Choose your business type.
Pick a card to start. You'll create your Sable account (or sign in) first. Then you set up your business as a private draft, and it goes on the marketplace once your checks clear. No sales meetings.
Rather we did it? Book a free setup visit — we come to your door (starting in Scotland; elsewhere, ask us), set it up around how you run, bring your records across and stay until your diary is in use.

You stay in charge of every booking.
✓Accept or decline every request
Set each service to ask you first or book straight in. Decline a request — or let it expire — and anything paid online is refunded in full automatically.
✓Your prices, your policies
Your rates, your cancellation policy — and your own terms and conditions if you want them.
✓Listed once your checks clear
Set up your services, prices and policies straight away, as a private draft. It goes live once Stripe has checked you, your address is confirmed and a person at Sable has approved it. From then on your diary takes bookings, and you can pause your listing any time.
We never bill your business. Sable only earns when your diary fills.
✓One fee, never a bill
3% of each payment made through Sable, taken when the customer pays. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no minimum term; leave any time with 30 days’ notice and no exit fee. Stripe’s card fee is separate. You keep the rest, less Stripe’s card fee. A quiet month costs almost nothing.
✓You are the merchant
Payments land in your own Stripe account and pay out to your own bank. Sable never takes your money into its own account: for your first 30 days live, payouts wait in your own Stripe balance, then flow on your normal schedule.
✓Paid when they book
Most places take payment for the whole stay when the customer requests it — up-front payment, not promises, is what stops no-shows.
The back office is the product. The listing is where pet owners find you.
✓Diary, occupancy, records
Bookings, pet and vaccination records, arrivals and pickups, occupancy — and plain-English answers about your day.
✓Hotel-style check-in
Clients pick their drop-off and collection times before a stay, and you see them on an arrivals board.
✓Set up by chat
Tell Sable how you run things in your own words — prices, spaces, policies — and approve each change as you go.
Free export, any time — including on leaving.
Ask and we send your customers, pets and bookings within one working day, in a format other systems can read. It’s written into the terms. Licensed? Your licence number and council show on your listing.
Want it done for you? We come out and set it up.
Any size of business: a Sable team member comes to your door (starting in Scotland; elsewhere, ask us), builds your diary around how you run, brings your records across and stays until your diary is in use. Free. Email sales@sable.vet to book a visit.
