Six dogs are booked for eleven o’clock; two of them fell out in March, one must always walk alone, and the van seats five. ModuleFest Pet Walker holds that knowledge for you: mark which dogs** walk alone** and which **don’t get on**, and it warns you the moment a booking or group walk would put them together. Also included: **walk tracking** with a route map you can share with the owner, walk reports with photos, **off-lead consent**, recall notes and a **key safe** register that refuses duplicate key numbers. It is a complete booking and client system for a walking business: bookings, clients, dogs, invoicing and payments in one WordPress install the business owns outright, behind an installable, mobile-first staff app and a self-service customer portal. It shows only the fields a walker actually needs — walk types with dog limits, solo and compatibility flags, off-lead consent and keys — rather than a general-purpose system you have to prune. #### What you get * **Bookings and calendar** — drag-and-drop diary, recurring walks, group walks that list every dog, availability rules and a booking editor that fits on a phone * **Clients and dogs** — full history, per-dog care profiles, vaccination expiry warnings, recall and off-lead consent * **Group-walk checks** — a warning before you save a walk that puts a solo dog in a group or two dogs that don’t get on together * **Walk tracking and reports** — the route, photos and notes, sent to the owner as a link they open without logging in * **Keys** — a key safe register for the clients whose keys you hold * **Invoicing and payments** — deposits, scheduled auto-invoicing, statements you send or print, PDF and print output, and card payments through Stripe if you want them * **Customer portal** — clients book, cancel, reschedule and pay themselves, without emailing you * **Installable app** — works on any phone with no app store: the day’s walks in order, photos and walk reports, and it keeps working when the signal does not * **Import and export** — bring your existing clients in with a guided wizard; take everything with you whenever you like * **Your branding** — branded login and booking pages with QR codes * **Demo data** you can load and remove, so you can see the system working before you use it #### Everything here is free Everything this plugin contains is free to use in full, for as long as you like. There is no trial, no licence key, no quota and nothing that stops working after a while. A separate paid plugin, ModuleFest Pet Walker Pro, is available from our website for businesses that want more: reminders and newsletters, statements that send themselves, packages and sale prices, finance reports and a report builder, mileage, accounting integrations, team members with rotas and commission, a round planner, customer segments, waiting lists, loyalty cards, automations and website designs. You never need it to run your business on this plugin, and this plugin never downloads or installs anything. #### More from ModuleFest We make free WordPress plugins for small businesses. Others on WordPress.org: * [ModuleFest Pet Groomer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/modulefest-petgroomer/)— for dog groomers All of them are on our [WordPress.org profile](https://profiles.wordpress.org/modulefest/), and there is more about us at [modulefest.com](https://modulefest.com). #### Privacy and external services ModuleFest Pet Walker keeps your data on your own site. It does not contact us or anybody else on its own — no analytics, no telemetry, no licence check and nothing on a schedule. Some features need an outside service to work. Every one is listed here, with what gets sent and when. Anything marked **only if you turn it on** needs you to enter your own details or tick a setting first, and sends nothing until you do. **Maps — OpenStreetMap, only if you turn it on.** Settings General Maps and postcode lookup is off until you switch it on. With it on, when you open a route map (walk routes and the day’s round), your browser loads map tiles from `tile.openstreetmap. org`, and the plugin fetches tiles server-side when it draws a static map into a report. What is sent: the map area being viewed. No client or pet details are ever included. Terms: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ · Privacy: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy **Postcode and address lookup — Postcodes.io (UK) and OpenStreetMap Nominatim (elsewhere), only if you turn it on.** With the same setting on, when a booking or client needs placing on a map or measuring for mileage, the client’s postcode is looked up to get approximate coordinates. In the UK it is sent to `api.postcodes.io`. For a business in another country (Settings General Country) it is sent to nominatim.openstreetmap. org instead, or, where a client has no postcode, their address line. Requests to Nominatim identify your site’s address, as their usage policy asks. No name, phone, email or pet detail is ever sent. Results are cached, so a place is only looked up once. Terms and privacy: https://postcodes.io/about · https://operations.osmfoundation. org/policies/nominatim/ · https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy **App notifications — web push.** If you or a member of staff allow notifications in the staff app, new-booking alerts are delivered through the push service of that person’s own browser (Google for Chrome, Mozilla for Firefox, Apple for Safari). What is sent: a short notice that something needs attention, encrypted so the push service cannot read it. Nothing is sent to anyone who has not allowed notifications. Terms and privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy · https://www.mozilla.org/ privacy/firefox/ · https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ **ModuleFest newsletter sign-up — `support.modulefest.com`, only when you press Subscribe.