Strengths & Weaknesses

K9Sky
Revelation Pets
Pros
✓Clear, published edition-based pricing (Professional / Corporate / Enterprise) in a mostly quote-only category
✓Rated very easy to use with a clean, modern interface (Capterra ease of use 4.8)
✓Purpose-built facility features: vaccination alerts, deposit management and groomer assignment
✓Highly praised, fast customer support (Capterra customer service 4.9)
✓Multi-location support out of the box
✓Free done-for-you data migration — the vendor uploads your data at no cost, even during the trial
✓100% web-based — no software to download or install, accessible from any browser
✓Genuine all-in-one: online booking, scheduling, reminders, vaccine tracking, payments and reporting in one system
✓Covers boarding, daycare, grooming and training in one system
✓Covers five service types (daycare, boarding, cattery, grooming, training) so multi-service facilities avoid stitching tools together
✓Digital pet records give any staff member the pet history and vaccination status at check-in
✓Accounting sync to QuickBooks and Xero plus Mailchimp email reduce double-entry
Cons
✗Setup fees apply on every edition, and cancellation requires 30 days' notice
✗Reviewers report bugs, including a case of recurring reservations disappearing unrecoverably
✗24/7 support is a paid add-on ($30–$50/mo); base support is business hours only
✗Payment status can be unclear — "not obvious if your payment has gone through," and the same for refunds
✗Reviewers consistently ask for more third-party integrations
✗Scheduling offers only general time slots, and some workflows take more clicks than expected
✗Reviewers want a stronger, more native mobile app
✗Limited point-of-sale functionality; reviewers wanted more POS depth
✗Facility-focused; no dog-walking or pet-sitting orientation
✗No free tier and a $60/mo entry price make it pricier than some entry-level tools
—
✗Scale ceiling — larger and multi-location operators are pushed to "contact us," and one user outgrew it around 25 dogs

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.
