Pet sitting software for visits and house sits
Pet sitting is a business of details spread across other people’s homes: feeding routines, medication doses, the vet’s number, which cat hides where. Embercabin keeps every client’s pets, instructions and history in one place, and lets owners book drop-in visits or whole house-sitting stays online — with a deposit paid before you pencil anything in.
Multi-day sits are priced per day with the dates chosen by the owner, so a two-week booking arrives complete: dates, total, deposit, instructions.
Built for how this work actually runs
Drop-in visits and multi-day sits
Offer 30-minute drop-ins alongside per-day house sitting. Owners pick dates online and multi-day totals are calculated automatically.
Care instructions that travel with you
Feeding routines, medication, allergies, vet and emergency contacts live on each pet’s record — on your phone at the client’s kitchen bench, not in a notebook at home.
Deposits before you commit dates
A house-sit blocks your calendar for days. Take a deposit at booking so held dates are paid dates.
Every pet in the household
Clients register each dog and cat with its own record, so a three-pet household is three sets of instructions, not one crowded note.
Invoices and card payments
Collect the balance by card through Stripe, straight to your bank, or send an invoice for regulars on account. No more chasing bank transfers.
Confirmations and reminders, automatic
Owners get instant confirmation and reminders by email, so "are you still coming on the 14th?" answers itself.
How it works
A sit, start to finish
The owner books dates
They choose drop-ins or a house sit on your booking link, register their pets with care instructions, and pay the deposit.
You arrive prepared
Every visit shows the household’s pets, feeding and medication notes, and emergency contacts, right on your phone.
Wrap up and get paid
Take the balance by card or send an invoice. The household’s history is on file for the next trip they take.
Plans that grow only when you do.
Frequently asked
- Can owners book multi-day house sitting online?
- Yes. House sitting is a multi-day service priced per day: owners pick start and end dates on your booking page and the total is calculated automatically, with a deposit collected up front.
- Where do feeding and medication instructions live?
- On each pet’s record, along with allergies, the regular vet and an emergency contact. You see them on any visit for that household, on any device.
- Can one client have several pets?
- Yes. Each dog or cat gets its own record under the owner, so instructions never get tangled between animals in the same house.
- How do I get paid as a pet sitter?
- Card payments go through Stripe directly to your bank account — deposits at booking and balances after the sit — or you can send invoices for clients on account.
- Is it suitable for a solo pet sitter?
- Yes. The free plan covers online booking and records for a one-person business, and paid plans add payments and team features only when you need them.
