What dog walking software should do
Most tools sold to dog walkers are generic appointment bookers with a dog on the homepage. These seven jobs are what a walking round actually needs — and each one is covered in PawLoop.
Recurring walk scheduling
Weekly patterns held as real series, projected weeks ahead, with skips and pauses that don't break the pattern.
See scheduling →Client and pet records
One household profile per client, each dog with its own care notes, medication, photos and internal-only notes.
See records →Invoicing built from the walks
Invoices assembled from completed bookings, branded with your logo, sent by email and tracked to paid.
Invoice software →Payment tracking and credit
See who owes what, mark payments, and hold client credit balances when a paid walk is cancelled.
See payments →A client portal
A branded login where customers check their walks, pets, documents and invoices instead of messaging you.
See the portal →Expenses and reporting
Costs logged next to income so revenue figures turn into real profit figures over any date range.
See reporting →Proper mobile use
A mobile-first app that installs to your home screen — run the round, mark walks done, check gate codes.

Recurring walks modelled properly
A walking round is the same dogs on the same days, week after week. PawLoop stores that as a repeating series: set the days, times, walk type and price once and bookings project twelve weeks ahead automatically.
Skip a bank holiday, pause a client for their fortnight in Spain, or move one Tuesday walk to Wednesday — the underlying pattern stays intact and picks back up. Business closures cancel the affected walks in one go.
One household record, every dog inside it
Each client gets a single profile with address, access notes, vet and emergency contacts and billing details. Every dog keeps its own record — breed, age, temperament, medication, feeding notes and photos — plus internal notes clients never see.
New customers complete their own details through a shareable onboarding link, so you aren't copying addresses out of text messages.
Invoices built from the walks you've done
Pick a client, select the walks to bill, and PawLoop assembles the invoice lines with dates, service types and the prices set for that household. Branded emails go out with your logo and business details, and you mark them sent, paid or overdue.
Bill in arrears or in advance, apply client credit automatically, and see draft, sent, overdue and paid totals at a glance. More on invoicing →
Runs from a phone in a wet coat pocket
PawLoop is a mobile-first web app that installs to your home screen on iPhone and Android — no app store, no separate version to keep updated. Open the day list, mark walks complete, add notes and check a gate code with gloves on.
The office view and the phone view are the same schedule, so nothing gets retyped and everyone sees the same picture.
Know what the round actually earns
Log expenses and recurring costs next to income so your revenue line becomes a profit line. Reports cover revenue, walks, clients, pets, expenses and profitability over any date range.
Solo and Team owners also get a weekly "week ahead" summary and a daily walk list by email, so the numbers and the round come to you.
Spreadsheets versus dog walking software
- Next month's diary. A spreadsheet needs rows copied down by hand; software projects the pattern for you.
- Invoices. A spreadsheet gives you a total to retype; software builds the invoice from the walks and tracks payment.
- Client questions. A spreadsheet can't be shared safely; a client portal answers "when are you next in?" without a message.
- Profit. A spreadsheet shows takings; software nets off logged costs so you see what's left.
- Mistakes. One mis-drag on a phone rewrites a spreadsheet cell silently; PawLoop keeps an audit history.
Pounds, postcodes and Making Tax Digital
Prices, invoices and reports are all in pounds sterling — no currency conversion, no US-style sales tax fields and no per-walk transaction fees bolted on top of your subscription.
Income and expenses are kept as digital records you can report on and export, which is the groundwork Making Tax Digital for Income Tax expects of sole traders. Xero integration is in development, with QuickBooks and FreeAgent planned. What MTD means for dog walkers →
Client and pet data lives in your account with role-based access, so walkers see the dogs they're walking without seeing your revenue.
