Dog walking software that runs your whole route
Pupline is dog walking software for solo walkers, the kind where you set a Tuesday-and-Thursday walk once and it repeats forever, your day opens as an ordered route grouped by address, and a photo from the park reaches the owner before you've made it to the next house.
It's all on your phone, built for one hand on a busy sidewalk, at one flat price with every feature included: recurring scheduling, a tap-to-navigate daily route, client and pet records, the Vault for the dozen gate codes you're juggling, photo and video report cards, and invoicing. No per-client fees, and no commission on your walks.
How to choose dog walking software: what actually matters
Two questions cut through the feature lists: are you solo or building a team, and do your clients genuinely need a live GPS map? A solo walker is best served by a flat-price all-in-one like Pupline Pro at $12.99/mo; a small staffed round can move up to Pupline's seat-based Facilities plan, and only a large operation that needs employee GPS dispatch and payroll really needs a dedicated team platform.
On GPS: it sounds compelling, but most apps draw the route after the walk rather than streaming it live, and what owners actually want is proof it happened, a photo from the park and a reliable daily route. Then weigh the real cost (sticker price plus any per-seat fees plus payment processing) and whether owners have to install an app. A flat, phone-first, no-login tool wins on all three for a solo round.
What dog walking software should cost
Team walking platforms price per walker, which adds up fast once you're more than one. Pupline is one flat $12.99/mo (about $10.40 on annual billing) with every feature: recurring schedules, a tap-to-navigate daily route grouped by address, client and pet records, the Vault, photo and video report cards and invoicing, with no per-client fee as your round grows.
There's a 30-day free trial with no card, and Pupline takes 0% of what clients pay you, no commission like a marketplace, and no cut of a booking. Compared with handing 20–40% to a gig app, a flat subscription you keep everything above looks very different over a year.
Dog walking is a fragmented, mostly-solo trade
Dog walking is one of the most fragmented service industries there is. IBISWorld pegs the US dog-walking sector at roughly $1.3 billion in 2025 across tens of thousands of businesses, with no single company holding more than about 5% of the market, in other words, it's overwhelmingly independent walkers and tiny outfits, not big chains.
Pupline is built for that reality: one walker, a phone, a full round of recurring clients, and a tool that turns the day into an ordered route and a set of photo updates without a back office. If you do grow a small team, the seat-based Facilities plan is there; the walking core stays the same.
Pupline vs Time To Pet for a solo dog walker
Most dog walking software is team software — per-walker seats, staff GPS tracking and a dispatch back office. Pupline is dog walking software for the solo walker: recurring walks, a one-tap daily route, photo proof and invoicing at one flat $12.99/mo, with no per-seat fees. Here's how it lines up against Time To Pet.
| Pupline | Time To Pet | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Solo walkers | Teams with staff |
| Starting price | Flat $12.99/mo | $25/mo (Lite) |
| Solo plan | $12.99/mo, everything | ~$50/mo |
| Per-seat / staff fees | None | + ~$16/active user |
| Client account / portal | No login | Client portal/app |
| Free trial | 30 days, no card | Free trial |

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dog walking software for a solo walker?
The best dog walking software for a solo walker nails recurring schedules and a tight daily route, sends owners photo proof, and handles invoicing, all from your phone, at a flat price. Pupline does exactly that, with every feature included for one monthly price and no per-client fees, so the cost doesn't climb as your round grows.
Does Pupline track walks with GPS?
Pupline focuses on a tap-to-navigate daily route and photo and video report cards that prove the walk happened, rather than a live GPS breadcrumb map. For most owners, a great photo from the park is the reassurance they want. If a real-time, watch-along GPS map is essential for your clients, choose a tool that advertises route tracking specifically.
How much does dog walking software cost?
Team-oriented walking apps price per walker, so the cost grows with your round; marketplaces instead take a commission of 20–40% of every booking. Pupline is a flat $12.99/mo with every feature and 0% commission, plus a 30-day free trial with no card, so what you charge is what you keep.
Can Pupline handle a small team of walkers?
Yes. Pupline Pro is built for a solo walker at $12.99/mo; when you add walkers, Pupline Facilities offers team seats ($49.98/mo including three, then $6 per extra seat). If you're scaling into a large agency that needs employee GPS dispatch and payroll, a dedicated team platform will suit better, Pupline is strongest for the solo and small-team walker.
Is there free dog walking software?
Free tiers exist but are usually capped, and some 'free' apps take a cut of payments or charge per invoice. Pupline offers the full product free for 30 days with no card, then one flat price with no per-client fees, a real trial of the whole thing rather than a limited freebie.
Do my dog-walking clients need to download an app?
No. Owners get a private link when there's something to do, book a walk, view a photo report card, read an invoice, with no account and no app to install. That no-login flow gets far better follow-through than asking every client to register.
