Done for you. Built for businesses that travel to their clients.
Booked, billed and followed up. On a system we build for you.
Your own site at booking.yourbusiness.com, with a landing page, session requests, and a dashboard for your clients, live in 7 days. Behind it: invoices that go out with the deposit and travel already on them, online payment straight to your own Stripe account, automatic reminders, and an admin dashboard that shows what's owed and what's come in the moment you log in. We set it up around how your business already works.
The back-and-forth
Six texts to book one appointment, and you still have to check your calendar.
The chasing
Invoices you feel awkward following up on twice, so you don't.
The evenings
Admin after a full day of work, when you'd rather be done.
How it works
-
1
Clients book from your site
They see the days you're actually free, pick a location and a session type, and request it.
-
2
You approve, the invoice goes out
One click. A branded invoice is sent automatically with the deposit, travel and any extras already on it, and a Pay Online button.

The money comes in, and the system does the following up
When a client pays online, it's recorded and the session confirms on its own. Reminders send themselves. You see who owes what, and what's overdue, on one screen.
What it actually looks like
What we build for you
- Your own site at booking.yourbusiness.com: a landing page, session requests, and a dashboard for your clients, with your branding, services and prices
- Client accounts: returning clients sign in to book, see upcoming and past sessions, and request a reschedule
- A dashboard of pending requests, upcoming sessions, unpaid invoices and this month's revenue, the first thing you see when you log in
- Invoices sent automatically, with deposits and partial payments tracked per invoice
- Online payments: clients pay the deposit or balance from the invoice, straight into your own Stripe account. We take no cut, and Venmo, Zelle and checks still work alongside it
- Automatic appointment reminders, plus balance-due and overdue follow-ups
- Travel fees by location, split automatically between clients who share a trip
- Availability that knows where you'll be, with travel days blocked around sessions in other locations
- One-on-one sessions, group sessions and multi-day events, with capacity limits and waitlists where you choose who gets an open seat
- Discount codes and promotions
- Revenue reports by month and location
- Google Calendar sync
- Clients can book as a guest, without creating an account
- Already have a website? Link to your client site from it, or embed it directly
This is for you if:
- You travel to your clients across more than one location: golf and tennis pros, equine clinicians, pickleball coaches and more
- You already have clients booking you
- You're running scheduling, invoicing and follow-up by hand
- You want your business to look as professional as the work you do
This is not for you if:
- All you need is a scheduling link
- You want a marketplace to send you leads
- You'd rather keep running it all out of your phone
Not a scheduling app. A system, built for you.
A scheduling app gives you a link and leaves the rest to you: the invoices, the deposits, the reminders, the travel math, the client records. Lapdog Booking is the whole system, set up around your locations, your rates and your rules, under your own brand at booking.yourbusiness.com.
We kept seeing good businesses lose time and money to scheduling chaos and payment chasing, running on tools built for people who stay in one place. So we built one for businesses that move, and we set it up for you.
In use today by businesses that travel to their clients, including a shotgun coach running clinics across Texas and beyond, and a dance instructor.
What it costs
We build it. Your site at booking.yourbusiness.com, your locations, your rates, your travel rules, your services, your branding, and your existing clients moved over.
Live in 7 days.
Hosting, support, and every new feature as it ships. No contract, cancel any time.
Two no-shows a month costs most businesses more than the monthly fee. Deposits are how you stop having two no-shows a month.
This isn't a scheduling app, and it isn't a brochure website. It takes the request, sets the deposit, sends the invoice, lets the client pay it online, reminds them, and follows up when it isn't paid.
Questions
How is this different from a scheduling app?
A scheduling app gives you a booking link. This is your own site, with a landing page, session requests and client accounts, plus invoicing with deposits, automatic reminders and follow-ups, travel fees, and a dashboard of what's owed, all set up for you and supported after launch.
I already have a website.
Keep it. Your new site lives at booking.yourbusiness.com and links back to your main site, so the two work side by side. If you'd rather not touch DNS, we can set you up on a lapdogbooking.com address instead. And if you'd rather keep everything in one place, the request form can also embed directly into the site you already have.
How long until I'm live?
Seven days. We do the setup. You send us your rates, locations and client list, then review it before it goes live.
How do my clients pay me?
Online, or however they pay you today. Every invoice can carry a Pay Online button for the deposit or the balance, in the email, the reminders and the client's dashboard. The money goes straight into your own Stripe account, and the payment is recorded for you. Venmo, Zelle, checks and cash still work side by side, and you mark those paid in one click.
Do you take a cut of payments?
No. Payments go directly to your Stripe account, and we take nothing from them. Stripe's standard processing fee comes out of each payment, the same as taking a card anywhere else, so most businesses build it into their prices. Your clients never pay an extra fee. If you don't have a Stripe account yet, we help you set one up.
Do my clients need an account?
No. They can book as a guest and confirm by email.
Can I run group sessions and multi-day events?
Yes, including half-day sessions and multi-day events with deposits and capacity limits. When one fills up, clients can join a waitlist. When a seat opens, you choose who gets it: offer it to the next person in line, or anyone on the list, with one click. They get a link to claim it.
What about travel fees?
Set a fee per location once. It's applied automatically, and if several clients book at the same place on the same trip, it splits between them.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Cancel any time.
Do I own my data?
Yes. Invoices export to CSV from your dashboard any time, and if you ever leave, we'll hand you everything else.
