What is BusyPaws?

BusyPaws has been designed for modern pet care businesses to meet the needs and expectations of their clients. Delight your clients with a booking platform that matches the quality of service you offer to their pets.

Our software has been shown to improve sales and booking conversion rates versus other pet care specific booking platforms by offering booking flows that match modern best practices used by innovators in other markets used for professional services.

The BusyPaws experience extends to your staff enabling them to email, text, add notes, create bookings, generate invoices and payments, update client records, and much more. Quickly access information so that your staff spends less time engaged with screens and more engaged with your clients and their pets.

Real-time reporting provides visibility into your business to capture changes in booking conversion rates, cash flow, revenues, client activity and more.

Custom software development for back-end processes unique to your organization is also available and built in tandem with the existing BusyPaws platform and available to large organizations or franchises.

Integrations with third-party software includes QuickBooks Online, Mailchimp, and a two-way sync with Google Calendar.

Pros

“Easy to use with excellent tutorials and help available when needed. It was very easy to add the code to my website as well which made me feel more competent with computers than I actually am.”

Davina E.

Professional Dog Training Instructor

“Most of all, the customer service is superb. Any time I've had an issue, someone has been available to help and get things resolved.”

Caz G.

Owner

“I am happy I found them early for my business and also early in their start as I have been a proud Busy Paws member since they were small, unique and wonderful.”

Linda R.

Owner and Training Manager

Cons

“However, the misrepresentation of the LMS is so disappointing that I would not recommend Busy Paws.”

Jennifer T.

owner/trainer

“We were very disappointed that we could not get BusyPaws to work for us.”

Shar M.

owner / operator

“The only thing i dislike is that it does not generate any type of virtual meeting link. For google meets and zoom - you need new meeting links every once in a while.”
