Your own booking site, an app with photo updates for every walk, and payments straight into your account. We set it all up for you, and you pay 3.5% of what you bill, nothing before that.
Both pulled straight for the beach again 🐾 Max made a new friend. Water bowls topped up, and they're napping now.
Every Mon, Wed, Fri · 07:30
Group walk · card on file
“Can you do Thursday? What about next week?”, forty times a day.
Owners pick a service and a time on your site, see the price and book. Regular walks repeat on their own.
Owners at work want to know, and you're holding three leads.
Owners get a WhatsApp message at pick-up and drop-off, and a photo and note after every walk, sent from the app in seconds.
EFTs that “went through yesterday” and spreadsheets to match them up.
A card is saved at booking and charged per walk or monthly. Failed payments are retried and followed up on WhatsApp automatically.
Taking on another walker means another WhatsApp group, plus keys and gate codes in chats.
Add walkers with their own areas and availability, and let owners choose a favourite. Access notes are encrypted.
Walks, drop-ins and sitting, each with your own questions (breed, temperament, vet) and a clear price before booking.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 07:30, priced for each day, including public holidays. Skip one or move it without rebooking.
Check in, tick off the checklist, add a photo and a note. Owners see it on their phone straight away.
Cards saved on your own Paystack account. Charge per walk, sell walk bundles, or bill monthly in advance.
Walkers apply on your site and you approve them. Each sets an area and hours, and earnings and payouts are worked out for you.
Owners review each completed walk, and your best ones appear on your booking site, in your name.
No setup bill, no subscription, no contract. We earn when you do: 3.5% of what you bill your customers through Zila. If you bill nothing in a month, you pay nothing.
Send us your services and prices. We load them, along with your team, your customers and your logo and colours.
No monthly fee, no seat licences and no contract. If a quiet month brings no walks, you get no bill.
Single walks, plans billed monthly in advance and prepaid bundles all count the same way. You get one invoice a month, and it's the only thing you pay us.
You also get a direct WhatsApp line to the team building Zila, and a say in what we build next.
Your customers pay you directly through your own Paystack account, and Zila never holds your money. Paystack's card fees are separate and go to Paystack. Our 3.5% is worked out on your amounts before VAT, and our fee includes VAT where it applies.
Fill in the two-minute form below: what you offer, how many people work for you and how you take bookings today.
Within 3 working days we WhatsApp you a link to your-business.zila.co.za, already set up with your services, prices and brand. Look around and tell us what to change.
Invite your team and customers. You only start paying once you bill customers through Zila.
Each booked walk counts once when it's completed, so a group walk for three different owners counts as three walks. Tell us how you work and we'll set the services up to match.
Yes. Each is a service with its own length, price and checklist: 30-minute drop-ins, hour-long walks, overnight house sitting.
On what you bill your customers through Zila, before VAT: single walks, plans billed monthly in advance and prepaid bundles. Refunds and credit notes come off. It's the same whether the customer pays by card, by EFT or in cash. A walk you cancel without charging for it costs you nothing.
Yes. You never pay for setup, seats or a subscription. Each month you get one invoice for 3.5% of what you billed that month, and that's all.
No. WhatsApp messages, walk reports and photos, hosting, updates and support are all included in the 3.5%.
There's no contract. Export your customers, bookings and invoices and stop whenever you want. You pay only for what you've already billed.
Good, that makes the move easier. Send us your current list of customers, staff and prices in any format, and we'll load them into your new site for you.
No. Customers book on your website and sign in with a code sent to their WhatsApp. Your team uses a web app that installs to their phone's home screen and still works when there's no signal.
For card payments, yes. Payments go into your own account, not ours. If you don't have one yet, we'll help you set it up.
Tell us a little about your business and we'll build your site with your own services, prices and brand. You'll see it before you commit to anything.
We'll WhatsApp you within 3 working days with a link to your booking site. Its suggested address:
