Hound-Up

For UK independent dog walkers and pet sitters, on iPhone and Android

Your clients. Your rates. Your app.

I built Hound-Up for walkers and sitters who already have their own clients. Your records, walks, invoices and bookings live in one app, with no marketplace in between and no commission on what you earn.

Straight from the app

A typical day

Morning

Your day, ready when you open the app

Every walk and sit, the dogs, their clients and the weather. One tap marks a walk as walked. Recurring schedules fill your calendar for you, and a client’s WhatsApp message can be pasted straight in to become a booking.

At the door

Safety and access first

Every client page opens on what you need at the door: lockbox and alarm codes, the emergency contact with a Call button, and medical notes flagged so nothing urgent gets missed. Import clients straight from your phone’s contacts.

On the walk

Live tracking, right from your Lock Screen

Start a walk and it stays on your Lock Screen, with the dogs, the time and the distance in miles. Pause when you stop for a while, then finish and send each client their own visit summary, with photos and the route map if you like. Walk one dog or a group, and keep working with no signal.

Month end

Invoices build themselves from the walks you logged

Send every invoice at once by email, with a PDF and your bank details, or share one by WhatsApp. Clients pay by bank transfer or by card, reminders go out for you when one’s overdue, paid invoices tidy themselves away, and there’s a CSV or PDF for your accountant by UK tax year.

New clients

Your own free micro-site, with walk requests and enquiries

Build your page at your own pace and publish it when you’re ready. Clients see your prices, reviews and photos, pick a free time for a walk, or ask a question first. Every request lands in the app, ready to accept into your schedule.
