Just keeps getting better

PROS

I like that they are constantly adding features and listening to client needs. The booking optimization is crucial with a smaller kennel. Online booking also makes it so easy for our clients to see our pricing, package options and to be able to book anytime they need to.

CONS

There are still some work arounds we have to use but most of the time that is only needed until a bug is worked out. I will be anxious for grooming to be added to the program as well as we have to use two programs currently.

Reasons for switching to Goose

We were already using Goose as our booking platform and this allows a more seamless process. It also has a more modern interface and allows for more booking optimization settings.

Goose is a modern and streamlined KMS

PROS

First and foremost, Goose's customer service is exceptional. Their team is prompt and thorough. Their support team is easy to access from the dashboard and everyone on our team feels comfortable reaching out. Goose's dashboard is simple and clear. Reports are easy to find and understand by anyone on our team. Last, Goose allows us to set rate optimizations and minimum booking values that are very customizable and easy to adjust.

CONS

The pre-registration process can get missed by our customers, and our staff often needs to encourage owners to fill it out before a reservation. We know this is something that the Goose team is working on and are confident the final result will go above and beyond what currently exists in the industry.

Reasons for switching to Goose

Gingr's booking process was not ideal for the customer experience. We liked that Goose allows customers to book without going through a clunky intake process. We also appreciated that Goose's dashboard and reporting are much easier to use and clearer for staff to understand. Additionally, Goose's customer service is leaps and bounds above Gingr both in promptness and attention to detail.

Goose increased my revenue in a few short months!

Overall, I would recommend Goose to any colleague. It has dramatically improved my revenue, helping my business grow rapidly. I am constantly impressed with the software updates and how well the company communicates with its subscribers. I have never waited more than 15 minutes for a service request to be answered and handled on the spot. I look forward to seeing what updates and new features pop up monthly.

PROS

Goose and the entire team have exceeded my expectations. From the initial set-up process to the everyday use of the site, every task is streamlined. Revenue management has been the biggest pro to using Goose every day. My booking rates are automatically adjusted to increase my profitability during holidays, historically busy times of the year, and allow you to create blocked-off time too. Without Goose, I would be missing out on simple revenue increases that offset Goose's costs and so much more!

CONS

There is not much to dislike about Goose. They are a young company, and the customer support is unmatched in the industry. The entire time, the support team is there to take care of any questions or problems you encounter. You can actively see the software updates take place firsthand. The support team is also great at releasing articles about all their improvements and updates, giving business owners a step ahead!

Reason for choosing Goose

Goose's customer call and their in-person customer support team sold me to Goose. Also, the revenue management feature is similar to how a hotel operates, and Goose has done a great job with subscribers' ability to customize booking rates to increase profits.

High-end hotel software for the pet care industry!

I've been using Goose for 6 months now, and I find myself liking it more and more. Initially, I signed up for Goose mainly for its online booking feature. However, I didn't explore the dashboard until a few weeks ago, and now I realize how many great features I've been missing out on. I'm grateful to their team for helping me better utilize the Goose dashboard. Their support has been invaluable.

PROS

Goose allows my clients to seamlessly book dog boarding services 24/7 without the need to download an app or spend a long time registering. The platform is mobile-friendly, making it easy for clients to access and use on their smartphones or tablets. Best of all, Goose is sophisticated. Its clean interface reminds me of high-end hotel software tailored for the pet care industry. Among all the options I considered, Goose stood out as the most modern-looking platform. Additionally, I appreciate the flexibility Goose offers. I can easily create add-on services and adjust pricing based on peak season dates, allowing me to tailor my services to meet the changing needs of my clients. This flexibility ensures that both my business and my clients are well taken care of.

CONS

I rely heavily on Google Calendar, so the ability to automatically sync new bookings to my Google Calendar would be fantastic. I keep a calendar widget on my phone's home screen so when a client asks if I have a date available, I can quickly check my phone. Currently, I manually add Goose bookings to Google Calendar, and I'm actively seeking a better solution to automate and sync this process. I would also appreciate a small calendar added to the booking page that displays availability and pricing (blocked-off days, fully booked days, and days with higher pricing, such as holiday rates). This feature would make it easier for my clients to plan their pet care and travel ahead of booking. Furthermore, it would be great if Goose could integrate with QuickBooks Online to simplify accounting tasks. Overall, I'm impressed with Goose's continuous improvement and look forward to seeing them grow and add more features every month.

Reasons for switching to Goose

I tried Gingr for a few weeks, but quickly realized it wasn't the right fit for my business. While it offered many features, I found it too overwhelming for my small business needs.

If you can book yourself a hotel online, you can use Goose!
