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

Today’s and tomorrow’s planned walks

Open the app and your day is already there: every walk and sit, the dogs, and the weather. 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

Keys, access codes and important info

Every client and dog is on record: lockbox and alarm codes, the vet, emergency contacts, and medical notes flagged so nothing urgent gets missed.

On the walk

Live tracking, right from your Lock Screen

Start a walk and it stays on your Lock Screen, with the time, the distance and the route drawing as you go. Add notes by voice, 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 or WhatsApp. Clients pay by bank transfer or by card, paid invoices tidy themselves away, and there’s a CSV for your accountant by UK tax year.

New clients Autopilot

Your own micro-site advertising your business and services, with appointment booking & enquiries

Clients pick a service you’ve priced, request a walk or an overnight sit, or ask a question first. Every request lands in the app, ready to accept into your schedule.
