Everything your pet sitting business needs

Recurring scheduling

Set daily, weekly, or custom-cadence recurring appointments with time windows and per-sitter assignment. Holiday rate overrides and blackout dates apply automatically.

GPS visit verification

Every visit captures GPS at check-in and check-out. Clients see real-time verification in their portal — no more 'did you actually show up?' messages.

Photo visit reports

Walkers submit photo reports after each visit. AI quality scoring flags low-effort submissions before they reach the client.

Client portal

Clients book, approve appointments, view invoices, message their sitter, and see GPS visit proof — all from a mobile-friendly portal.

Automated invoicing

Per-visit billing, recurring invoices for boarding clients, automatic late fees, and Stripe Connect payouts. Get paid without chasing.

Team management

Assign services by sitter qualification, track coverage, manage open shifts, and run payroll and 1099 reports from one dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

What is pet sitter software?

Pet sitter software is a business management platform that handles scheduling, client communication, GPS-verified visit tracking, photo visit reports, invoicing, and team management for pet sitting businesses. It replaces spreadsheets and manual processes so sitters can spend more time with animals and less time on administration.

What features does pet sitter software need?

The essential features are recurring appointment scheduling, GPS check-in/check-out for visit verification, photo visit reports, a client portal for booking and communication, automated invoicing via Stripe, and mobile apps for sitters in the field. Premium features include automated route optimization, AI-scored visit reports, and a public marketplace listing for inbound leads.

Is there free pet sitter software?

Dog Walker Central offers a permanent free plan — not a time-limited trial. See the pricing page for current team limits and included features.

How does GPS verification work in pet sitter software?

When a sitter starts a visit, they tap 'Check in' in the mobile app. The app records their GPS coordinates and timestamps the start. At the end of the visit, they tap 'Check out,' which records the end coordinates and time. The client sees both timestamps and the visit location in their portal, providing verified proof of service.

Can pet sitter software handle multiple sitters?

Yes. Dog Walker Central supports unlimited sitters on paid plans with per-sitter availability, qualification-based service assignment, an open-shift board, GPS tracking per sitter, and team compensation rules including hourly rates, per-visit pay, and tip splitting.
