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.
