It is very intuitive which makes training new staff easy. The schedular has a great calendar with drag and drop capability. Everything is integrated so nothing falls through the cracks. Our customers have also enjoyed using the software. The software encourages customers to leave tips when making payments. Where we weren't getting many tips before we now get lots of tips. The software has more than paid for itself just in tips\! > > **Cons**: Since we pay our employees by the hour including travel time between visits we would like to see the tracking of travel time integrated more automatically into the software. > > Customer service is lightning fast\! The software was great at the beginning but the owners are not content with that. They keep making it better and better. I can't wait to see what additions they make to Time To Pet in the future. ----- ### "Time To Pet changed our business for the better" — 5.0/5 > **Alexis** | *21 November 2022* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have thought through exactly what a pet sitting business would need to function the best--and continue to do so. I have said from the beginning that it must be a team of people who have run a pet sitting business or been a pet sitter before to intuit exactly what we need in the business. Scheduling with small, precise windows, report customization options, and the client communication (whether it's push notifications, emails, or the chat area) are the top things we love about Time To Pet. > > **Cons**: There's always areas to add on to, but I think for the cost, it's fantastic and they are always adding. My main desire would be to have an easier way to share the calendar with sitters so they can see who else is working and can switch shifts if they want. > > I wouldn't have been able to hire without it. I needed to be able to KNOW for a fact that employees were at a client's home on time, not leaving, and have pictures that show both myself and the pet owners how their pets are doing. It has taken away the fear that someone could be taking advantage of this job. ----- ### "Good programme but has some flaws that need to be addressed" — 3.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *2 November 2019* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of Scheduling for subcontractors/employees on the road via the app or in the office on the computer. As well as generating subcontractor/employee invoices/pay - very little effort on admin to complete these tasks. Customer Service is very quick and responsive. Invoicing to the client is effortless - unless you do not keep up with the scheduling\! > > **Cons**: Like most dog walking companies or businesses, we use sub-contractors - so basically self-employed individuals. These sub-contractors have access to information that I do consider confidential. I understand the basics of subcontractors seeing the client name, address, entry/alarm code - otherwise, they would not be able to perform the job they were hired to complete - but if I am having a conversation with a client who has asked questions, made comments, etc this information should not be able to be seen by the subcontractor or employees. Yet it is if that particular individual was assigned to that particular client. Imagine your surprise when a client sends you a note on the lack of performance or how anything negative about your subcontractor/employee and that said person was able to read the entire thread\! Con \#2 - We do pack walks that vary day by day - every client in the pack walk is in conflict with each other according to the schedule. It would appear the scheduling aspect of the software is set up for an individual at specific times. Not such a big deal as you just have to override it but a bit of a pain when doing mass scheduling. Con \#3 - When a client submits a request for service and they are a client that does not get invoiced you can not accept the request without generating an invoice. The option not to invoice is not present on client generated service requests. > > In the beginning, the response and answers from the owners were phenomenal -as they have grown they have added Customer Service personal and although responses are in a very timely manner they are just not as "warm and fuzzy" as they were when the responses came from the support staff. He made you feel your question or comment was most important to him - now they seem to be stock answers from the service department making you feel more like a number than a client. ----- ### "Best Pet Sitting Software Out There" — 5.0/5 > **Vanessa** | *15 June 2020* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: TTP is a highly innovative pet sitting software that helps me run the day to day operations of a mid-size pet sitting company. With staff and quite a few clients, this software ensures nothing is ever missed and that our clients enjoy an app for themselves as well. > > **Cons**: Due to the sheer number of customizations, the program can be daunting at first. However, it is completely worth the time to learn it. I had to think outside the box a bit to ensure the program could be tailored to the specific needs of my company which can be scary at first. TTP has never let me down and I've always been able to use the features and options to tailor the program to be exactly what I need. While there are a lot of documents explaining how to do things, more video instruction would be helpful however TTP's customer service is the absolute BEST. If you can't figure it out or can't find the answer you're looking for, their team is always knowledgeable and quick to respond. > > I am 100% satisfied with Time to Pet and I recommend it to every pet sitter I know. I have used other products in the past and TTP is just far above exceeding any other programs out there. They are constantly taking feedback from their users and are always actively improving the product, adding amazing new features, and staying ahead of the competition. There's just no other software on the market that does with TTP does, nor do they have the TTP team backing it up. ----- ### "Cuts administrative tasks in half" — 5.0/5 > **Theresa** | *23 December 2023* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that almost everything I need to run my company seamlessly is in one program rather than having to use 5+ different programs > > **Cons**: It's is a pretty costly monthly fee especially for a small start-up with very few clients, but it is well worth it in the long run and to start your clients on it sooner rather than later. > > I am extremely happy with this software and the app that goes with it. It has cut the time I spend on admin duties in half. My clients love the app and the ease of use. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/203830/time-to-pet?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/203830/time-to-pet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
