The 5 factors that turn a $385 first booking into a repeat client: daily and overnight billing, GPS tracking, visit photos, per-pet medication logs, and holiday-week booking limits. All in one app. Built for the sitter who's caring for 4 cats and 1 senior dog with insulin during a 14-day trip.
The client books a 7-day vacation. Claver structures the cost: $35 daily visit x 7 = $245, $45 evening visit x 7 = $315, or $95 overnight x 7 = $665. Stripe charges the card upfront or per visit. The client never sees an invoice. The booking runs from her phone.
GPS tracking and breadcrumb history playback show you where each sitter has been on their route, so you can confirm a day's stops without calling. Customers get a live "on my way" link when a sitter heads out, not a logged arrival and departure time.
The sitter snaps 3-4 photos per visit showing Whiskers eating, playing, the scooped box, and refilled water, attached to the job in Claver. Text or share them straight from your phone so a client on a cruise can see Whiskers is happy instead of wondering.
Whiskers: Maine Coon, 14 lbs, age 13, needs 2 units insulin 2x daily from the fridge top-shelf. Eats Royal Canin Renal Support, 1/3 cup 2x daily. No treats. Water fountain refill 2x daily. Litter scoop after every visit. Vet contact: Dr. Smith at Manhattan Pet Hospital (555-1234). Cover sitters know the full routine instantly.
December 22 to Jan 2 is the worst week for pet sitters but brings 40-60% of annual revenue. Set your own daily visit and overnight-stay limits in the booking widget, say 22 visits and 6 overnights, based on your travel time and sleep needs, and once you're full the widget stops taking new bookings for those dates. Add a waitlist on Crew so you can offer a last-minute opening to the next person in line with one click. Stop overbooking and disappointing clients.
Starter is $19/mo. Texting, AI and dispatch start on Crew at $39. The phone line and AI receptionist are on Business at $79.
Pet sitting is a trust business. Clients hand you keys and credit cards while they are on a cruise ship. The sitters who win send a photo from every visit. This lets the client see Whiskers happy from her cabin.
The shops that lose use the 2010 playbook: visit the cat at 12:30pm, eat lunch, visit the dog at 3pm, type a summary email at 8pm. By Tuesday the client is anxious and calling you three times. She considers ending her trip early.
A photo attached to the job kills anxiety. Per-pet medical records keep the relationship alive during sitter turnover.
When Mrs. Castillo books her 14-day trip, the app builds the booking. She has 4 cats and 1 senior dog with arthritis meds plus 1 parrot. She picks 2 daily visits for 14 days plus 4 overnight stays. Claver's booking pricing engine calculates: 28 visits at $45 = $1,260, 4 overnights at $95 = $380, meds surcharge $185, parrot add-on $95. Total $1,920. Stripe takes a $480 deposit and bills the rest on the recurring plan you set up. It runs on autopilot.
A photo from every visit kills anxiety. Sitter Sarah arrives at 12:31pm. She gives Whiskers insulin, refills food and water, scoops boxes, and opens the parrot cage. She snaps 6 photos and attaches them to the job in Claver, then texts a couple straight to Mrs. Castillo. GPS tracking on your dispatch board confirms Sarah's route without you having to call her. Mrs. Castillo's phone buzzes in Rome with the photos. Her anxiety drops. She enjoys her gelato.
Per-pet medical records save the relationship when Sarah goes on vacation and Marcus covers. Marcus opens the account and sees Whiskers needs Vetsulin 2 units 2x daily and kidney diet. Cooper needs Rimadyl 100mg morning and glucosamine evening. Marcus walks in knowing every medical detail and behavioral preference. Mrs. Castillo does not notice the swap. The relationship survives.
Holiday-week booking limits protect you from overbooking. December 22 to Jan 2 brings 40-60% of your revenue. The temptation is to take 28 visits a day. You cannot deliver, and an overbooked, exhausted week is how you end up with a bad review that costs you future bookings. Set your booking widget to your real daily capacity, for example 22 visits and 6 overnights, so it stops taking new bookings once you're full and offers a waitlist instead. You maintain quality and protect next year's pipeline.
Most pet sitters fly blind on marketing spend. You pay $20-$45 per click for "pet sitter [city]." Some clicks become $1,920 bookings. Some become nothing. Claver's Google Ads conversion tracking and lead source reporting (Business) show which keywords turn into paying, repeat clients and which just generate clicks, so you can put your budget behind what works instead of guessing.
