Pet sitters: book holiday pet sitting visits

When owners go on holiday, their cats, rabbits or dogs need visits every day, sometimes twice a day, for one or two weeks. Each holiday is a small schedule of its own. With Book, owners book a meet-and-greet on your own booking page, and you book all the holiday visits from your list, so every visit is planned and the owner sees them in their calendar.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. The visit slot includes travel within the area.

Before the holiday, meet the pet and the owner at home. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email: ask for the holiday dates, the pets and the address. Arrange keys, alarm codes and routines at the visit, not in the note, which appears in the owner's calendar file.

After the meet and greet, book each daily visit yourself from your bookings list, morning and evening if needed. First and last name are enough; with the owner's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each visit. Each slot sits within one day, so a two-week holiday is fourteen visits, or twenty-eight with two a day.

Create visit services per area so your rounds stay tight. Slots of different services can overlap, so plan your visits in the order you'll drive them.

Summer and Christmas fill up early. You create every slot, so cap the number of visits you take per day by only creating that many. Say in the description how far ahead owners should get in touch.

Book doesn't send updates or photos. Message owners yourself after visits, as you agree at the meet and greet.

If owners change their dates, move the visits from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so confirm with them yourself.

Book doesn't take payments or deposits, store pet care notes, send updates or reminders. Owners can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other sitters, create services per sitter. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
