You wouldn't book a cleaner to mind your cat. Same software, though.
Trips Booster
Whether you do daily visits or full vacation coverage, here is what makes the difference.
Visits, keys, run sheets, invoices and owner updates in one place. Retire the diary, the notes app and the camera roll doubling as your filing system.
No per-seat fees, no module unlocks, no hidden costs. The automation that runs your visit lifecycle is in the plan, solo or with a team of sitters.
Petboost was designed by spending time inside 100+ Australian pet businesses, and it shows in the details sitters need. Key locations, feeding routines and visit preferences live on each pet's profile, and every visit can send photos so owners actually relax on holiday.

Milo
Sitting, walking, feeding visits and overnights rarely come one at a time. Each service is individually designed, then unified, so one client's whole holiday lands on one calendar and one customer record.

Booking more than once?
Add up to 9 more dates, same service or a different one. Each is a separate appointment, charged separately.
Confirm your extra dates
Your booking is at 9:30 AM. We are checking whether each extra date has that time free.
A client going away for two weeks books every visit in a single pass, up to ten dates, rather than repeating the form once a day.
These aren't trivial feature differences. They're architectural advantages that solve real customer pain points.
Automate as much or as little as you want, from booking to payment. With customers booking for themselves, day or night, the admin looks after itself and your front desk stays calm. Customers book, confirm, pay, and get reminded without a single phone call.
Two modes for different workflows. Magic Availability Check handles availability-checked bookings with confidence. Quick Create gives you direct control to schedule without restrictions.
Get paid automatically with Auto-pay invoices. Built-in invoices branded with your logo, colours & ABN. Stripe Bank Feeds carry card payments into Xero for your bookkeeper to reconcile. We use Stripe under the hood to securely manage all payment processing.
Customers buy 10-walk bundles at 3am and redeem credits as they book. Lock in prepaid revenue.
Set precise limits for every kennel, play area, grooming station, and van, and online bookings never go past them.
Purpose-built for dog trainers. Not recurring appointments pretending to be courses.
Dozens of automated insights analyse your revenue, team, services, customers, and geography. Period-over-period comparisons, forecasting, and ready-to-use email templates.
Design Principle
Not mobile-friendly. Mobile-native. 100% feature parity across desktop, tablet, and phone. We even wrote custom drag-and-drop code for iPad.
When your team adds customer-facing notes or photos to a visit, the pet owner can open a visual report card with them, plus a gentle nudge to rebook and leave a Google review.

Report cards are included on every Petboost plan. Notes, photos, rebook prompts and a Google review prompt, built from what your team already records. Texting a card needs Communications Booster or Enterprise.

A daily five o'clock feed is one recurring pattern. Every visit in it is still its own appointment on the calendar, so a single day can move without touching the rest.
Seven and fourteen day packages are paid at booking. Each visit draws a credit as it happens, so nobody comes home from a fortnight away to an invoice they were not expecting.
Arrival and departure are timestamped, the notes say what you did, and the photos go to the owner. If a visit is ever questioned, the answer is already written down.
Switch on auto start, auto complete and auto pay and the round runs without admin. You look after the pets and the paperwork happens behind you.
The note you already write once per business goes out on the confirmation and the reminder, so the new sitter and the client both have the alarm code and the key box.
Pre-Appointment Message
Also add to confirmation and reminder texts
Adds this message to the booking confirmation SMS and each reminder SMS. A longer text uses more credits, one per segment.
A house-sit from the 12th to the 22nd reads as a range, not as a single start time. Same-day visits stay as one start.
Trust is everything for pet sitting businesses. Petboost helps you turn that trust into Google reviews with a personalised message your team sends after each visit.
A quick Google review helps Hound Health Bondi and other pet owners find great care.

Pro tip: Pet sitting clients trust you inside their home. Ask every client after their visit, and that trust turns into authentic reviews.
