Dog walkers and pet sitters usually have regular clients who pay weekly or monthly, often by bank transfer when they remember. A simple way to send a request after each walk or stay helps them get paid on time.

Request payment after each visit
A payment link sent after the walk lets the owner pay in a moment from wherever they are. The walker sees who has paid without checking their bank each day.

Take deposits for busy holidays
Pet sitting gets booked up over holidays. A deposit link secures the booking and means the sitter is not left out of pocket when plans change.
Grow in the park
Dog walkers meet each other every day in the same parks. A walker who is happy with your app will tell the others they meet.
