Seamless Flow
From Booking to Billing
– It Just Works
Pet Manager simplifies walker scheduling and payments—ensuring your dog walking business runs like clockwork

-
Session Packs & Tokens Let clients pre-purchase walk packs (e.g., a 10-walk pass). Tokens are automatically tracked and deducted through the customer portal—no manual tallying required.
-
Streamlined Invoicing Send single-session or bulk invoices for a week or month’s worth of walks. If a client's card is on file via Stripe or Tyro, charge it automatically with just a click. Seamlessly sync it all to Xero.

Pet Manager has been an absolute game-changer for us, making our day-to-day operations so much … More more efficient. The time we previously spent on invoices alone makes it well worth it.
As a small business without much experience using software, it can feel a bit intimidating at first, but the resources available and the support team make it easy. Whenever we submit a ticket, the Pet Manager team responds quickly, explains everything clearly, and even acts on suggestions. Because we don’t have a very standard business model, the team has been incredible in helping us customise the system to fit our needs.
We couldn't recommend Pet Manager enough! -
Pet Manager is amazing! We took over a boarding cattery that was using a pen and paper booking … More system. We knew we needed to change that very quickly and I'm so happy I found Pet Manager. Ian walked me through the system and set up various aspects for me, while also pointing out settings I could customise later if I needed to. The Xero and Stripe integrations are brilliant and make life so much easier. Support has always been efficient. They've thought of everything with this software. I can't imagine boarding cattery life without it (actually I can, but the thought makes me hyperventilate). It's money well spent. Thank you, Ian and the team!

Ian and the Team at Pet Manager are next level, Ian went above and beyond making the transition … More to online booking easy especially for my wife running the Kennel. The software system is intuitive and very easy for my wife to use that is an animal lover not a techno lover, however she was impressed with the software system. The support to her setting up was amazing, cannot recommend the software or company high enough. Happy wife, happy life… thanks Ian.
Cloud Pioneers
Empowering Pet Professionals Since 2015
Born out of a real-world need in 2015 for a better pet business management solution, Pet Manager was created to be a comprehensive, user-friendly, and affordable system.
Our fundamental goal is to empower pet care professionals to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time doing what they love: caring for animals. We achieve this by offering a powerful, all-in-one platform backed by exceptional, locally-focused customer support and a commitment to developing features that our clients truly need.
Hear some reviews from our valued clients.
Online Portal
A Game-Changing Customer Portal
Powerful, easy-to-use, and always available—even when you are out on the trails.
- Online Bookings Clients can check real-time availability and book walks directly online based on the rules and lead days you set.
- Meet the Walker Show walkers in the customer portal so customers can see exactly which staff member is assigned to their dog's walk that day.
- Daily Wrap-Ups & Photos Share updates using Portal Posts. Email out photos and stories of the dogs out on their walks, which are also viewable through the portal, keeping clients engaged, connected, and delighted.
Confident Walks
Know Every Dog Like Your Own
Safety and personalized care are what keep your clients coming back. Pet Manager ensures you have all the critical details at your fingertips, so every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to the dog.
-
Comprehensive Pet Profiles Store essential details like breed, age, behavioral quirks, and favorite treats all in one easily accessible place.
-
Emergency & Vet Details Instantly access emergency contacts, authorized pickup lists, and primary veterinarian information with a single tap.
-
Custom Tags & Alerts Set up custom behavioral or medical alerts (e.g., "Leash Reactive" or "Allergic to Chicken") so your walkers are always informed and prepared before they clip on the leash.
Automate & Grow
Communication is Key
A powerful and automated communications system at your fingertips. Set it to work for you!
- Without reminders or clear instructions, clients may miss bookings or show up unprepared. Pet Manager allows you to send automated and manual email and SMS confirmations, walk reminders, walking session details and much more. Keep clients informed and cut down on no-shows.
- Past clients often slip away without any follow-up or re-engagement effort. Use Pet Manager’s Marketing tools to target specific client segments—like those who booked previously but haven’t booked a walk for a few months. Send personalized campaigns to bring them back.
Manage Cashflow
Level Up Your Payments
-
The facility was juggling EFTPOS receipts, online payments, and manual records—reconciling with Xero was a nightmare. With integrated Stripe and Tyro payments and seamless Xero sync, Pet Manager streamlined everything. Invoices, payments, and credits flowed automatically, saving hours each week.
-
Cancellations the day before a stay were costing the business hundreds each month, but they had no clear policy or way to track credits. Pet Manager let them charge non-refundable deposits and automatically issue credit notes when bookings were canceled. This reduced revenue loss and made policies easy to enforce.
-
A business was constantly chasing payments and struggling with manual reconciliation. Pet Manager’s integration with Stripe means clients can pay online at the time of booking - for all booking types. You can require upfront payment to reduce no-shows, and transactions are automatically recorded in the system. No more mistyped amounts, lost invoices, or chasing down overdue payments.
