Real frustrations from real pet care professionals.
“400% price increase but functionality hasn’t changed. I’ve been with them for years and the product is basically the same as when I started, but the price has gone up 4x.”
“Far too many categories / menu options. The interface feels like it was designed in 2015 and hasn’t been updated. I spend more time navigating menus than actually managing my schedule.”
“Most expensive software with additional per-staff charges. Once I added two employees, I was paying over $70/month for what is essentially a calendar with a client list.”
We’ll tell you what we do better, what’s equal, and where we’re still catching up.

We’re not going to pretend we’re perfect. Here’s an honest look at where we win, and where TTP still has the edge:
GPS walk tracking, native mobile app, visit report cards with photos, QuickBooks integration, deep multi-staff shift management (5+ team members).
AI receptionist (24/7 phone answering), 42% lower price, no per-staff charges, Google review automation, free tier, modern UI, AI-powered marketing tools.
Bottom line: If you’re a large team (5+ staff) that relies on GPS tracking daily, TTP might still be the better fit. If you’re a solo walker or small team who wants to stop missing calls and stop overpaying, we built HeyDogWalker for exactly you.
