Customer Stories

Don't just take our word for it

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.

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.

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'.
