What is Walkies?

Walkies is pet sitter and dog walking software made by SwiftLab Ltd. It brings GPS walk tracking, appointments, client messaging, invoicing and online payments into one account that runs on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web. Clients use a free companion app, the Walkies Journal app, to follow visits and receive reports. The site also lists drop-ins, boarding and daycare.

Founder Rob started Walkies in 2018 after wondering what his family's Dalmatians did with their dog walker. He says he built it by listening to pet sitters, and the product has grown from a simple walk report into software for pet care businesses of every size, including those caring for cats, birds, rabbits and reptiles. The site says more than 4,000 pet pros use it.

How does Walkies work?

A sitter or walker starts a visit in the app and Walkies records the route live, with distance and markers for pees and poops. Reports with photos, and videos on paid plans, go to the owner after the visit. Owners can follow along in real time, and walks keep tracking offline when there is no signal. Apple Watch and CarPlay apps are also available.

Behind the visits sits the business side. Appointments and online booking live in a calendar, clients and pets have profiles with vaccinations and contracts, and invoices can be sent and paid online through Walkies Pay. Team members can be added on Pro and Max, with roles, pay rates and payroll. One account keeps schedule, clients and invoices in sync across devices.

Key features of Walkies

Service features cover GPS walk tracking, pet sitting, grooming, training, pet taxi trips, and weather and walk safety alerts. Reports and shareable report cards go to owners, and messaging includes an inbox, bulletins and automatic notifications. Widgets and Live Activities put visit information on the iPhone Home Screen and Dynamic Island. The site also lists memorial pages for pets who have passed.

The Walkies Assistant lets owners ask questions about their business and is listed on the Max plan. Walkies Pack is a forum for Walkies pet sitters. Calendar sync is included on every plan.
