For UK independent dog walkers and pet sitters
Hound-Up is the app designed and built for independent dog walkers and pet sitters — customer & dog records, live GPS walk tracking, AI-assisted booking import, and your own themed marketing and appointment booking website. No marketplace standing between you and your clients and no commission on what you earn.
Other platforms often want a cut of your bookings or charge high rates regardless of the scale of your operations. Hound-Up is built only for the independent walker who already has their own clients. It's designed to be simple to use, takes care of invoicing and nudging for you, and can offer your clients a way to book available slots based on your own schedule.
New — and it's actually yours
Clients can pick a service you've priced, book a walk or an overnight stay, or just ask a question first if they're not ready to commit. Appointment requests land straight in your app, ready to accept or decline into your schedule. Every Autopilot walker gets a real, personalised marketing/advertising website — not a profile buried on someone else's marketplace platform.
Straight from the app
See it in action
Start a walk and it sits on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — elapsed time, live distance, the route drawing itself in real time. One tap to Stop & Save, no need to even unlock your phone.
What's inside
A profile for every dog — breed, age, temperament, diet, medical notes flagged so nothing urgent gets missed — plus emergency contacts, vet details, and entry instructions like lockbox or alarm codes.
Optional, per walk — start one and it sits on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, live distance and elapsed time updating as the route draws itself.
A real, branded public page — clients pick a priced service, book a walk or an overnight stay with a proper date range, or ask a question if they're not sure yet.
Paste a client's WhatsApp message straight in — AI extracts who, when, and what's needed, matches the dog to your records, and fills in fuzzy dates automatically.
Recurring patterns or one-off ad-hoc bookings, house sits as a first-class booking type alongside walks, and a feed that pipes straight into Apple/Google Calendar.
Every completed walk rolls straight into a ledger, grouped by owner. Professional PDF invoices, sent by email or WhatsApp in one tap.
Free forever — every core workflow above: dogs, scheduling, walk/sit logging with live tracking, invoicing, ledger, card payments, manual send & nudge, plus up to 10 active clients. Sign in free (Apple ID, no email or password) and it's all backed up and synced across your devices too, with your choice of email and/or an instant push the moment a client pays.
Autopilot — £9.99/mo: unlimited clients, your own booking website with a live availability page, instant booking-request push alerts, and auto-chasing overdue invoices by itself, even with the app closed.
Getting paid
Every completed walk adds its line item to the client's ledger by itself.
At the end of the week or month, send every invoice at once via email or WhatsApp.
Clients get sent a link with your UK bank details, or you can use Stripe to send them an instant payment link* — no app to download.
Mark invoices paid as the money lands, and they're out of your day-to-day view.
*Stripe charges a small commission if you choose to use their service — it can make paying you easier and quicker for your clients. Hound-Up doesn't receive or charge anything for this integration, and once a client pays via Stripe, the invoice is automatically marked as paid.
Your booking page, your clients, your rates. Hound-Up never takes a cut of what you earn.
Offline-first by design — a dead zone on a countryside walk never costs you a note.
Sign in free with Apple to get started — then every dog, client and walk record works with zero signal, backing up the moment you're back in range.
Because it is one — built native, not a wrapped web app, with real light and dark mode.
