The majority of dog walking apps are designed for businesses with teams, multiple walkers, and admin dashboards. As a sole trader, you end up paying for features you will never use — and still getting charged monthly for the privilege.
Multi-walker dashboards, team permissions, manager views. You are one person. You need a planner, dog records, and invoicing — not an enterprise platform priced in per-user tiers.
Paying £25 to £50 a month for software is a significant cost when you are running a one-person business. Over a year that is £300 to £600 — for software you will never own outright.
Complex onboarding, integrations you will never use, settings that assume you have a business manager. You just want to plan your week and keep your client records tidy.
Pack Planner Pro was built by Jennie — a sole trader dog walker who could not find software that worked the way a one-person business actually works. No team logins, no admin hierarchy, no bloat. Just a proper planner, your dogs, your clients, and your invoices — all in one place.
No team configuration, no permission levels, no onboarding process designed for a business manager. Open it, add your dogs, and you are ready to plan your week.
£79 once. Not £25 a month. Not £50 a month. One payment, and the software is yours to use indefinitely. No direct debit to manage, no renewal to remember.
Mobile apps are fine for checking things on the go. But serious weekly planning — assigning dogs, blocking days, checking income — is better done sitting down with a proper screen. Pack Planner Pro is built for that.
If you take on a member of staff later, Pack Planner Pro handles that too — staff management, holiday tracking, and emailing weekly schedules — all included in the same one-time price. No upgrade required.
Pack Planner Pro gives you the tools that make a real difference to a one-person dog walking business — without the complexity, the team features, or the monthly bill.
See your whole week at a glance. Schedule walks, block holidays, track pending jobs, and assign dogs to walkers. Your entire week under control from one screen.
Every dog, every client, every detail. Vaccination records, vet contacts, behavioural notes, household pricing, emergency contacts. All searchable, all in one place.
Create invoices, track what is paid and what is outstanding, and see your income at a glance. No accountancy software required for the basics of running a dog walking business.
Add walkers, assign dogs, manage holidays and track time off. Send each walker their weekly schedule by email in one click. No per-user fees, no add-ons — included in the one-time price.
Export your walk schedule as an ICS file and open it in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Your schedule stays visible on any device without any cloud dependency.
Track session packages across multiple appointments. Perfect if you run behaviour consults alongside walks — or as your primary service. Each package keeps its own progress log.
Jennie runs Jennie's Positive Paws — a sole trader dog walking and behaviour business in the UK. Every day she manages 12 dogs, plans 25+ weekly walks, and tracks a full book of behaviour consult packages.
Every subscription tool she tried was either built for teams she didn't have, priced for businesses bigger than hers, or simply not designed around the realities of running a one-person pet care business. So she built Pack Planner Pro.
It is the software she uses every single day. The decisions it makes — no account, no cloud, full screen planning, one-time price — were made by a sole trader, for sole traders.
Subscription apps charge you monthly and lock features behind tiers. Pack Planner Pro charges once and gives you everything — permanently.