** The About screen has a Get updates card. Only when you tick its consent box and press **Subscribe**, the plugin sends your name, your email, this site’s address and the plugin’s name and version to ModuleFest, so we can send you the Pet Walker newsletter you asked for. Nothing is sent on activation, on a schedule or in the background, and the email address is not kept on your site. No feature depends on subscribing. Privacy: https://modulefest.com/privacy-policy/ · Terms: https://modulefest.com/terms-of-service/ The following are all **only if you turn them on**: * **Stripe** — card payments and deposits. Sends invoice amounts and the customer’s email to Stripe when you take a payment. https://stripe.com/gb/legal/consumer· https://stripe.com/gb/privacy * **Twilio** — text messages to your customers. Sends the recipient’s mobile number and the message. https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/tos · https://www.twilio. com/en-us/legal/privacy * **WhatsApp Cloud API (Meta)** — WhatsApp messages. Sends the recipient’s number and the message. https://developers.facebook.com/terms/ · https://www.facebook. com/privacy/policy * **PayPal.me** — only if you enter your PayPal.me name. Invoices then show a “ Pay with PayPal” link; the customer’s browser opens paypal.me with the amount due. The plugin itself sends nothing to PayPal. https://www.paypal.com/uk/legalhub/ useragreement-full · https://www.paypal.com/uk/legalhub/privacy-full * **Links that open another site in your or your customer’s browser** — nothing is sent by the plugin itself. The Google Calendar link on a booking opens calendar. google.com with that booking’s date, time and service. A WhatsApp button opens wa.me with the customer’s number and the message, ready for you to send. https:// policies.google.com/terms · https://policies.google.com/privacy · https://www. whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service · https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy- policy #### Source code Everything in this plugin is shipped as its original, human-readable source. Nothing is compiled, bundled, transpiled or minified, and there is no build step: the files you install are the files we edit. * The staff app is `pwa/js/app.js` (with `pwa/js/passkey.js`), written by hand and kept as one file so it works offline without a loader. Its comments are left in. * The customer booking wizard is `assets/js/pc-customer-wizard.js`. * Styles are plain CSS in `assets/css/`, `admin/css/` and `pwa/css/`. You are free to read, change and fork any of it under the GPL. #### Third-party code * **Leaflet 1.9.4** (maps on the route and walk screens), © Vladimir Agafonkin and CloudMade, BSD 2-Clause licence, GPL-compatible.

In WordPress, go to **Plugins Add New**, search for **ModuleFest Pet Walker**, and press Install then Activate. (Or upload the zip under **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**.) The plugin’s slug and folder are `modulefest-petwalker`. 2. Open **ModuleFest Pet Walker** in the admin menu. The first time, it opens **Getting started**, which is already set up for dog walking, so it never asks which trade you run. 3. Add a walk type or two, add a client and their dog, and make your first booking. 4. When you are ready to take bookings from customers, use **Settings General Quick start** to create the booking page and a QR code you can share. Nothing needs a licence key, an account or a connection to anything. If you would like to see the system with data in it first, load the demo data under **Tools Demo data** and remove it again when you are done. ## FAQ ### Which languages does it come in? The plugin is written in English and is translated by the WordPress community on translate.wordpress.org; WordPress installs the translation for your site’s language automatically. Our own translations into French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian come with the paid add-on described above. Any of the wording can be changed under Settings Language, and your changes are kept when the plugin updates. **Support is provided from the UK, in English only.** Ask in the plugin’s forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/modulefest-petwalker/ ### Do I need an account, a licence key or a subscription? No. Install it and use it. It does not expire, throttle or nag. ### What happens to my data if I delete the plugin? Nothing is removed unless you have asked for it. Deactivating the plugin never removes anything at all, and deleting it keeps everything too, unless you go to **Tools Uninstall** and choose otherwise. That screen counts exactly what would go — your records, your settings, your tables, read from your own site — and asks you to type a confirmation, because there is no undo. Your pages, your photographs and your user accounts are kept whichever way you choose. ### Does my client and pet data leave my site? No. Everything lives in your own WordPress database. The plugin does not send your client list, pet records, bookings or invoices anywhere. The short list of external services above covers everything the plugin can ever contact, and none of it happens until you switch it on or enter your own details. ### What is the staff app? A mobile app you install straight from the site — no app store, no separate download. It handles the day’s walks in order, photos and walk reports, and it keeps working when the phone loses signal, syncing when it comes back. ### Will it work with my theme? Yes. The admin side is standard WordPress, and the customer-facing pages are shortcodes that inherit your theme. ### How do I move my existing clients in? **Tools Import** takes a CSV and walks you through matching your columns to the right fields, with a preview before anything is written. Export works the same way, so your data is never locked in. ### Is it translation-ready? Yes. Every string goes through WordPress’s translation functions with the `modulefest- petwalker` text domain. ### Are there other ModuleFest plugins? Yes. Our other free plugins are listed on our [WordPress.org profile](https://profiles.wordpress.org/modulefest/), and there is more about us at [modulefest.com](https://modulefest.com). The plugin’s About screen lists them too, and anything you choose to install comes from WordPress. org. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ModuleFest Pet Walker – Pet Walking Business Manager” is open source software.
