Graziella's Private Walk with Suzie Walsh
Saturday 24 January 2026, 1 hour • Bondi NSW
Suzie arrived at 48 Bennett St, Bondi to start Graziella’s walk
A relaxed wander through the park with Grazi, lots of sniffing and taking it all in
Down to the harbour beach for a quick dip, confident in the water and clearly loving it
A joyful roll in the grass, sandy paws and all
Walk complete. Graziella returned home calm, happy, and very pleased with herself
Available to Both Sides
Frazer sees the same Magic Map as Suzie. Pet owners and business owners both get full transparency on every appointment.
Personalised Journey
Graziella’s timeline says "Suzie arrived to start Graziella’s walk", not generic system messages. Every event is personal.
Notes, Photos & Timeline
Customer-facing notes ("a joyful roll in the grass"), 5 photos, and a draggable timeline panel. The full story at a glance.
The difference between saying and showing
Pet owners want evidence, not promises. Here is what location proof looks like.
"Trust me, I walked your dog for an hour." No proof, no timestamps, no photos.
Check-in at 2:00pm at Bennett St, Bondi. 5 photos uploaded: park, harbour beach, grassy roll. Checkout at 3:00pm. Full timeline shared with Frazer.
Pet owner texts "Did you actually go to the park today?" Awkward.
Pet owner opens timeline: sees check-in location, walk photos with location tags, and checkout. Zero doubt.
Competing walkers charge more but have no way to prove their value.
Location proof justifies premium pricing. Owners see exactly what they pay for. Referrals increase.
Proof of service, built into every appointment
Not a separate app. Not a clunky GPS tracker. Location proof woven directly into your appointment workflow.
Check-in, photos, and checkout on one interactive timeline.

5 photos uploaded
Checked out
Start and finish plotted on an interactive map.
Unlimited uploads with location metadata.
Each photo tagged with location + time
One tap from your phone. No app download needed.
Point-to-point only. No continuous GPS tracking.
Built for pet pros on the move
Whether you walk, groom, sit, or transport, location proof works the same way.

"The customer service is out of this world"
"You won't regret joining…it's the best. I own a dog daycare, grooming and training. I was using an American company for 6 years, which was ok but expensive, not a great system and to get any support took days. When I came to Petboost which is Ozzy owned I knew they were a small business but wanted to give them a go. I have been extremely impressed, the customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients. The pricing structure makes sense and is very affordable, it is very easy to use and navigate, and the way they have built the business reports and analytics is so impressive, easy to understand and personalised."

"The automatic payments feature is a blessing"
"Streamlined Invoicing and Booking for Small Teams. I really like how much quicker and easier Petboost Business has become after the upgrades. The automatic payments feature is a blessing as it helps me not to stress, and the self-booking option for clients is amazing for my business! These features ease the mental load and reduce manual admin tasks, allowing me to focus on what I do best."

"I no longer have to chase clients for late payments"
"Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually."

"I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show"
"Just try it, you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'."
