About

Chester is a web and mobile business-management platform for independent pet-care providers, including dog walkers, pet sitters, groomers, trainers, and boarding or daycare businesses. It combines booking and schedule management with client and pet profiles, care and health records, client messaging, and a portal where pet owners can request services and view updates. Providers can set recurring visits and group services, send invoices, record payments, and accept online card payments through Stripe. After visits, they can share report cards with notes, photos, and video; GPS routes can be attached to dog-walking updates. Team features include staff assignments, role permissions, calendars, and pay reports. A free tier supports up to five active clients, with paid plans adding unlimited clients, card payments, and team tools.

About

Packyard is web-based management and booking software for independent pet grooming salons and mobile groomers. It provides an online booking page, staff calendars, appointment reminders, two-way client texting, and client and pet profiles for details such as coat, behavior, photos, and vaccination records. Groomers can manage service menus, digital agreements, staff access, payroll, reports, and payments through Square or Stripe. The iPhone and iPad apps support appointment, messaging, pet-profile, and route workflows, while browser access is available on phones and computers. For mobile grooming, businesses can configure vans, service areas, and route days. Customers can choose a pet, service, groomer, and available time when booking online.
