Your Guide to Success: Maximizing Your Profile on PetPal Calendar

Welcome, professionals! PetPal Calendar is more than just a booking platform—it's a tool to help you grow your business, connect with new clients, and manage your schedule effortlessly. This guide will show you how to make the most of your profile.

1. Creating a Profile That Attracts Clients

Your profile is your digital storefront. A great profile inspires trust and encourages pet owners to book your services.

• High-Quality Photos: Upload a clear, professional profile picture of yourself. Use the gallery to showcase your workspace, your happy clients (with permission!), or you in action. Photos are the first thing a potential client sees!
• Compelling Business Description: Tell your story. Why did you get into pet care? What makes your service special? Share your experience, your philosophy, and what a pet can expect when they're in your care.
• Define Your Services and Prices: Be clear and upfront about what you offer. Fill out the "Type of Service" and set your prices accurately (per hour, per day, or per service). This transparency helps clients make quick decisions.

2. Managing Your Bookings and Calendar

Our platform is designed to make scheduling a breeze.

• Receive Booking Requests: When a client books your service, you'll receive a notification and the event will appear in your calendar with a "Pending Payment" status. Once payment is confirmed, it will automatically update.
• Your Calendar is Your Hub: All your appointments, whether for boarding, walking, or vet visits, are consolidated in your calendar. You can see pending arrivals, current stays, and check-outs for any given day.
• Manage Client Status: Use the calendar dashboard to "Check In" pets when they arrive and "Check Out" them when they leave. This keeps your schedule organized and your clients informed.

3. Getting Paid and Communicating

We handle the administrative work so you can focus on the pets.

• Secure Payments: All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Once a client books and pays, the funds are processed and sent to you. You can track all your earnings in the "Transactions" tab.
• Direct Communication: Use the "Inbox" to chat directly with clients. It's the perfect place to confirm details, share updates, or send a cute photo of their pet during a session.

By optimizing your profile and using our tools effectively, you can build a thriving business on PetPal Calendar. We're here to support you every step of the way!
