For pet-care businesses

Your services, bookable. Your team, in sync.

Dola gives your business a storefront clients love and the scheduling backbone your team actually needs — so you can grow the caring part, not the admin part.

Why pet-care businesses switch to Dola

The phone shouldn't be your booking engine.

Idle hours lose money quietly

Phone tag and stale calendars leave slots unfilled. Dola shows real-time availability across every team member — and every location, if you have more than one — so clients book the gaps themselves.

No-shows eat the day

Deposits, automatic reminders, and clear cancellation policies turn flaky bookings into reliable revenue — without an awkward conversation.

The books are a mess

Every location gets its own Stripe payout account. Revenue routes where it was earned, automatically, with the platform fees handled for you — clean numbers whether you run one storefront or six.

Watch it work

A schedule gap, covered — in 78 seconds.

A client books, your team is full at that hour, and one coverage broadcast fills the walk — while everyone watches it come together: live GPS, report card, automatic payment, five stars.

Rosa & Biscuit, Green Trails Walking Co., and caregiver Maya — the three sides of every Dola walk.
The platform

Everything it takes to book, get paid, and run the schedule.

One booking engine powers your website, your team's phones, and the drop-in kiosk — so every visit, online or in person, lives on the same calendar.

Your clients are yours, full stop

Clients join Dola by your invitation and see only you — there is no marketplace, no competing listings, no one to be routed to. Dola exists to make working with your business better; when you're slammed, trusted backups you choose can cover a walk without ever taking the client.

Live availability, zero double-bookings

The booking engine computes real open slots from each team member's approved hours, services, and existing appointments — and a database-level guarantee makes overlapping bookings impossible, even at peak.

Payments & per-location payouts

Take cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay online via Stripe. Each location is its own connected account, so payouts and reporting stay clean — and the platform fees are collected automatically.

Drop-in POS & Tap to Pay

A self-service kiosk for drop-ins: pick a service, grab the first available team member, and pay in person with Tap to Pay — no extra hardware. It writes to the same calendar as online bookings.

Team members manage themselves — with approval

Team members set their own hours and per-service pricing from their phone. Nothing goes live until a location admin approves it, so the schedule stays in your control.

Policies & automatic refunds

Set deposits, no-show rules, and cancellation refund tiers per service and location. Refunds issue automatically on cancellation — and reverse the payout from the right account.

Secure by default

Mandatory two-factor auth for every role, granular permissions per location, and a full audit trail on every price, schedule, and role change. Card data never touches your servers.

How it works

Live in days, not a rebuild.

  1. 1

    Set up your business

    Add your location — or locations — with hours, time zones, and your service catalog with base pricing. Once, for every team member.

  2. 2

    Onboard team members & payouts

    Team members join, pick the services they offer, and set their markup for your approval. Each location completes Stripe onboarding to get paid.

  3. 3

    Open the doors

    Clients book online and in the app, drop-ins use the kiosk, and money routes to the right account automatically.

For your whole team

Every role gets exactly what they need — and nothing they don't.

Owners & super admins

Own the global service catalog, manage locations and admins, configure billing, and see reporting across every location in one place.

Location managers

Approve team member schedules and pricing, set base prices and refund policies, and watch one location's calendar and revenue — scoped to just their location.

Team members

Manage their profile, availability, and pricing from their phone, opt into services, and see their own bookings — without touching anyone else's.

Clients

See your services with real prices, book and pay in a few taps, and manage their own appointments. They join by your invite — free for them, easy to rebook.

What it costs

No per-seat software bill and nothing per month. Clients pay a small booking fee at checkout (currently 6%) and a service fee (currently 10%) comes out of each payout — no monthly software bill, and Dola only earns when you do.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need more than one location to use Dola?

No — plenty of businesses on Dola run a single storefront or a single team. The multi-location tools (per-location payouts, scoped admins, cross-location reporting) are simply there the day you grow into them.

How do payouts work across locations?

Each location is set up as its own Stripe connected account. When a client pays, the money routes to the location that earned it, and Dola's platform fees are collected automatically. You get clean per-location reporting with no manual reconciliation.

Can team members set their own prices?

Yes — team members set a per-service markup from their phone, but nothing goes live until a location admin approves it. The client is always charged the approved price, and every change is logged.

What stops two clients from booking the same slot?

The booking engine enforces a database-level guarantee against overlapping appointments. Even with simultaneous requests at a busy moment, exactly one booking wins — there are no double-bookings to untangle later.

How are cancellations and no-shows handled?

You set deposit, refund, and no-show rules per service and location. Refunds issue automatically on cancellation according to the policy in effect when the booking was made, so later changes never affect existing appointments.

Is it secure?

Two-factor authentication is required for every role, permissions are scoped per location, and price, schedule, and role changes are fully audited. Payments run through Stripe, so card data never touches your servers.
