Booking a round of visits
by text is a full-time job
Pet sitting bookings are fiddly, different homes, different times, some twice a day, all arranged by message.
-
01
The round you assemble from scraps. Six homes, each wanting different times, all confirmed across a tangle of texts you have to re-read to be sure.
-
02
The once-a-day or twice-a-day muddle. “Morning and evening, but just mornings at the weekend”, agreed over messages, easy to get wrong, costly when you do.
-
03
The booking that slips. A holiday request comes in late, you reply the next day, and they’ve booked the sitter who answered first.
A real booking system takes the requests cleanly, with times and addresses attached.
So your round builds itself. Built around you, the pet sitter.
Requested, scheduled, sorted
How a booking actually works
This is what taking a sitting booking looks like when your page does the work.
-
Step one
They pick the visit type.
Drop-in visits or a house sit, once a day or twice, straight on your page.
-
Step two
They choose their times and dates.
Exactly when they need you, across the days they’re away.
-
Step three
They request, you approve.
It lands in one place with the home and pets attached, so you can fit it into your round.
-
Step four
It’s confirmed, access and all.
They get confirmation, you get the visits on your schedule with the access details ready for the day.
That’s the booking. A round that builds itself, no message archaeology.
Requests in while you’re on your round
Your own booking page, taking requests all day
You’re between homes, you can’t stop to negotiate a week of visits by text. Your booking page handles it. Share one link and clients request their visits or a house sit whenever it suits them, choosing the times they need, for the services you offer. You come off your round to tidy requests with dates, times and addresses already attached, not a backlog of half-finished threads to untangle.
The round that builds itself
Visit times and house sits, scheduled cleanly
Sitting bookings are all about the detail, the right times, the right days, the right home. Barclo takes that detail at the point of booking instead of leaving you to reconstruct it from messages.
Clients pick single or twice-daily visits, or a house sit across a date range, and it drops onto your schedule in order, with the address and the pets attached. When the day comes, the home’s access notes are right there with the visit. Cover sitter stepping in? They get the same clean schedule you would. The fiddly logistics, handled before the round even starts.
For the full sitting picture, visit proof, key and access management, invoicing, see the pet sitting software.
Everything your booking needs
Built for how sitters really take bookings
Six things that turn the messaging marathon into a single tidy flow.
House-sit dates
Date-range bookings for staying over
House sits across the dates they’re away, pets stay in their own home, you get the full picture upfront.
Recurring visits
A regular pattern, set once
Set a regular pattern once, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and it keeps booking in.
Approve every booking
You stay in control of your round
Every booking lands as a request you approve, so the round stays yours to shape.
Details attached
Address, pets and access, ready
The address, pets and access notes live on the client’s record, right there when you open the booking, ready when you arrive.
One schedule
Your whole round, in order
Every visit and house sit, on a single schedule in order, not scattered across DMs, texts and a paper diary.
