priced before the lead goes on.
The solo walk is its own service with its own length and its own price, so a dog that cannot go in a group is never sold a group place.
The walks you actually sell
Every kind of walk on the round
The set-days group walk
The same handful of dogs on the same mornings, sold as its own service and generated ahead so nobody has to rebook it week after week.
The solo walk
A dog that cannot share a lead run gets its own service at its own price, and is never offered a place in the group by accident.
The intro walk
A short paid first walk before a dog joins anything, so working out whether it fits the round is a booking rather than an unpaid favour.
The dog exercise area run
A longer off-leash run for the dogs you trust, priced above the footpath walk because it takes the better part of a morning.
The puppy short walk
Twenty minutes on the lead a few days a week, listed as its own short service so it stops quietly eating an hour of the round.
The midday let-out
A quick toilet break for a dog home alone all day: short, repeated and cheap, which is exactly what a standing arrangement handles well.
The old dog amble
A slow twenty minutes for a stiff senior, walked alone and timed honestly instead of being squeezed onto the end of the group hour.
Two dogs, one gate
A pair from one household priced as its own service, so the second dog is charged for properly rather than walked out of goodwill.
Holiday extra walks
A fortnight of additional walks while the family is home, itemised on one quote, accepted online and turned straight into bookings.
One arrangement, not forty bookings.
A dozen households on set days is one standing arrangement. Set the pattern once and the walks are in the diary before anybody rings to confirm.
Set once, generated ahead
Same days, weekly or monthly, ending never or after a set number of walks. Standing arrangements are free and fill the diary in ahead of you.
Three shapes of week, one quote
Two walks, three, or a holiday block on top, priced side by side with the one you would run marked recommended. Options come with Pro.
Shift one walk, keep the pattern
A household away for a week moves that walk alone. Reschedule it and the rest of the arrangement re-anchors rather than being rebuilt by hand.

One reactive dog changes everything.
Which dogs go together is a judgement, not a seat count. Pull one out of the group and onto the solo lane, on any plan, before the morning starts.
A lane for every walker
The whole morning on one timeline, so the round running late and the round with room left are a single glance apart.
Nothing commits until you let go
Drag a walk to another time or another walker. Edits batch up and go in together once the morning finally makes sense.
The solo walk stays solo
A dog that cannot walk in company is a separate service at a separate price, so nothing offers it a group place by mistake.
The fortnight of extra walks, agreed in writing.
School holidays double the round for two weeks. Itemise it once, send it as a link, and the moment the owner accepts it becomes real walks in the diary.
Two or three walks a day, side by side
Offer the shapes of the fortnight as named options with the one you would run marked recommended. Options are the Pro part; the quote itself is not.
A line per dog, not one lump sum
Each dog and each kind of walk gets its own line with a count and a rate, so nobody argues about the total two weeks later.
Accepting fills the diary
They accept by typing their name, and the accepted quote converts into the bookings, at the address, with the lines already on them.

A round only pays if it is tight.
Doors a few streets apart make a round. Doors twenty minutes apart make a day in the car. Claim the districts you walk and the rest never books.
The day somebody else walks your round.
You are ill, and a dozen doors still need opening. Whoever covers gets the hours, the districts and every access note already on the record.
Their own hours, their own walks
Each walker carries the services they can run and the areas they cover, so nothing lands on somebody who has never met the dog.
Only the doors they can reach
A walker is only offered a round inside the districts they actually cover, which on this trade means the streets they already hold keys on.
The notes travel with the dog
Breed, temperament and the thing you must never do at the back gate are on the record, not in a message you sent someone in March.

The week settled, without asking twice.
Most owners still transfer it or leave cash out. Record that against the walk for nothing, and send a link when you would rather not have the conversation.
Cash and transfer are free
Write down what actually landed, against the walk, on the Free plan. Cards are the only part of the money that needs Pro.
A link instead of a reminder
Send a payment request for the week and the owner settles it with no account and no app. The money lands in your own account.
One list of who is behind
The Payments list totals what is in and what is still out, so the household three weeks adrift is visible rather than suspected.

Common questions.
There is no national dog-walker licence. The Dog Control Act 1996 puts the rules with each territorial authority, which can make bylaws requiring dogs on a leash in named public places and designating dog exercise areas, and registration and control remain the owner’s duties. Check the councils you work across.
Yes. A standing arrangement holds the days, the dogs and the service, generates the walks ahead and keeps topping the horizon up, and it costs nothing on the Free plan.
On the household record, as internal notes the owner never sees, with each dog on the same record as a named subject carrying its breed and its quirks. A cover walker gets the lot without ringing you.
Yes. Make the intro walk the only thing a new dog can book, or leave the group round request-only so an enquiry arrives in your inbox for you to accept or decline.
No. There is no GPS, no live tracking and no photo sending anywhere in Bookables. It handles the round, the record and the money, and nothing on the lead.
The Free plan runs with no card and no time limit on a monthly booking allowance, and every walk on a standing round counts as one booking. The plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
