WHAT YOU GET

Built for How Pet Care Businesses Actually Operate

📲
SMS reminders save no-show revenue

If you do 40 appointments/week at $60 avg and reduce no-shows by 2/week: $480/mo recovered. Software starts at $69.

💳
Card-on-file reduces bad debt

Clients pay before they leave — or the card on file charges automatically. Outstanding balances drop to near zero.

🎯
Memberships create predictable MRR

Even 10 members at $55/mo = $550 guaranteed monthly revenue. Predictable income changes how you run your business.

⭐
Better experience = more reviews

SMS confirmations, post-service follow-ups, and photo updates drive Google reviews. More reviews = more organic clients.

📊
Data shows your most profitable services

Knowing which services earn the most lets you promote them more. Most shops discover 1-2 high-margin services they undercharge for.

🚫
Waitlist turns cancellations into revenue

When a slot opens, the waitlist is right there and one tap texts the next client that a spot came free. A filled slot that would've sat empty = $60+ recovered per cancellation. At 4 cancellations/week: $240/mo.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

How quickly does the software pay for itself?

Most shops recover the $69/mo cost within the first week through just 1 recovered no-show and 1 re-engaged lapsed client.

What if I'm a solo operator — is it worth it for me?

Especially for solos. You save the most time per dollar because you're doing everything yourself. Automating reminders and scheduling alone is worth $69/mo.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — we offer a demo and trial period so you can see the ROI before committing. No credit card required to start.

What's the real cost after Twilio fees?

SMS messages cost $0.0079–0.015 each via Twilio. A shop sending 200 reminders/month pays about $1.60-3.00 extra. Your plan covers everything else — and on our own texting, appointment reminders and confirmations never count against your monthly marketing message allowance.

What if I already use spreadsheets and it works fine?

Spreadsheets don't send reminder texts, auto-fill cancellations, or track membership billing. The gap in revenue from those missing features typically costs 10-20x the software price.
