The whole trip, in one request
A client heading away for a long weekend shouldn’t have to text you five times. They pick the days, choose a morning and evening visit on each, and send it all as one request. Approve it and every visit lands on your calendar. Overnight stays book the same way: one booking from drop-off to pick-up, priced by the night.
- Clients book windows like Morning, not exact times
- Several visits a day across a trip, in one request
- Overnight stays priced per night, with drop-off and pick-up windows
From meet and greet to the keys
Nobody hands a stranger their house key. Set new clients to book a meet and greet first, and open full booking once you’ve met. When they book online they fill in your intake form, house notes and emergency contact included, and e-sign your agreement. Their answers land on their profile, so the lockbox code is there when you need it.
- New clients book a meet and greet first
- Intake form and agreement, signed online
- House notes and emergency contact on their profile
Holiday weeks without the chaos
Thanksgiving, the winter holidays, and spring break are when every client books at once. Holiday rates add themselves to the visits and nights that fall on a holiday, a deposit holds the dates, and booking limits close a day once you’re full. Sitting solo? One overnight can close the calendar for that night.
- Holiday and weekend rates, added automatically
- Deposits requested up front
- Limits that close a full day
“Scritches is exactly what I was looking for which was a software that matched my workflow, allowing clients to self-select their meet and greet dates, agree to my policies, fill out their forms, provide report cards and create invoices. It’s sleek and looks so nice and crisp.”
