Dog Walker & Pet Sitter

Manage bookings, send walk updates with photos, and handle recurring schedules — all from WhatsApp.

Pet care is built on trust. People are handing you the keys to their home and their furry family member. They want to know their dog is happy, safe, and getting the attention they were promised. But when you’re walking six dogs a day and doing weekend pet sits, the business side stacks up fast.

A potential client texts while you’re at the dog park with three leashed pups in hand. You can’t exactly stop to type a detailed response. By the time you get home, they’ve already found someone else on the neighborhood app. That’s $400 a month in recurring walks gone because you couldn’t reply in time.

Between booking, recurring schedules, photo updates, key management, and payment collection, pet care has more moving parts than people think. Nalo handles the admin through WhatsApp — new clients get instant responses, schedules stay organized, and pet parents get the updates and photos they crave without you stopping mid-walk to type.

The challenges you face

event_repeat

Managing recurring schedules

Monday-Wednesday-Friday walks, holiday pet sitting, vacation coverage — tracking who needs what and when is a juggling act.

photo_camera

Clients want photo updates

Pet parents expect pictures and updates during every walk or stay. Sending them to 15 clients a day is time-consuming.

payments

Inconsistent payments

Some clients pay weekly, others monthly. Chasing down late payments from people you see every day is uncomfortable.
