Dog Walking Software for Recurring Walks, Key Notes and Walk Reports

Mythex lets a dog walking service build recurring weekly booking with group caps, a daily rota walkers open on their phones, walk reports with a photo after every drop-off, private key and access notes, and monthly invoices built from the walks actually done. Describe your routes and publish with a database.

Routine is the product, and the rota is the risk

Dog walking runs on repetition: the same dogs on the same days, collected by key or lockbox, walked solo or in small groups and dropped home. The trouble starts at 7 a.m. when a walker is ill or an owner swaps Tuesday for Thursday, and the rota is rebuilt by text. Key codes and dog quirks sit in walkers' phones, payments come weekly in odd amounts, and a new walker can end up with a dog that should never join a group. A walking business needs recurring bookings as the default, one shared daily rota, access notes only assigned walkers can see, and invoices made from completed walks.

What you can build for dog walking services

Recurring walks that owners can change for one week

Owners set their usual days once. They can skip or add a single day without rebuilding the schedule, holiday cover goes in as an exception, group walks cap at your maximum per walker, and a cancellation cutoff the evening before shows at booking.

Build a booking system for my dog walking service where owners book recurring weekly walks by weekday (group or solo), can skip or add single days, and book holiday cover as extra walks. Group walks are capped at 4 dogs per walker, and cancellations after 6 p.m. the day before are charged.

Tomorrow's rota published by evening

Each walker gets a daily route with dogs grouped by location, the van or car they are using, and cover moves in the app rather than by text. Walkers check it before they set off and always have the right key notes.

Create a daily rota app for my dog walking team. Each walker has a route for the day with dogs grouped by area and pickup times, an assigned car, and a sick-day button that lets me move their walks to another walker. Walkers open it on their phones.

Walk reports owners actually look forward to

At drop-off the walker fills a quick phone form: photo, pickup and drop-off times, whether the dog did its business, anything unusual. Owners see it in their account, with vet details and emergency contacts stored per dog.

Build an owner portal for my dog walking service. After each walk, the walker uploads a photo and a short note from their phone with pickup and drop-off time; the owner sees it in their account. Store vet details and emergency contacts per dog, and show key access notes only to the assigned walker.

Dog notes that keep groups safe

Owner, dog and access details on each record, behaviour notes like 'pulls on the lead' or 'reactive to other dogs', and a group-walk suitability flag set after the meet-and-greet and trial walk.

Make a CRM for a dog walking business with owners, dogs, address and access notes, behaviour notes, a group-walk suitable yes or no set after a trial walk, and new clients moving through enquiry, meet-and-greet, trial walk and regular.

One monthly bill from walks done

Total each client's completed walks for the month, add late cancellations, apply multi-dog discounts for one household, and send one invoice instead of chasing small weekly amounts.

Build invoicing for my dog walking service that totals each client's completed walks per month, adds late cancellation fees, applies a discount for a second dog in the same household, and creates one invoice per client.

A website that earns a house key

List the areas you cover by neighbourhood, solo and group walks with group size, your insurance and checks in plain words, how keys are stored and coded, and a meet-and-greet request form.

Build a website for my dog walking service with areas covered by neighbourhood, solo and group walk descriptions with maximum group size, walker profiles with photos, insurance and key storage explained, and a meet-and-greet request form.

Key access and privacy

Owners hand over their house keys. Keep codes and key notes on the client record, visible only to staff logins and the assigned walker, and never on a printed rota. Label physical keys with a code, not an address. Insurance and licensing requirements for walkers vary by area, so check the rules where you operate.

Access notes staff-only
Keys labelled with codes
No addresses on printed lists

From morning texts to one rota

Enter your regular clients and their days first, then build tomorrow's routes in the app and send walkers the link. For a week, keep texting changes as well, but make them in the app first. Once walkers trust it, the texts stop.

Questions

Can the booking system handle recurring walks every week?

Yes. Ask for recurring bookings by weekday, with the option to skip or add single days.

Can walkers post a photo after each walk?

Yes. The portal takes a photo upload and note from a phone browser, and the owner sees it in their account.

Can owners pay online?

Yes, through a payment provider you connect with your own account, such as Stripe. Monthly invoices can carry a pay link.

Can the rota replace our morning text messages?

Yes. A shared daily rota walkers open on their phones replaces most of that back and forth. On Pro it can also become Android and iPhone apps that open your published app.

Do I need to code?

No. You describe your walks and routes in chat and Mythex builds the apps.
