## Reviews

### "For pet sitters this is a great app" — 5.0/5

> **Elainy** | *26 February 2020* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is the must have platform if you work with animals. You have different packages to choose from and you have payroll options etc available for you 24/7 you dont have to worry about appointments since you will automatically receive reminders for you upcoming events
> 
> **Cons**: No cons about this platform, it's easy to use. Easy to set payroll and no more long nights typing numbers down this does it al for you
> 
> Great absolutely great this is a great way to make sure you have all the appointments and your services set up for your next pet friendly clientele

### "Overall Great Booking System" — 5.0/5

> **Kaylee** | *11 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform is incredibly easy to use, and the support team is consistently responsive, helpful, and reliable whenever assistance is needed.
> 
> **Cons**: One drawback is the lack of a text-to-pay or text invoice feature, which would make it much more convenient for clients to receive bills and complete payments quickly from their phones—especially those on a mobile schedule who aren’t home during appointments or those who have someone else handle pickup.
> 
> DaySmart Pet is a great system. It makes it easy to manage clients and pets. They are constantly updating and improving the system. Tech support responded quickly and resolved the issue. Great value for the price. Each employee gets their own login with a password, so every employee's personal information is secured, and you are able to track things like which employee created a note, made/edited an appointment, or who did the drawer count.

### "Do not recommend" — 2.0/5

> **Samanntha** | *18 January 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When properly working the software is geared for mobile grooming.
> 
> **Cons**: Too many clicks to perform a simple task. Recent changes have made the software extremely unreliable and customer service (no live phone poodle anymore only email or chat that is returned their convenience) simply says “we are working on it”.
> 
> After 10 years as a client the first 8 years were great, the last couple of years have resulted continuous glitches and often having the software not working which is blamed on your cell service.

### "Best customer service in a world where it seems to be dwindling" — 5.0/5

> **Kari** | *26 March 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used Daysmart for several years and very rarely had any issues. Helps Keep my one-on-one grooming salon organized and efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: No major complaints. Any time there has been an issue it has been addressed right away. Recommend this software to anyone in the grooming industry.
> 
> Anytime I have had an issue , which has only been literally a couple times in several years… it has been addressed very quickly.

> **Barry** | *18 February 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I’ve had the software for at least 10 years but never really needed or wanted to deal changes. I’m so happy I did. Dan answered each and every question I had\! Was such a game changer\! Thank you \[sensitive content hidden\]\!

> 
> I own software and never have haves issue except here and there with outages but it’s expected. Today \[sensitive content hidden\] went above and beyond to get me back up and running and how to use my setting.
