On this call, we’ll talk through your pet care services, schedule, and goals — and map out what a realistic launch system looks like for your business.
Why pet sitters, walkers, and groomers get stuck in “DM chaos”
Most pet care businesses don’t struggle with demand. They struggle with staying organized — especially once repeat clients, keys, schedules, and special instructions pile up.
- Booking happens in texts and DMs, so it’s easy to miss or double-book requests.
- Pet details, vet info, and instructions are scattered across notes and apps.
- Payments are late, unclear, or mixed between cash, apps, and checks.
- There’s no simple system to track regular clients, visits, and upcoming trips.
What we set up for pet care businesses
Franchise Free gives you a simple, pet-friendly business system — so you can focus on care, not spreadsheets and screenshots.
- A clear website that explains who you serve, what you offer, and where you operate.
- Online booking for walks, visits, grooming, and boarding requests.
- Payment flows that match how you want to charge: per visit, per package, or per stay.
- A basic CRM with pet profiles, vet info, and key instructions in one place.
- Automated confirmations and reminders so no one forgets a visit or appointment.

- Upsell prompts during booking for appropriate add-ons
Common questions from pet care owners
Can this work if I’m listed on Rover or similar apps?
Yes. Many pet care pros use third-party platforms at first. We help you build your own independent system so you’re not dependent on someone else’s rules and fees long-term.
What about liability, keys, and client trust?
We can’t replace insurance or legal advice, but we can help you present your policies, processes, and expectations clearly on your site and in your booking flow so clients feel safer choosing you.
Can I manage multiple sitters or walkers?
Yes. If you’re planning to grow into a small team, we’ll design your tools and workflows with that in mind so you don’t have to overhaul everything later.
