Pros

“My staff also LOVES the app, especially their ability to get/send messages to clients (we don't give clients our sitters direct numbers so all previous messages had to go through me which could be tedious).”

Erica M.

Owner, Pet Sitter, Dog Trainer

“I wish that we could easily order our schedules in a master repeating/ ongoing basis/ print the schedules for a full week on one page as a listed view.”

Susan S.

Manager

“One more wish list - SOAP misc section under patient profile where I can keep internal record notes/client notes as patient record.”

Rachel S.

Owner and Veterinary Technician

Pros

“A bit complex for me when it comes to organizing, and finding forms, navigating. But at the same time, I think that's normal for understanding a new platform.”

Candice N.

Professional Pet Care Taker

“I love the new feature of raising prices for new bookings and honouring old clients.”

Sarah M.

Dog sitter and walker

“I love how it really focuses on the user experience, with everything being modern and easy on the eye. If you own a pet care business, Scritches is the best software for you!”

Katelyn M.

Pet Care Provider

Cons

“Also, the client set up of having to have their emails on file and no way to upload clients in mass form on my own.”

Reina R.

Owner

“web browser and that videos will sometimes take a while to upload/ drain my battery.”

Kelsie B.

Dog trainer, pet care service provider

“I have not figured out an easy way to have it invoice clients before an When I do have a question the team is assignment starts.”

Nancy H.

owner of a non-veterinary service

Cons

“A lot of menus sometimes mean the stuff im looking for gets buried, and the menus can get complex at times, i wish i could have a list version for the multiple pet pricing as scrolling through huge boxes makes me lose my place sometimes. And I dont like that reviews and sync is behind a huge paywall as sometimes i cant reach that goal :(”

Alexis S.

Pet Sitter

“Sometimes a little hard to navigate for clients.”

Eliza C.

Owner
