Pack Planner Pro is built for operators who want proper planning and admin control without another monthly platform sitting between them and their data.
You need one place to plan walks, track client details, and send invoices without paying per user or learning an overbuilt system.
You want to assign dogs, manage staff schedules, and keep business records tidy without another subscription increasing as you grow.
You need planning, records, and invoicing that work for real pet care services, not a generic booking app built for someone else.
The setup is simple on purpose. Pack Planner Pro is built to move dog walkers and pet care teams out of spreadsheet mode and into one working weekly app fast.
Pay once and get Pack Planner Pro for £79 during the launch period. No subscription starts running in the background after checkout, and no upgrade tier appears later.
Set it up on your Windows PC and keep your planner, client records, and admin locally. No cloud account, no browser tabs, and no waiting on an internet connection to do the work.
Plan walks, assign staff, keep dog and client records up to date, and send invoices from one desktop app that stays yours.
Most dog walking software charges £10 to £50 every month. After two years you have paid £240 to £1,200 and you own nothing. The moment you stop paying, it is gone.
Cloud-based apps hold your client records, schedules, and income data on servers you do not control. No internet, no access to your own business.

Full profiles for every dog. Vet contacts, vaccination records, household pricing and owner details.
Create and track behaviour or training packages. Schedule sessions straight from the planner.
Generate and send professional invoices by email. Track paid and overdue at a glance.
Add walkers, assign dogs, manage holidays and send weekly schedules.
Monthly income summaries, walk counts, and CSV exports. Know your numbers.
Export your walk schedule as an ICS file and open it in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Your week on any device, no cloud account required.
Send your walkers their weekly schedule by email in one click. Send clients a monthly summary of upcoming walks: professional, clear and done in seconds.
Finding quality, affordable desktop software for a dog walking and behaviour business was harder than it should have been.
Every option on the market was either cloud-based with a monthly subscription, too generic to handle the specifics of dog walking and behaviour consults, or priced in a way that made no sense for a small professional business.
Pack Planner Pro was built to fill that gap. Desktop software you can sit down with at the end of the day, plan your week properly on a full screen, manage your behaviour consult packages, and know exactly where you are with every client.
One-time purchase. No subscription. Built by a working dog walking and behaviour business in the UK.
Pack Planner Pro was built first and foremost for dog walkers and dog trainers running behaviour consults. It also works for mobile groomers, pet pop-in services, and any mixed pet care business that needs a proper system without a monthly bill.
Running your rounds on your own? Pack Planner Pro keeps your schedule, client records, and invoices organised in one place, so you can focus on the dogs, not the admin. Export your schedule to any calendar and send clients their monthly summary in seconds.
Manage behaviour consult packages, track session progress, and schedule appointments straight from the planner. Purpose-built for trainers who need more than a booking form.
Add staff, assign dogs, manage walker holidays and send weekly schedules. Pack Planner Pro scales with you from 1 walker to a full team without the subscription bill growing with it. Email your walkers their weekly schedule and export everything to your calendar of choice without leaving the app.
Still managing bookings and client records through Facebook Messenger and spreadsheets? Pack Planner Pro gives you a proper business system. Yours to own, not rent.
Keep your client records, appointments, and invoicing in one place. Pack Planner Pro works just as well for mobile grooming rounds as it does for dog walking.
Running pop-in visits alongside walks or other services? Manage all your clients and appointments from one screen, without paying for a separate tool.
Whether you walk dogs five days a week, run behaviour consults, or offer a mix of services, Pack Planner Pro handles it all from one screen. Mobile groomers and pet pop-in services are welcome too.
See every walk at a glance. Drag to reschedule, block holidays, and track pending jobs. All from one screen.

Live figures from Jennie's Positive Paws, a working UK dog walking and behaviour business running on Pack Planner Pro daily
I run a dog walking and behaviour business and I built Pack Planner Pro because I could not find desktop software that did what I needed at a price that made sense.
I wanted to plan my walks on a proper screen, track my behaviour consult packages across multiple sessions, and keep every client record in one place. Every subscription tool I tried was either too expensive or not built for how a real pet care business works.
Pack Planner Pro is what I use every day. It handles my walks, my consult packages, my dog records and my staff schedule without a monthly bill attached."
