Pros

“Hoping the updated app addresses the issues I had.”

Holly G.

Dog Walker

“The schedule syncs right up to the invoicing and bills my clients automatically - I can't count how much time and energy this has saved me, it has completely transformed my business.”

jayme w.

Owner

“Before the pandemic, I was seeing accelerated growth of the company due to more efficient management, staff management (tools for supervising work quality), and more time to actually speak with clients.”

Jenn F.

Owner

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

“I was having issues with freezing and glitching, but I was using an outdated version.”

Holly G.

Dog Walker

“The start and stop times of individual bookings is weird, and there are things I would change about overnight stay bookings, but the app makes it clear it is a work in progress.”

Dorothy O.

Dog handler

“There isn't an app that administrators can use”

Alana A.

Founder

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.”
