PawCounter: the pet business app for Clover, coming soon
PawCounter is the app we are bringing to the Clover App Market for pet businesses. It has been submitted and is in Clover’s review, so it is not installable yet. It puts calendars for grooming, boarding, daycare and training, client and pet records, check-in and check-out, and Clover checkout with tips on the Clover device you already have at the counter. Card payments inside PawCounter go through Clover, not a second processor.
Status as of November 7, 2026: submitted to Clover and in review. We will not call PawCounter available until the listing is live, and Clover sets its own review timeline. To join the list, email [email protected] with the subject “PawCounter list” and we will write to you when it is approved.
The register side of a pet business, on Clover.
PawCounter works the other way round. It runs on the Clover device already at your counter and takes payment through Clover’s own payment screens, with your Clover tax rates.
PawCounter is made by the team behind Animal Friends OS, built by a founder who has run a pet-care shop since 2013. It was formerly called OS Register in some of our earlier materials; the product is the same.
Calendars for every service
Touch-friendly calendars for grooming, boarding, daycare and training. Book, move and cancel in a few taps.
Clients and pets in one place
Photos, notes, vaccines and visit history for every pet, with alerts and vaccine warnings at check-in. New clients sync to Clover Customers.
Checkout through Clover
Services and products on one ticket. Customers choose a tip on the customer screen and pay on Clover’s secure payment screen.
From the front desk to the van.
Boarding and daycare check-in and check-out happen on the same device that takes payment. Trainers get classes, attendance and packages. Mobile groomers get today’s route with addresses and one-tap directions, On my way, Arrived and Done updates sent for them, and payment at the door on a Clover Flex.
Appointment confirmations and reminders go out by app notification and email, which cuts no-shows without sending marketing messages.

PawCounter and Animal Friends OS are two ways in.
PawCounter is the Clover app. Animal Friends OS is the web and phone product at animalfriendsos.com: online booking on your own website, a client portal, a branded client app, two-way texting, payroll, QuickBooks sync, and an AI assistant named Claire.
One difference matters if you take cards. In the Animal Friends OS web product, card payments run through your own Stripe account, and Clover cannot be connected as the processor there. Inside PawCounter, payments run through Clover. Choose the product that matches how you take payment today, or book a call and we will walk through both.
