In order

  1. 1Service areas: the suburbs you cover, and charging more to go furtherA mobile service carries its own suburb list, and an empty list means everywhere rather than nowhere. Charging more for the far side of the bridge is a second service, not a surcharge.3 min read · Walker, driver or sitter
  2. 2Pricing that runs itself: size bands, special-day rates, multi-pet and long staysA price nobody expected is nearly always a rule somebody set once. Three of them cover most of it: the size of the pet, the day it falls on, and how much of you the booking uses.4 min read · Owner
  3. 3Trips: pick-ups, drop-offs and the day's routeTrips shows one stop at a time on purpose. Optimise reorders the run, and the log book turns the kilometres into a BAS number.2 min read · Walker, driver or sitter
  4. 4Making a booking, from one dog to a nineteen-night stayOne booking holds a card per pet, and each card holds that pet's services. The switch at the top of the form decides whether Petboost picks the time or you do.4 min read · Owner or front desk
  5. 5Deposits, holds and card on file: which one do you wantA deposit is charged when a booking is made, online or by your team. A hold is placed 72 hours before and charged after, which is why it reaches clients who pay you in person.4 min read · Owner
