Researched and fact-checked by Bartu Cavusoglu · Updated October 26, 2026
DoTimely is software for service businesses that want scheduling, staff, customers and payments in one connected system. It began in the pet industry. The founder's story on the About page describes a friend's dog left unattended for two days because a pet sitter relied on pen, paper and a personal calendar.
Today the site lists many industries, including dog walking, pet sitting, lawn care, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, handyman work and professional cleaning. It is offered as web software with iOS and Android apps, and it starts with a free plan.
A business sets up customers, staff and services, then creates one-time or recurring appointments on a calendar. Customers can also request appointments themselves. The site says an average of 70% of appointment requests on its platform come from customers, and 87% for bigger businesses.
Requests can go to a preferred staff member or to all or selected staff, who accept or decline. Staff use the mobile apps for schedules, photos and GPS route tracking. Invoicing and payment collection then follow the schedule you set.
Scheduling features include drag-and-drop rescheduling, multiple calendar views, service time blocks and windows, push notifications, and sync with Google, iCal, Outlook or iPhone calendars. Packages, such as a bundle of 10 visits, are tracked automatically for usage and expiry, with reminder emails when a balance runs low.
Billing features include custom client pricing, discounts based on invoice amount or service frequency, and automatic surcharges for holidays, after hours, weekends and extra pets. Staff pay stubs, including tip distribution, are generated automatically. Clients can message by in-app chat, SMS or email, view invoices, pay and pick a language.
