The 5 factors that turn a $385 first booking into a $4,800 4-year client: daily and overnight billing, GPS check-ins, real-time photos, per-pet medication logs, and holiday capacity management. All in one app. Built by someone who cared for 4 cats and 1 senior dog with insulin for a 14-day European 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.
The sitter taps Start Visit on arrival. GPS coordinates and timestamp log automatically. Tapping End Visit logs duration. The client opens her portal to see: Sarah arrived 12:34pm, departed 1:08pm. 34-minute visit at the verified address. No doubt about whether you showed up.
The sitter snaps 3-4 photos per visit showing Whiskers eating, playing, the scooped box, and refilled water. Photos deliver to the client’s phone in real time. The client on her cruise sees Whiskers happy. She tips Sarah $40 mid-trip and leaves a 5-star review later.
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. Claver caps your December bookings to realistic capacity. You can do 22 visits a day max plus 6 overnight stays given travel time and sleep needs. Stop overbooking and disappointing clients.

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 GPS-verified check-ins and 3-4 photos per visit. This lets the client see Whiskers happy in real time 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.
GPS-verified check-ins and real-time photos kill 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 calculates: 28 visits at $45 = $1,260, 4 overnights at $95 = $380, meds surcharge $185, parrot add-on $95. Total $1,920. Stripe takes $480 deposit and $1,440 daily. It runs on autopilot.
GPS-verified check-ins kill anxiety. Sitter Sarah arrives at 12:31pm and taps Start Visit. Claver logs GPS within 18 feet and the timestamp. Sarah gives Whiskers insulin, refills food and water, scoops boxes, and opens the parrot cage. She snaps 6 photos. Tapping End Visit at 1:08pm logs 37 minutes. Mrs. Castillo’s phone buzzes in Rome with the update. Her anxiety drops to zero. 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.
Christmas-week capacity dispatch protects 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. You get a 1-star review costing $14,000 in future revenue. Claver caps bookings at 22 visits and 6 overnights daily. The widget shows sold out dates automatically. You maintain quality and secure next year’s pipeline.
