    Best Pet Sitting Software I’ve Found

    5

    I don’t often write reviews however I feel like this one deserves a special mention because it’s really good and it is getting better every day. I like the visuals and the graphics and the thought behind it. The software maker is really easy to contact with any suggestions and feature improvements and he has already implemented quite a few things I suggested. It’s nice because you can tailor it exactly to your needs which saves you time. With other ones I didn’t like the design and it wasnt customisable so I couldn’t change much, but this is great! You can tell that the software [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] genuinely cares about making it just right for your business needs. It’s saved me so much time as before I was doing everything manually by hand. It has pet info, client info, payments, calendar, invoicing, email templates, booking system, vaccine parts, legal disclaimer sections, check in/out, etc etc. I went through a lot of software trials before deciding on this one and I’ve now been using it for about a year. They have a trial you can do first, which is what I did. Hope that’s helps someone in their pet sitting business.

    Pros:
    I really like the design, colours, customisability and features. The customer service is second to none. It has absolutely everything you need to run a good pet sitting business all in one place.
    Cons:
    There are a few improvements to the booking system that the software [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is still working on. At the moment I use youcanbook.me for the meet and greet part but other than that I use Doxford. But probably within a week of writing this they’ll be perfect as whenever I contact him he makes changes really fast to get it better! That’s one of the things I like so much about Doxford is how much he listens and perfects it to my company’s needs

    Reasons for choosing Doxford

    As above: I personally feel that Doxford has better design, fantastic customer service, much more helpful altering things to exactly fit my company as I needed it, much more logical layout.

    Exactly what I needed!

    5

    I was looking for something very specific & Doxford fit the bill completely. I wanted something affordable for a 1 person team. I knew going in that I wanted text notifications, reports with pictures and notes, plus the ability to track payments. I also needed to easily manage my schedule and be able to customize my services to each clients needs. All that while being able to access this from any device! Doxford still checks all of those boxes for me months later!! I actually went down almost the entire list on Capterra for pet sitting software, and tested them. Took me a month, so I did my research and found Doxford to be the best and most affordable for all of those things I needed. Doxford's calendar view shows me everything going on that day, week and month- it's perfect! Prior to using Doxford I was having to use a physical calendar and two apps on my phone. It was ridiculous! Now, I can glance at the calendar and know who is paid up, what appointments are confirmed and when I have openings! AMAZING! One thing I didn't know I would want, that Doxford offers, is that I can have complete pet profiles with feeding instructions, medications and personality descriptions. I like having all that info right at my finger tips in the software, so I don't have to dig through paperwork or try to remember everything on my own. It's SO HELPFUL when you can see your notes from a past stay to refresh your memory on boarding a particular dog.

    Pros:
    I love that I can easily view and manage my schedule online from anywhere. My customers get text notifications with a link to their check in report with pictures. I like how I can actually customize the reports a little bit too, so I can check off meals or medications that have been given. Everything is so nice and streamlined for me because all the information I need is in one place. Saves me time and my customers love it! Also, their support team is on top of everything, so its nice knowing someone has your back!
    Cons:
    I do wish I could have multiple owners receive text message alerts. As of right now you can only have the notifications sent to one phone number. However, I told the dev about this wish and it may be in the works. Any time I have brought up a feature idea to the support team they are all ears. I can tell they love what they do.

    Reasons for choosing Doxford

    Doxford offered ALL the things I am looking for at an affordable price. Other software would have only some of what I needed, or the price was too high for me. I like how easy it is to use the Doxford software and mobile app together. I really enjoy the overall look and design of Doxford a lot more than the others I tested too.

    Reasons for switching to Doxford

    I switched from the Walkies app because they were making way too many changes that made the app less and less useful for me. Also, I was not able to use that app on an android phone or on my computer and I needed that flexibility. There had been the promise of an android app for the better part of a year and it never happened so I just decided to move on to something more fitting.

    Pros:
    Doxford is a less expensive software to use. It is a growing service so being patient with the lack of features is important but for the price it does what you need it to. They have been amazing at listening to suggestions. I think the program has the potential of being a great program to use.
    Cons:
    I miss some features such as taking credit cards with the program, having confirmation texts sent to customers to respond and we know they confirmed their appointment.

    Reasons for choosing Doxford

    It was cheaper even tho it lacked alot of features but they said they were open to ideas and suggestions.

    Reasons for switching to Doxford

    They were expensive and features that I needed daily would stop working such as confirming appointments, creating a new client, scheduling an appointment. Whenever they added a new feature something else stopped working. Also, when you called in with issues they always "submitted a ticket" to have it fixed and would let you know when it was fixed but never received anything back about it

    I love that I can have mostly all of my business information in one, easy to use location. Client information, invoicing, vaccines, even client communication. My clients appreciate the client portal and ability to view/edit their information and their pets information at any time, pay their invoices and view previous ones, and request appointments all in one easy spot.

    Simple, Easy-to-use, Affordable. Ability to easily create and host a website along with features that would best serve me and my customers right off the bat. Customer service is top notch and feels like having a partner ready to help make things easier, implement a feature, or fix a bug.
    Cons:
    Would love more customization options in the future. Looking forward to the development of the mobile version, the Android App, and Boarding and Daycare implementations!

    Reasons for choosing Doxford

    Starting out with a brand new business, I found TTP to be overwhelming and I didn't like the layout. It seemed like way too much to juggle and shift through while trying to get started. I appreciated Doxford's simplicity and was really sold by the ability to create and host my own website so that I could get my business launched quickly and efficiently.

    Pros:
    This is easily the most quickly developing software i have seen for the pet profession industry. It literally gets updated daily with new features. I personally have worked with the developer and he takes every idea I have ito consideration when it comes to implementation. He cares about his clients and their needs which is my favorite thing about Doxford. I cant tell ypu how many thousands of dollars I have spent on companies with difficult software that was to lazy to make it better. This is a must for new and experienced pet professionals alike.
    Cons:
    The only con is that this software is still quite new and lacks some features. But with how quick the developer updates the site this won't be an issue within the next few months.
