Time to pet

Time To Pet is the leading pet sitting and dog walking business management software, trusted by over 4,000 pet care companies worldwide. The platform provides everything an in-home pet care business needs — from scheduling and invoicing to GPS tracking, visit report cards, mobile apps for staff and clients, and payment processing. Time To Pet has been the software of choice for PSI (Pet Sitters International) Pet Sitter of the Year winners for seven consecutive years, making it the industry gold standard.

What sets Time To Pet apart from general scheduling tools or marketplace platforms like Rover is that it is built specifically for pet care business owners who run their own companies with their own clients and staff. The platform handles the unique complexity of pet sitting businesses — multiple visits per day to different homes, varying service types (walks, drop-ins, overnight stays), pet-specific care instructions, GPS-tracked visit verification, and photo/video report cards that keep pet parents connected while they are away.

Key Features: Comprehensive scheduling system designed for multi-visit, multi-pet, multi-staff daily operations, GPS tracking for dog walks and pet visits with map visualization for pet parents, visit report cards with photos, videos, and notes sent automatically to pet owners, mobile apps for both staff (iOS and Android) and pet parents for real-time communication, integrated invoicing with automatic generation based on completed services, Time To Pet Payments accepting credit cards, ACH, and Google/Apple Pay through client portal, automatic charging with customizable payment schedules for recurring clients, frequency discounts that auto-apply when clients book minimum service thresholds, staff management with scheduling, time off tracking, permissions, and pay reports, QuickBooks integration for seamless accounting synchronization, customizable service rates with per-client pricing options, bulk invoicing for efficient batch payment processing, client portal where pet parents can request services, view schedules, and make payments, pet profiles with detailed care instructions, medications, vet info, and behavioral notes, and email marketing tools for client communication and retention.

Pricing: Time To Pet offers transparent pricing across multiple tiers. The Lite plan is $25/month ($250/year) for solo operators needing basic scheduling and invoicing. The Solo plan is $50/month ($500/year) for growing one-person businesses adding advanced features like videos, integrations, and email marketing. The Team plan is $40/month plus $16/month per active staff member for businesses with employees, adding time off management, permissions, and pay reports. Large Team pricing (25+ staff) is available with custom rates starting at $120/month. A Facility plan at $80/month serves daycare and boarding operations. No contracts — month-to-month billing with prorated refunds on cancellation.

Use Cases: Solo pet sitters managing daily visit schedules, client communication, and invoicing from their phone, dog walking companies coordinating multiple walkers across neighborhoods with GPS verification, pet sitting businesses with growing teams needing staff scheduling, pay tracking, and performance management, pet care companies wanting professional report cards with photos and GPS maps to differentiate from competitors, established pet businesses switching from spreadsheets or basic tools to a purpose-built platform that scales, and pet care entrepreneurs launching their first business with an affordable, all-in-one management solution.
