!The Problem We Keep Hearing
“I love my software but the grooming part is a nightmare!!”
“We use one system for everything except our professional grooming department. For that we use a separate tool.”
“It doesn't automatically link the two services for checkout... I'm afraid that's going to be overlooked and we're going to lose revenue.”
✓How Petboost Solves This
- Book daycare + grooming for the same pet in one appointment
- Services automatically link for checkout (never miss a charge)
- One invoice covers all services, one system to learn
- Team members assignable across daycare, grooming & training
- Per-resource capacity prevents overbooking any station
Since 2020, Petboost has been the product of carefully researching, designing and spending time inside local pet businesses here in Australia.
We have a deep understanding of the industry, not only because we stay close to our customers, but after helping start Hound Health Bondi in 2018 and making fellow business owner friends along the way, we quickly realised what parts of the industry overlapped, and what was more nuanced.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the pet industry, which is why parts of Petboost are purpose-built for certain tasks, while also keeping things simple, consistent and familiar where it makes sense.

Real feedback from Australian pet business owners
“I am very excited and glad I went with them, the pricing structure makes sense and they are working very hard to make this the number one pet booking system in Australia. The customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients.”
Sacha
My Dogs Daycare, QLD
“Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually.”
Camille Hartnett
Trail Sniffers, NSW
“Just try it, you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'.”
