A deposit holds the walk
A one-off walk booked and then dropped is a trip across town for nothing. Soopaspace takes a deposit by card when an owner books, so the walks you plan for are the walks that happen.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

A deposit when they book
Ask for a deposit by card the moment an owner books, with the rest settled your usual way. It is most useful for a new client or a one-off walk that takes you out of your way, and you choose which bookings ask for one.
- A card deposit taken at booking
- Set it where a dropped walk costs you most
- The balance settled your usual way
- The owner sees exactly what is left
The walks you plan for happen
An owner who has paid toward the walk turns up to hand the dog over, and the ones who cannot make it tell you in time. A reminder goes out before the walk with a link to move it within your notice.
- Money toward the walk means fewer drop-outs
- A reminder before the walk
- Owners move a walk inside your notice
- A freed slot is known in time to fill it

Common questions
- Do I have to take a deposit on every walk?
- No. Deposits are set per service, so you can ask for one on a new client or an out-of-the-way one-off and leave your regular round as a straightforward booking.
- What if an owner needs to move a booked walk?
- As long as they move it within the notice period you set, the walk and its deposit carry over to the new time rather than being lost.
