What is Time To Pet
Time To Pet is a cloud-based operations and client management platform for pet sitting, dog walking, and small pet care businesses. It supports scheduling, staff assignment, client communications, invoicing, and payment processing in a single system. The product also includes a client portal and mobile apps to coordinate visits and share service updates. It is typically used by multi-staff pet care providers that need repeatable workflows for daily routes and ongoing client service.
Strong scheduling and dispatch
Time To Pet centers on recurring scheduling, staff assignment, and route/visit management for pet care services. It supports operational workflows such as handling ongoing clients, managing service changes, and coordinating multiple sitters/walkers. This focus aligns well with businesses that run daily schedules rather than occasional bookings. It reduces reliance on separate calendars and manual coordination.
Client portal and messaging
The platform provides a client-facing portal for requesting services, viewing schedules, and managing account details. It supports communication workflows that keep clients informed about visits and service updates. This helps standardize how updates are delivered across staff members. It is useful for businesses that want consistent client experience without ad hoc texting.
Billing and payments included
Time To Pet includes invoicing and payment collection features designed for service-based pet care billing. It supports common needs such as charging for recurring services and tracking client balances. Keeping billing tied to the schedule can reduce reconciliation work. This is particularly helpful for businesses that bill frequently and need clear service-to-invoice linkage.
Not kennel-centric operations
Time To Pet is primarily oriented to in-home pet sitting and dog walking workflows rather than facility-based boarding/daycare operations. Businesses that require kennel run management, capacity planning by room, or facility-specific check-in/out processes may find gaps. Some facility workflows can be approximated, but the product’s core design targets field services. Facility-heavy operators may need additional tools or process workarounds.
Limited fit for marketplaces
The product is built for a pet care business managing its own clients and staff, not for peer-to-peer or marketplace-style matching. Organizations that need public listings, sitter discovery, or two-sided marketplace controls will not find those as core capabilities. It is better suited to established service providers than community exchange models. This can limit applicability for platforms focused on matching rather than operations.
Integrations vary by stack
While the platform covers many functions natively, businesses with specialized accounting, CRM, or analytics stacks may need integrations. Integration depth and available connectors can be a constraint depending on the tools already in use. Some workflows may require manual exports or process changes if a direct integration is not available. This is most noticeable for teams with strict back-office system requirements.
