A reservation module for a dogwalker
I'm new (just today) to Drupal and so far am very impressed. I've used Wordpress before and am a so-so sys admin with a little web dev experience.
I've recently acquired a dogwalking client to setup a website for and after struggling to find a solution using Wordpress I came to Drupal hoping for a lucky break.
The dogwalker requires;
- Reservation of 1hr time slots for multiple staff members within staff working periods (ie. 9-5 for Geoff and 12-9 for Mark).
- Reservation of whole day slots for pet sitting.
- User handling to the point that the public can see a general calendar but registered users can book slots after
- ... going through a payment gateway for a desired service (one-off walk, repeat walks or pet sitting).
So far I've found a few modules that will no doubt be useful, but not a reservation system with payment gateway that covers my needs. My list of modules installed so far is;
- Content
- Calendar
- Calendar iCal
- Date
- Date API
- Date Locale
- Date Pop-up
- Date Timezone
- Date Tools
- Featured Content Slider Block
- Views
- Views Exporter
- Views UI
And a bunch of Core-optional modules as well.
Could anyone advise of current reservation modules that fulfil my criteria? (reserve+take payment) Alternatively would anyone introduce me to how/where to start playing with the modules / make a bid of how much they would expect development of such a module to cost.
Thanks in advance.

There's some booking modules (ie http://drupal.org/project/booking_timeslots and http://drupal.org/project/publicbookings), but I'm not sure how they would integrate with payments. Another option might be the http://drupal.org/project/signup series of modules.

Thanks for your reply.
I've installed the modules you recommend plus their dependants and a couple of variations to enable in case the first-choice modules don't work out too well.
I can see the benefit of a set package of Drupal modules made to cover the booking+payment combo being applicable to so many scenarios... fingers crossed I can make it happen.
Hi afd - similar situation
Hi afd - similar situation here - how did you go with the payment module side of things?
Drupaling along...
