Pet Sitting Software That Books While You Walk
What running a pet sitting business without scheduling software actually costs you
Without Calday
- Client texts at 10pm to book a dog walk Saturday. You're asleep. They're gone by morning.
- Client cancels the morning of a cat visit. You already drove there. That's an hour gone.
- Three clients ask about the same Thursday afternoon slot. Two book elsewhere while you're on a walk.
- You keep pet names, gate codes, and feeding schedules scattered across six different texts.
- You finish a weekend overnight sit and awkwardly Venmo-request the owner for $200.
With Calday
- Clients book online any time. You wake up to a confirmed visit and a deposit already collected.
- Deposit collected at booking. Last-minute cancellations cost them, not you.
- Your booking page handles new requests while you're on the route. No missed clients.
- Every pet's details, care notes, and access information — in one place before you arrive.
- Payment collected when they booked. Nothing to chase. Nothing to remember.
The Pet Sitting App Built Around How Your Business Actually Works
Running dog walks, overnight stays, drop-in visits, or doggy daycare? Calday works for every service you offer.
Your booking page works while you're on the route
Most dog walk requests come in while you're already walking someone else's dog - by the time you see it, they've booked elsewhere. With Calday, clients book directly into your open slots, with walk length, address, and dog details collected automatically.
- Set walk lengths (30, 60, 90 min) and your available time slots
- Collect dog name, breed, behavior notes, and gate code at booking
- Require a deposit to hold the slot
- Send a confirmation and day-of reminder automatically
Collect payment before you commit a full night to someone's home
An overnight sit is a full commitment - you're in their home, with their pets, for hours. One cancelled overnight can cost you $100–200 of blocked calendar.
- Set a minimum advance booking period for overnights
- Collect pet care instructions, emergency vet info, and house access details at booking
- Require a deposit or full payment upfront
- Add buffer time after long stays before your next booking opens
Pet sitting management software. Runs from your phone.
Four cat visits a day across different homes - different schedules, different keys, owners who never confirm - means a lot to get wrong. Calday stores the feeding schedule, medications, and access notes for every cat on your phone and sends reminders before each visit.
- Collect feeding schedule, medications, and special care notes at booking
- Send a reminder to clients 24 hours before the visit
- Track multiple drop-ins per day on one calendar view
- See all pet details and access notes on your phone before you arrive

How it works?
Running in 5 minutes. No training calls.
Questions from pet sitters
No. Your booking page runs in any browser — clients click your link, pick a service, pick a time, and pay the deposit. No app, no account required. Most bookings take under two minutes.
Yes. Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud all connect. Calday reads your existing events and blocks those times automatically - so clients never see a slot you're already committed to. No double-bookings. No manual management.
Yes. The free plan gives you a booking page, one service type, calendar sync, and automated reminders. No credit card required and no expiry date. The Pro plan ($12/month) adds deposit collection, unlimited service types, intake questions, and payment processing through Stripe.
Yes. Set different intake questions per service — dog walks ask for breed and gate code, overnights ask for vet contact and feeding schedule. Clients fill it in before they book. You have everything before you arrive.
Yes. The Pro plan includes invoicing through Stripe. After a visit, send an invoice from the same app you used to schedule it — clients pay online and the money moves to your bank. No separate invoicing software, no chasing payments after the fact.
Calday handles booking, payments, and client records. Payment records from Stripe sync with most accounting tools including QuickBooks - so your income history stays organized without manual entry.
Pet sitting software is a tool that handles booking, scheduling, client records, and payments for pet sitters and dog walkers. Instead of managing visits by text, clients book directly into your calendar online - with their pet's details, care notes, and deposit collected automatically. Calday is built for exactly this.
The best pet sitting software is the one that gets out of your way. For most solo pet sitters and small dog walking businesses, that means a fast booking page, deposit collection, automated reminders, and client records on your phone. Calday covers all of it, starting free.
Yes. Set a separate price, duration, and deposit requirement for each service type. Clients see the exact cost before they book - no quotes, no back-and-forth on price.
You cancel through Calday and the client receives an automatic notification with the option to reschedule. Deposit handling follows the cancellation policy you set — refund it, apply it to a rescheduled visit, or keep it. Your policy is shown to every client at booking before they confirm.
Most pet sitting software comparison articles cover tools built for staffed agencies, not solo sitters. Calday is different: no per-booking fees, no complicated onboarding, and a free plan that never expires. Core features — booking page, calendar sync, reminders — are free forever. Deposits, payments, and unlimited service types are on the Pro plan at $12/month.
Yes. If you offer doggy daycare alongside walks or drop-ins, each service type gets its own duration, pricing, and deposit rules. Set up daycare as a separate service — clients see your full menu and book what they need. Calday handles all of it from the same calendar.
