Most platforms treat every walk as a fresh transaction. That's not how independent walkers work. You have regulars — Bella every Tuesday morning, Cooper Mondays and Thursdays midday. The same dogs, the same slots, every week.
The DoggyDesk™'s three-slot day matches the shape of your actual work. Morning 7:30–12, midday 12–3, afternoon 3–7:30. Set capacity per slot — solo walks for the anxious Spaniel, group walks for the easy ones. Set it once, run for months.
Three-state per slot: public (anyone can book) · trusted-only (regulars only) · unavailable. Tap to cycle. Batch set whole weeks with one button.
Three slots a day — morning, midday, afternoon. Tap a slot to cycle it public, trusted-only, or unavailable. Set capacity per slot so a group walk and a solo Spaniel both fit your week.
See every upcoming walk and who it's for, in one list. Recurring weekly walks show as a single booking, not fifty-two.
Pick a slot, confirm the dog and the dates, done. The owner gets a link, you get a booking on your calendar — no back-and-forth messages.
Do you want some quiet days, not deluged with booking requests, but happy to walk only your favourite few dogs? Trusted-only slots disappear from public search — but your private slot stays available for Cooper, not the next stranger who clicks.
Set how many dogs each slot takes. Up to six for group walks, one for a Spaniel who needs solo, anything in between. Mix and match across the week.

thedoggydesk.co.uk/book/your-name. Send it on WhatsApp or a business card. Put it in your Instagram bio or Facebook. Doggy owners and friends can book easily.
When requests arrive, nothing is booked until you can review the dog and their owner first.
Owners pay you direct, cash or bank transfers — we take zero% cut. We also offer the option to take credit card bookings for deposits or other payments; if you use the card system there's a small % fee. This is optional — the system is fully functional without card payments.
