Dog walkers: run your business from your phone.
Free for a year, if you help us get it right.
We've built Go Rocco Business for the way a walker's day actually goes: see today's walks, tap Start, walk, tap Finish. The owner watches the route on a map and gets the update. Your invoice goes with it. Now we need a few real walkers to run their real business on it and tell us what's wrong.
Free Pro for 12 months · Your clients pay nothing · No card · Leave whenever you like
A walker's day, done in three taps.
No spreadsheet, no WhatsApp scroll to find who's booked, no "did I invoice Sarah?". Here is a Tuesday on Go Rocco, from your phone.
-
07:45
Open the app. It opens on My walks.Today in order: 9:00 Biscuit & Rex (Olive), 10:30 Max (Sam), 12:00 the group. Anything a new client asked for is at the top with a Yes / No.
-
09:00
Tap Start.GPS starts on its own. Olive gets "Biscuit's walk has started" and can watch the route on a map, live.
-
09:20
Big buttons for the things that happen.Photo. Wee / poo. Fed / water. A note. One tap each. Nothing to type.
-
10:00
Tap Finish.The update writes itself: "Biscuit walked 2.4 km in 52 minutes, 2 toilet breaks, 3 photos". Change a word if you like, tap Send. The invoice goes with it, with a pay link.
-
Evening
Money shows who has paid.One tap to mark cash. Your books and a tax-ready pack build themselves in the background.
Your clients get more than they get now
Each owner gets their own page: every walk, the route, photos, and their invoices, with nothing to install. If they get the free Go Rocco app they follow the walk live, get a notification when it starts and finishes, and can cancel under your own cancellation rules, not ours.
Regulars in one go
"Mon, Wed, Fri at 11" once, and four weeks land in your diary. Skip a date, pause for a holiday, or end it, from the phone. Group walks share one GPS recording and every owner still gets their own update.
The small stuff, remembered
Who holds which key, which dogs don't mix, the vet, the emergency contact, vaccination dates. Asked once.
Free for a year, and a say in what gets built.
Go Rocco Business Pro, free for 12 months
Everything in Free plus monthly invoice runs, text-message reminders, your own web address, team seats and the rest. Worth £180. After the year, the core is still free forever.
A direct line to the founders
A WhatsApp group with the people who build it. Something broken at 8am on a Tuesday? You'll hear back the same day, usually within the hour.
We build what you ask for
Every monthly call ends with a list. We ship the list. Founding walkers' requests go to the front of the queue, and your name goes on the founding list if you want it there.
Set-up done with you
A 15-minute call to move your client list over (paste a spreadsheet, or just tell us) and set up your regulars. You won't type it all in on your own.
0% on your own clients, forever
Your clients are yours. Card payments through the pay link cost only the card fee. We never take a cut of your own bookings, in the test or after it.
Your clients get the app free
Live walk maps, notifications, the report card, their dog's profile and the rest of Go Rocco. Free, no ads, no subscription. That's the thing they'll thank you for.
Use it for real, and be blunt.
This only works if you actually run your business on it. Polite silence teaches us nothing.
- 1Run your real walks on it for at least eight weeks.Start and Finish every walk from the app, so the owners get the map and the update.
- 2Bring three or more of your own clients onto it.You send them their link (WhatsApp is fine). We'll help with the words. They pay nothing.
- 3Thirty minutes once a month.A video call with the other founding walkers and us. What annoyed you, what your clients said, what's missing. That call sets what we build next.
- 4Tell us when it's rubbish.A message in the group, or Settings → Tester programme in the app (code WALKERS) → Send feedback. Screenshots help. "This is confusing" is a complete bug report.
- 5A little patience.It's early. You will find things we haven't. We fix fast, and your regulars' bookings are never at risk: everything exports in one click.
Straight answer on where we are. The app runs a walker's day today: clients, repeat walks, GPS walks, updates, invoices, books. It has been built with walkers and tested on our own dogs. It has not yet had twenty walkers hammering it through a wet November. That's you. Expect rough edges; expect them gone by the next call.
Who this suits. Solo walkers and small teams anywhere in the UK, with regulars and an iPhone or Android phone. If you already use another app, great: tell us what it does better.
Four steps. The first one takes a minute.
Email us
Tap the button below. It opens an email with the questions filled in: your name, your business, where you walk, roughly how many dogs a day, and your phone number. Send it.
We set you up, together
Within a day you get the app link, your Pro year, and a 15-minute set-up call to bring your clients over. Your first regulars are in the diary before we hang up.
Walk
Start and Finish from the app. Send your clients their links. In the app, go to Settings → Tester programme and enter the code WALKERS: that opens your tester hub, where feedback is one tap. Message the group the moment something is off.
The monthly call
Thirty minutes, once a month, on a video call. You tell us what to fix and build. Places are limited to twenty walkers so everyone gets heard.
Ready? Email us and we'll take it from there.
No form, no account, no card. Just an email.
Email [email protected]Prefer to talk first? Put "call me" in the email and a number, and we'll ring you. Places are limited to twenty founding walkers.
The ones we get asked.
What does it cost, really?
Nothing. Founding Walkers get Pro free for 12 months. After that the core is free forever (unlimited bookings, clients, invoices, your booking page, books and the tax pack), and Pro is £15 a month if you want the extras. No card to enter now, no contract, no "we'll bill you later".
Do you take a cut of my bookings?
Not of your own clients, ever. The only fee in Go Rocco is on clients we introduce to you through the marketplace, and only for their first few bookings. You don't have to be listed on the marketplace at all.
What do my clients have to do?
Nothing they don't want to. You send them a link; it opens their own page with every walk, the route on a map, photos and their invoices. No account, no app. If they install the free Go Rocco app and sign in with the same number or email, they get the walk live on a map and a notification when you start and finish.
Does it handle group walks?
Yes. Start once with the first dog, and the other dogs on that walk share the same GPS recording. Every owner still gets their own update and their own invoice.
What happens to my data if I stop?
It's yours. Clients, bookings, invoices and books export in one click from the web portal, and we delete your account on request. We'd just ask for ten minutes on why you left.
I've got a website / another app already.
Keep them. Plenty of walkers run Go Rocco alongside something else for the first few weeks. The bit walkers switch for is the walk itself: Start, the map the owner watches, and the update that writes itself.
Android?
Yes, both. The test group starts on iPhone via TestFlight; Android testers get a Play Store link. Say which you use in your email.
Twenty places. First come, first walked.
If you walk dogs for a living and you're fed up with the admin, we'd like you in the group.
