Dog walking software that fills your week
A walking round only makes money when it is full and paid for. Embercabin lets owners book solo or group walks online against your real availability, caps each group at the number you can safely hold, and takes payment by card — so the week plans itself and nobody owes you for last month.
Each dog’s temperament, recall notes and vet details are on its record, so a cover walker can take your Tuesday round without a phone call.
Built for how this work actually runs
Solo and group walks, capacity-capped
A group walk is a service with a capacity — six dogs means six bookings and then it is full. Solo walks and different durations sit alongside as their own services.
A week that books itself
Owners book against your live availability from a shareable link. No text-message tennis to fill Thursday morning.
Prepaid walk packages
Sell blocks of walks up front. Each booking draws down the package, so regulars stay committed and your cash flow stops depending on end-of-month invoices.
Dog records a cover walker can use
Temperament, play group, vet and emergency contact are on every dog’s record. Anyone covering your round sees exactly what you would know.
Card payments, no chasing
Payments go by card through Stripe straight to your bank. Invoices are there for clients who prefer a monthly account.
Reminders that keep rounds tight
Automatic confirmations and email reminders mean owners remember the walk — and remember to leave the key out.
How it works
From enquiry to full round
Share your booking link
Owners register their dogs and book solo or group walks against your real availability, with group sizes capped automatically.
Walk the round
The day’s walks, dogs and notes are on your phone. Temperament flags and emergency contacts are one tap away.
Paid without asking
Walks are paid by card or drawn from a prepaid package. Month-end chasing disappears.
Plans that grow only when you do.
Frequently asked
- Can I cap the size of group walks?
- Yes. Each walk type is a service with its own capacity — set a group walk to six dogs and booking closes automatically when it is full.
- Can clients buy a block of walks in advance?
- Yes. Prepaid packages let owners buy, say, ten walks up front, and each booking draws down the package automatically.
- How do I keep notes on each dog?
- Every dog has a record with temperament, play group, vet and emergency contacts, plus free-form notes — available to you or any staff member on any device.
- How do payments work for dog walkers?
- Owners pay by card through Stripe and the money goes directly to your bank account. You can also send invoices for clients who settle monthly.
- Is there a free plan for a solo dog walker?
- Yes. Start free with online booking and records, no card required, and upgrade only if you need card payments, packages or extra staff.
