# Your dog walking business. In your pocket.

Most dog walking software is built for companies with staff and a rota. Woodle is the dog walking app for the person who actually walks the dogs – plan your rounds, keep every dog on file and invoice from your phone.

## A day with Woodle in 30 seconds

Today’s walks, emergency info, a walk report and the invoice at night – this is what it looks like in the app.

## The walks are the easy part

Nobody started a dog walking business because they wanted to do admin. But the admin is what eats the evenings.

**Without Woodle**

- **—** A notes app for schedules, a spreadsheet for money, and your memory for which dog hates the postman.
- **—** The last Sunday of the month goes on invoices, counting back through the calendar to work out who owed what.
- **—** A walk gets missed off an invoice. You only notice months later, if at all.
- **—** A client asks when Bella was last out. You scroll back through a chat thread to find out.

**With Woodle**

- **✓** One weekly pattern per dog. The calendar fills itself for the month ahead.
- **✓** The walks are already in your schedule, so the invoice is written when the month ends.
- **✓** Every walk is counted once, and marked as billed once. Nothing goes out twice, nothing gets missed.
- **✓** Each dog has a page: vet, key safe, allergies, who to ring. Available in the woods with no signal.

**A look inside**

**What it does**

## Everything a one-person dog walking business needs

And nothing built for dispatchers, staff rotas or a head office.

### Rounds that plan themselves

Give a dog its weekly pattern – Tuesday and Thursday at eleven – and the month fills in. Change one week without touching the rest.

### A file for every dog

Vet, microchip, key safe code, the lead that works, the dog it cannot meet. Stored on the phone, so it is there when the signal is not.

### Invoices from the walks you did

Woodle counts the walks per client, applies your rates and produces a PDF. One tap, ready to send – and a reminder is one more tap if it is overdue.

### Walk reports clients actually read

A photo and a line after the walk. It is the cheapest loyalty there is – and it saves the evening messages asking how it went.

### New clients fill in their own details

A request form for your website, as a link or as a QR code on your flyers. Whoever you invite enters the dog, the vet and an emergency contact and confirms your service agreement. You approve it before it lands in your books.

### A portal for your clients

Owners log in to see their walk reports, invoices and documents. Fewer messages for you, a more professional look for your business.

**Online payments**

## Get paid without chasing anyone

Add a "Pay online" button to any invoice. Your client pays by card, and the money lands directly in your own bank account through Stripe – Woodle never holds it.

- **✓** Paid straight into your own Stripe-connected bank account
- **✓** 1% per card payment – bank transfer stays free
- **✓** The invoice marks itself paid the moment the client pays

**Training**

## Walks and training in one app

Plenty of dog walkers also run one-to-one training. In Woodle you mark a service as training, sell packages like “5 sessions”, and bill both on the same invoice.

[**Adding training to your dog walking business →**](https://woodle-app.com/guides/adding-dog-training-to-dog-walking)

- **✓** Sell training packages up front – Woodle keeps count of the sessions left
- **✓** Training is always billed on top, even for clients on a monthly walking rate
- **✓** A training report after every session: what you practised and the homework

## Questions people ask

<details>

<summary>Is the free month really free?+</summary>



Yes. A full month with everything in it, and no card details needed to start. If you stop there, nothing is charged.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I already have clients in a spreadsheet. Can I bring them?+</summary>



You can add clients and dogs yourself, or send a client a link and let them fill in their own details – dog, vet, emergency contact. You approve what comes back before it lands in your books.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does it work without a signal?+</summary>



Woodle keeps the last loaded state on your phone – dogs, owners with their emergency contacts and your next seven days – so you can look up a vet or a key safe code in the middle of a wood. To change something, you need a signal again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I use Woodle on my computer?+</summary>



Yes. Woodle also runs in the browser – same account, same data as on your phone. Handy for doing the invoices at a desk and the walks with your phone.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is Woodle a marketplace? Will it find me clients?+</summary>



No, and that is deliberate. Rover and similar platforms bring you clients and take a commission on every booking. Woodle assumes the clients are yours and does not take a cut of what you charge them – the one exception is the optional "pay online" button, where a 1% fee covers card processing. Paid by bank transfer instead, and it is exactly 0%.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens to my data if I stop paying?+</summary>



Nothing is deleted. You keep read access to your clients, dogs and invoices and can export them – you just cannot add or change anything until you subscribe again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How is Woodle different from PawLoop?+</summary>



Mainly price and online payments: Woodle is €15 a month with everything included and real online card payments, PawLoop's comparable "Solo" plan is £18 a month and does not currently support online payment collection. See the full comparison on the Woodle vs. PawLoop page.

<a href="https://woodle-app.com/pawloop-alternative">**Read the Woodle vs. PawLoop comparison → **</a></details>



<details>

<summary>Can I bill dog training with Woodle too?+</summary>



Yes. Mark a service as training and, if you like, sell packages such as 5 one-to-one sessions. The package appears once on the invoice and Woodle keeps count of the sessions left. Group classes with attendee lists are deliberately not part of Woodle.
