Leadr review
A free web-based toolkit for solo walkers who can manage bookings and payments manually.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Leadr is web-based dog-walking software for small UK businesses, especially solo walkers organising walks and pet-care appointments. Its Free plan combines a booking calendar with client and pet profiles, configurable services, group-walk scheduling, booking confirmations, invoices and payment records. Pet profiles can hold details such as breed, microchip number and care notes, while client profiles keep contact details, notes and booking history together. That makes the free tier a practical starting point for walkers who want to organise routine work without relying on separate records.
The free plan is unusually complete for day-to-day administration: it allows unlimited client profiles, pet profiles and bookings, and lets walkers set services, prices, availability and working days. Group walks can place multiple dogs into shared time slots. Completed bookings can generate invoices, and payments can be recorded with a history for reference. The distinction to keep in mind is that payment records are not payment processing. Leadr is a fit for a business comfortable handling transactions outside the software and recording them afterward; it is not the right choice if clients must pay online through the booking workflow.
Leadr runs in the browser and is described as mobile-first for managing work away from a desk, but web is the listed platform. Client self-service, online payments, automatic branded invoicing, reminders and advanced scheduling are Pro features marked as coming soon, with pricing listed as £TBC. Those additions could suit a walker seeking more automation, but they should not be treated as available now. The product is operated by a UK-based sole trader, offers email support and states GDPR compliance. Choose Leadr if a solo or small UK operation wants free booking and record-keeping; look elsewhere if a client portal, payment processing, mobile apps or staff management are essential.
