## Reviews

### "Loving this software\! Perfect for my growing business\!" — 5.0/5

> **Amie** | *17 April 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a newly beginning business owner what I appreciate most is scritches ease of use and customer support  whatever I couldnt figure out intuitively on my own they were more than happy to assist me with in a prompt and professional manner.  It's also very affordable with several subscription tiers offering people like me the opportunity to use quality software without paying for excessive features I don't need.
> 
> **Cons**: As it's new there are some bugs and I would appreciate an official app but I know that's in the works already.
> 
> It's been very positive. I really feel like they're working with me to help grow my business while improving theirs as well\!

### "Professional, attractive Pet Sitting software for the win\!" — 5.0/5

> **Shannon** | *16 January 2026* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the personal client support, the appearance of the software and ease of use for my clients. The client reports for their pets is what really "sold" me, absolutely adorable.
> 
> **Cons**: It's in Beta so it's still improving. The link to have my clients sign up is long, even though there's a QR code , many of my clients are older and don't quite get the codes.
> 
> Fantastic. I have been with a other pet sitting for software for almost ten years and switched to Scritches. I love the calendar option where I can block dates and times, the client reports are adorable and all in all its very easy to use. The admin takes your requests for changes seriously and is constantly tweaking it to make it even better. I give them two paws up\!

### "Fantastic Platform\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jake** | *8 August 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how scritches is so easy to use and everything is consolidated into one platform and has a portal that customers can login, manage their pets and book appointments, specifically overnight pet sitting.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish that scritches could have stripe integration into my already existing stripe business account. That would be great\! &#10;Also allow more branding from my brand to be across the whole platform, rather than the Scritches logo. The web address feature would be amazing
> 
> Fantastic experience with the platform and great feedback from my clients all round. They find it very easy to book overnight pet sitting and also dog walking

### "You get what you pay for" — 1.0/5

> **Tiffani** | *20 July 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Price that was about it. I like it was a small company, thought I would have good support. I was looking to spend less..... I paid upfront.
> 
> **Cons**: Support was not great at all, last email was July 4th, until today when they asked for a review. Careful what you ask for I spent 500.00 to learn a lesson
> 
> I own a Dog Boarding Business. It did not even have the basics I needed to operate. I wanted a Kennel Card that I could print with all the dogs information. They did not have that.  I emailed a few times and the last email was left unanswered. Today I received an email asking for this review.

### "Best option for those who want to start their own business\!" — 4.0/5

> **Rachael** | *9 June 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is set up for people like me -- independent, no additional staff, and affordable\! Intake forms was most appreciated.
> 
> **Cons**: It is still working out some kinks, so that is understandable. VERY NEEDED is an in-app messaging system. Report cards are great, but I often send updates throughout the stay and don't want to give out my personal cell phone just to send a quick photo. Also, just an app overall would make life easier with communication and for pet parent portal.
> 
> So far so good\! I'm a relatively new user, and I have had a pretty good experience so far. Setup was easy, I was able to "test" out services with dummy clients and setups. Their feedback/bug reports are amazing -- I almost always get a response quickly, which is super helpful.
