Adding Walking (Custom Time) - Private Walk Bookings

Walking service bookings are when one or more pets (with the same owner) will be attending a private walking session. Multiple services can be added as a single booking group (up to 50).

They require each service to have a room with available capacity, and an available staff member rostered on.

Tip: Staff rostering can be automated with Staff Roster Templates in Account Settings.

Note: Customers can also request bookings online if you are using the customer portal.
