Brilliant booking system

We have used NarpsUK since starting our dog walking business and find the booking system and invoicing system invaluable. There have been a couple of issues with invoices going into spam/junk mail which we haven't got to the bottom of but apart from that, we wouldn't be without it.

A great site for my Petcare services…

A great site for my Petcare services business I started up 7 years ago. Renew it every year.
Very professional and excellent material and forms that can be given to clients.
With the training, forms and invoices all on one site makes it a very easy process.
Regularly updated and any glitches quickly sorted.
Would not hesitate to recommend the site 😊

Reassurance and Professionalism

I was reassured when starting my dog walking/ pet services small business last year to have the backing of a professional organisation , Narps Uk. I was able to undertake their business course, use their client booking forms and take advantage of a reduced cost business insurance policy. I feel that this has contributed to my obtaining clients who appreciate a professional approach. Being a member of Narps UK has been a very positive experience for me.

A guiding light

I’ve been a member of Narps for over 11 years and have always found it worthwhile. It gave me confidence to set up my business and the forms and contracts cover so much that I wouldn’t even have thought about. The software including bookings and invoice system makes life simple. I can’t recommend NarpsUK enough. If I’ve ever had a query they’ve always got back to me really quickly which has been greatly appreciated.

It was easy to join up and access the great advice and knowledge at hand to build up my business. The ability to use pre-produced documents for my pet sitting business has reduced my stress and allowed me to have professional paperwork to give to clients without me employing a business solicitor.

A must have app for all dog walkers….it has EVERYTHING you need to run your business….and so easy to set up and use

I have been using Narps for many years as they provide everything a dog walker needs…..accounts package; booking system, contracts/forms/ advice and many more features! I often check out other apps to see if there is a better one but no! I love how you are in control of all the bookings/ changes (which my lovely clients tend to do on a regular basis!!!). Also any technical enquiries (I am a technophobe so initially I had to ask a few questions but it really is a simple app to use so I am sure this was just me) but any questions were answered swiftly (and in layman’s terms so I could get it sorted quickly!).

I’ve been with NARPS since starting my business on 2014. I’ve been very happy with them. Their software is easy to navigate, they are always quick to respond to any queries and are good at keeping us updated if any change in legislation. The only issue I’ve got that is ongoing is my invoices ending up in clients spam and occasionally the account details changing on the invoices of new clients. I would still Highly recommend them though.

I’ve been with Narps Uk since the start of my business 8 years ago.
The booking system is easy to use so when you invoice all the info is pre-loaded from the booking. There have been issues where my clients haven’t received my emailed bookings/invoices and apparently Narps tell me this is caused by my clients not marking my emails as known contact therefore my emails can end up in their spam.
When it comes to year end there’s a financials tab that lists all work done. If you haven’t closed off an invoice it’s marked in red so you can check your bank if you definitely received payment and then just close off the invoice. It tallies up your year’s earnings and you can export the excel sheet and save it in a style ready to forward to your accountant.

Excellent responsive service

I've been a member of NarpsUK now for several years, They provided me with sound training to become a professional dog walker and pet sitter. The training was comprehensive, relevant and interesting and gave me the confidence to start my own small local business. Their platform is straightforward to use and they provide useful and helpful business documents and processes which its members can access to develop their administrative and professional business skills. These include sample contracts, health and safety forms and pet assessment forms besides several others. This saves time and allowed me to focus on getting my services up and running. From time to time we have important updates sent and as a member i can get to create my own web page throughout their site and make use of their logo and professional membership services and emblems. This provides greater credibility in the business world of pet care. Clients are also able to leave their reviews about my service. We also have access to forums and social media options to share our stories, discuss ideas and reflect on our experiences. Its a great service and the staff are always polite attentive and responsive. This means I receive timely outcomes and support to my inquiries. Thanks NarpsUK for a professional and friendly service.

Happy customer

I’ve used Narps UK from the online course right through to year 6 of the business,
It’s been incredibly helpful when encountering problems/ hiccups with the software on the whole.
The only one unresolved is my invoices going into clients spam sadly!
But hey it’s a small issue, have been very happy with the service and tools they provide.
Thank you 🙏

Well worth joining

I’ve found NARPS membership very useful on many levels since starting up a pet care business in 2016.

Not a tech person- NARPS helped a lot setting up a website, providing marketing platform and giving lots of advice on this. Peer support groups also available.

Reduced price courses with membership- including pet first aid, and discounts on business insurance.

Becoming a member entails adhering to a code of conduct which is assuring for customers and can be used as a business philosophy.

Business form templates were great to use.

During lockdown 2020- NARPS provided good advice and much appreciated support at this difficult time to be self employed.

Marilyn is readily available and very responsive when advise required. It’s been much appreciated. Thank you
