Cons

✗A 1% gateway fee was added for existing customers in September 2025
✗Heavy setup and learning curve — one reviewer cited a roughly six-month implementation

Who uses pet care software — and what each person does with it

🧑‍💼 Business owner

Watches bookings, revenue, retention and no-shows by service and by staff member on one dashboard — sees which services and repeat clients actually make money.

📞 Front-desk / reception

Books appointments, checks pets in and out, takes deposits and payments, and sends automated reminders so slots stay full and clients show up on time.

✂️ Groomer / walker / sitter

Runs the day from a mobile app — sees the schedule, logs services and notes, tracks GPS check-ins on walks, and sends report cards and photos to owners.

🐾 Pet parent / client

Books online, uploads vaccination records, pays and tips, and self-serves rebooking from a client portal — then gets an automatic reminder and review request.

The flow the software runs end to end: client books online → vaccination and intake collected → appointment scheduled and staff assigned → check-in → service delivered with notes and photos → payment and tip → automatic rebooking and review request. Each stage hands off to the next without re-keying.
