• Find them. Open the link your walker, groomer or boarder sent you, or search business listings by service and distance. A green Verified badge means our team has checked a document.

• Keep them handy. Book with someone, or tap Save to my dashboard, and they're one tap away next time.

• Add your pets. Breed, age, special needs, your vet. No rush — you can do it after booking. Shared once a booking is confirmed.

• Add your postcode in your profile so we can work out who's near you. Only the area — like "M20" — is ever public.

• Book. Send a request from their availability, or ask for a time they haven't listed. You get an email either way.

• Stay in the loop. Message them any time, get a reminder the day before, and a write-up afterwards — often with a photo.

• Sync to calendar. Subscribe once and bookings appear and disappear on their own.

• Pay your way. Cash, bank transfer, or by card through the site.

A walker, groomer, sitter or trainer working on your own. You get the whole platform:

• Your profile. Bio, photo, services, animals you cover, Facebook and TikTok. Add your postcode — clients search by distance, so without one you won't appear at all.

• Invite your existing clients. You get a short link — mypetcare.pro/b/your-name — and can email up to 25 clients at a time from your profile edit page. You're in business listings too, for people looking for someone new.

• Add them yourself. Reserve books someone in from just an email address; Accounts → Create adds a client with no booking yet. Either way we set up their account and email them to finish it off.

• Credentials. Upload insurance, DBS checks and qualifications. We review them; verified ones get a green badge. Documents stay private.

• Availability. Bookings holds your diary. A slot is one-off or repeats weekly for up to four months, with each date its own so you can cancel one without touching the rest. Group walks take several clients; single walks and home visits are one-to-one.

• The calendar. A month view with a coloured line on each day for what's on — tap a day to open it hour by hour. Subscribe your phone's calendar and it keeps itself up to date.

• Boarding. List each kennel or pen with a nightly price, plus your drop-off address and times. Clients only see pens genuinely free for their dates, so you can't be double-booked.

• Handling bookings. Accept or decline in a tap and the client is told automatically; their contact details unlock once you confirm. Cancelling a walk cancels and emails everyone on it, and tells you who's already paid.

• Manage your accounts. Accounts is your client book and your ledger: everyone you deal with, ordered by who's outstanding, a statement per client, and Mark paid when the money lands. It also shows people who've saved you but not booked yet.

• After the job. Mark it complete and send the owner an update, with a photo if you like — one update covers a whole group walk. Invoices are there when you need them.

• Getting paid. Cash or bank transfer costs you nothing and doesn't involve us. Or set up payouts and we'll send a secure card link — card processing plus a 2% platform fee comes out of that payment.

Everything a Solo-Trader gets — profile, availability, bookings, boarding, messaging, credentials, accounts, payments and invoices — plus your team. It isn't a premium version; the only difference is staff.

• Invite staff by email in Manage Staff. They set their own password and work from the same diary, bookings and inbox as you.

• Assign who's covering each walk or stay and they're emailed automatically. Clients only ever see your business.

• No per-person charge, however many you add.

• If someone leaves, removing them hands back anything they were covering and turns their login into an ordinary Solo-Trader account. Their account stays theirs.
