🐕 KeepsYa for Dog Walking
You help your Dogs thrive. KeepsYa helps you win.
Registration, payments, walks, rosters and check-in, built around how Dog Walking actually runs.
Routes, recurring walks and owners who want to know their dog is covered. KeepsYa keeps the bookings, the payments and the schedules organized so you can stay on the leash, not the laptop.
Run your whole Dog Walking program, free
The free plan is the real thing, not a trial. Everything you need to take dog sign-ups and run the day:
- Take Walks and Walks & Services sign-ups with waitlists, deposits and waivers, nothing left on a paper clipboard.
- Family accounts and guest checkout, so owners register their dogs in a couple of taps.
- Live rosters, QR check-in and attendance for every walk.
- Track payments with automatic reminders, add coupons, and reward word-of-mouth with family referrals.
- Grow revenue with early-bird pricing and an automatic multi-attendee discount, sell day passes for multi-day walks, and let walk-ups sign themselves up from a QR code.
Turn Dog Walking bookings into a business with Pro
When you are ready to grow, Pro adds everything that turns bookings into revenue:
- Sell walks up front with punch cards and packages, your cash in advance.
- Memberships with auto-renew for your regular dogs.
- Turn happy owners into a paid channel with affiliate commissions.
- Multi-walker payout splits, no-show follow-up, and priority support.
Money is easy to keep track of
Every payment, method, and balance in one place, cash, Venmo, Zelle and cards alike, with revenue reporting and CSV export. Accept payment right at booking, see at a glance who has and has not paid, and manage credits and refunds without a spreadsheet. Add KeepsYa Payments for instant card checkout (about a 1% platform fee on top of your processor’s rate) whenever you want the money to land the moment a dog signs up.
Built for you and for your Owners
Clean rosters for every walk, a clear view of who has paid, and one-tap QR check-in. Less time on spreadsheets, more on dog walking.
One simple link to sign up dogs, pay, and get reminders. No accounts to wrestle with, no missed walks.

Dog Walking FAQ
Does KeepsYa work for Dog Walking?
Yes. KeepsYa is built for Dog Walking: Walks, Walks & Services, rosters, dog sign-ups, waivers and payments all use Dog Walking language out of the box.
Is KeepsYa really free for Dog Walking registration?
Yes. The free plan runs your whole dog walking program: sign-ups, waitlists, deposits, rosters, QR check-in and payment tracking, with no per-registration fees, ever. KeepsYa Pro adds prepaid passes, referrals and affiliates when you are ready to grow.
How do owners register more than one dog for dog walking?
Each family saves its dogs once, then registers multiple in a single checkout, with no re-typing details every season. Guest checkout works too, so no account is required.
Can I collect a deposit now and the balance later?
Yes. Set a deposit per walk and KeepsYa tracks the remaining balance, sends automatic payment reminders, and shows you exactly who still owes.
What payment methods can dog walking families use?
Cash, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal and check are built in and tracked at no extra cost. Add real-time card checkout whenever you want the money to land the moment someone signs up.
How do I take attendance and check dogs in?
Open the walk roster and scan each dog’s QR code, or let an assistant check dogs in with a personal PIN. Multi-day walks support per-day check-in.
Can I run a waitlist when a walk fills up?
Yes. Set a capacity, turn on the waitlist, and extra families wait for an opening, then get promoted automatically when a spot frees up.
Does KeepsYa work alongside The Events Calendar?
Yes. KeepsYa adds registration, payments, rosters and check-in to an existing The Events Calendar setup without changing your calendar. KeepsYa is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Events Calendar.
Can a family reschedule, cancel, or get a refund?
Yes. Families can reschedule or request a cancellation themselves, and you decide credit, forfeit, or refund. KeepsYa keeps the money and the roster in sync automatically.
Who owns the dog walking registration data?
You do. Everything lives in your own WordPress database, you can export rosters and payments to CSV anytime, and KeepsYa cannot lock you in or break your site.
How much does Dog Walking registration software cost?
KeepsYa is free forever for the full program. KeepsYa Pro is founders-priced at $149/year (or $24/month) with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a $399 lifetime plan is limited to the first 100 buyers. You only ever pay your own payment processor.
