Get paid for every walk.
Automatically.
Two-thirds of UK small-business invoices are paid late¹. For a solo dog walker, that's £100–£300 a month quietly leaking out in missed walks, forgotten cancellations, and clients who fall off your billing. BearWalk catches every walk and bills it. Without you lifting a finger.
You're probably already losing money
Missed invoices. Late cancellations you don't charge for. Walks forgotten in a spreadsheet. It adds up to £100-£300 lost every month. And most walkers don't even realise it's happening.
Invoices that never arrive
QuickBooks glitches. Invoices silently fail. Clients slip through the cracks and you don't bill them for a whole month. If they even notice.
WhatsApp chaos
Client messages buried in group chats. Holiday requests lost in scroll. "Did Sarah say Tuesday or Thursday?" Sound familiar?
Spreadsheet scheduling
Copy-pasting the same walks every week. Manually checking who's on holiday. One wrong row and you're at the wrong house.
The awkward money chat
A client cancels 30 minutes before the walk. You've already driven there. Do you charge them? Nobody wants that conversation.
The real cost of “making do”
£1,200-£3,600 a year
That's what missed invoices and unenforced cancellations cost the average dog walker. Walks you did but never billed. Clients who cancelled last-minute and you let it slide. Months where someone fell off QuickBooks and you didn't notice.
BearWalk pays for itself in the first week.
When a client cancels too late,
you still get paid.
Other tools track walks. BearWalk enforces the policy you already agreed with the client. No follow-up text. No awkward invoice line. Just the fee, on the next bill, exactly as promised.

Late cancellation? Fee added.
BearWalk charges the agreed fee to the card on file via Stripe and adds it to the next invoice. You don't send the message. You don't have the conversation.

One system. Built for how
dog walkers actually work.
BearWalk isn't generic business software with a paw print slapped on it. Every feature was designed around the way independent UK dog walkers run their business.
All replaced by BearWalk. One login. One place. One monthly price.
Everything you need to run
your dog walking business
No stitching together five different apps. No feature you'll never use. Just the tools that matter.
Scheduling that runs itself
Set up recurring walks once. They populate your calendar forever. Group walks, capacity limits, morning/afternoon slots. Your whole week, organised.
Handles holidays, one-offs, and schedule changes automatically.
Invoices that actually get sent
Invoices generate from completed walks and send via Stripe. No manual data entry, no QuickBooks-style silent failures, no clients accidentally falling off your billing.
One click to send. Clients pay by card. Money in your account.
A portal your clients will love
Each client gets their own login. View upcoming walks, manage their dogs, book holidays, pay invoices, and message you. No app download needed.
Clients feel looked after. You look professional.
Messages without the mess
Threaded conversations per client. No more scrolling through WhatsApp groups trying to find that one message about Bella's medication.
Everything in one place. Nothing lost. Ever.
Group walks, sorted
Walk 3-6 dogs from different clients together. Capacity limits and compatibility checks built in. Each client invoiced at their own price.
Group walks are the norm. BearWalk treats them that way.
Know your numbers
See exactly what you've earned, what's outstanding, and what's projected this month. No more guessing, no more end-of-month surprises.
Revenue clarity that actually helps you grow.
Cancellation policy, enforced
Set your cancellation window and late-cancel fee. When a client cancels too late, the fee is applied automatically. No awkward conversations.
The policy was agreed when they signed up. BearWalk handles the rest.
Walk logs & photos
Record walk details, snap photos, share updates with clients through their portal. Parents love seeing their dog having a great time.
Build trust and stand out from other walkers.
