Everything in the app
Every feature
Everything Hound-Up does, in one place. Features marked Autopilot are part of the £9.99 a month plan; everything else is free for up to 10 clients. See a typical day.
Clients and dogs
- Full profile per dog — breed, sex, age (or birthdate), temperament, diet notes
- Medical notes with a flagged MEDICAL badge so nothing urgent gets missed
- Vet name, phone and address on file for every dog
- Emergency contacts and home-entry instructions (lockbox codes, alarm codes) stored per client
- Custom rates per client — override your defaults for anyone, without fuss
- Dog photos and colour-tagged avatars throughout the app
Your own booking website
- A real, branded public page for your business — not a listing on somebody else's marketplace Autopilot
- Clients pick from your own priced services — a flat-rate visit, an hourly walk, or an overnight sit
- Overnight-sit bookings collect a proper FROM/TO date range, never squeezed into a single day
- A separate "Ask a question" enquiry form for anyone not ready to pick a date yet
- Every request lands pre-filled in your bell notifications — accept and it opens already knowing the service, the date and, where it can, the client
- Enquiries email straight to your own inbox as well, so nothing gets missed
- Publish a live availability calendar so clients see your free slots before they even ask Autopilot
- Zero commission, ever — every booking made through your page is entirely yours
Scheduling and calendar
- Recurring schedules (e.g. every Mon/Wed/Fri, or alternate-week fortnightly patterns)
- One-off ad-hoc bookings in seconds
- Clean native month/week calendar view
- House sits built in as a first-class booking type alongside walks — hourly or multi-night, billed correctly either way
- Subscribeable calendar feed — pipe your bookings straight into Apple/Google Calendar
Walks and live tracking
- Log a walk before you go, or after the fact — no rigid timers required
- Flat-rate visits or hourly walks, billed automatically at the right rate
- Group walks with multiple dogs in one entry
- Live GPS route tracking with real-time distance and duration
- Lock Screen live walk — see your walk running from the lock screen (and the Dynamic Island on iPhone), with a one-tap "Stop & Save"
- Voice-to-text walk notes, transcribed entirely on-device — nothing ever leaves the phone
- Route map saved against every completed walk
Smart booking import
- Paste a client's WhatsApp/text message straight in — AI extracts who, when, and what's needed
- Understands new bookings, recurring requests, and edits/cancellations to existing bookings
- Auto-matches the dog mentioned to your existing records
- Fills in fuzzy dates ("next Tuesday afternoon"), durations ("an hour's walk") and weekday patterns automatically
- You review and confirm everything before it's saved — always in control
Invoicing and getting paid
- Every completed walk/sit rolls automatically into a per-client ledger
- Professional PDF invoices with your logo, business name and bank details
