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, live walk tracking the owner can follow on a map while it happens, 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: check whether a tool draws the route after the walk or shares it live. Pupline shares a live map the owner can watch during the walk, one walk at a time, and saves the finished route as proof, alongside the 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 | Link, or optional | 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?
Yes, when you choose to share. Start a walk and the owner gets a link to a live map they can watch while it happens, with nothing to install. The link is revoked the moment you finish the visit, so it proves you turned up rather than letting anyone follow you all day, and the finished route is saved against the visit alongside the photo and video report cards. One honest limit: your browser pauses location while the phone screen is locked, so a route can show a gap unless you keep the screen on.
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. If an owner wants their whole history in one place you can invite them to a free client account, but it is optional. Not making every client register gets far better follow-through.
