“It allows me to save time running my business by putting scheduling, messaging, client information and invoicing all in one place.”

Khris R.

Owner Sitter

“I can keep track of client/pet data, communicate with clients and staff internally and do all of my invoicing in Time To Pet.”

Kim D.

Owner

“I feel as though this software will take my petcare business to the next level and I am so happy I chose Time to Pet!”

Matthew W.

Owner

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

Cons

“All of my notifications were turned on so I should have received some sort of notification, but I received nothing.”

Erica M.

Pet Sitter

“Inability to customize visit reports by client and packages/templates can be clunky to get started with and take more time if your client doesn’t have a regular schedule”

Akira B.

Co-owner

“I don’t approve each one because it slows the process, but sometimes people create a profile just to obtain information and then don’t become customers.”

Stephanie P.

Pet Sitter

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“I was having issues with freezing and glitching, but I was using an outdated version.”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