Why Dog Walkers Are Leaving TTP

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.”
r r/petcare · Public Reddit post
“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.”
r r/dogwalking · Public Reddit post
“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.”

What We’ll Tell You Straight

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:

⚠ Where TTP wins (for now)

GPS walk tracking, native mobile app, visit report cards with photos, QuickBooks integration, deep multi-staff shift management (5+ team members).

✓ Where HeyDogWalker wins

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to switch from Time To Pet?

+
Nothing. HeyDogWalker has a free 14-day Pro trial (no credit card) and a permanent free tier for up to 5 clients. You actually save money by switching: $21/mo less than TTP Solo, $252/year in direct savings, plus an AI receptionist included at no extra cost.

Can I run both at the same time?

+
Yes, and we recommend it. Start your free HeyDogWalker trial, set up your services and booking page, then run both for 1–2 weeks. Cancel TTP only when you’re confident in the switch. No overlap fees on our side.

How do I move my clients from Time To Pet?

+
Three steps: 1) Export your client list from TTP (Clients → Export to CSV), 2) Sign up for HeyDogWalker and set up your services, 3) Send your clients your new booking link. Most clients see it as an upgrade since they get 24/7 online booking and an AI that answers the phone.

Does HeyDogWalker have GPS tracking?

+
GPS walk tracking is on our roadmap but not available yet. If GPS is critical to your daily workflow, you may want to wait. Everything else — scheduling, booking, payments, client management, and the AI receptionist — works now.

Why is Time To Pet so expensive now?

+
Time To Pet has increased prices significantly over the years. Solo plan is now $50/mo (was much less historically), Team plan charges $16/mo per additional staff member, and text messaging costs $10/mo extra. Many users report feeling the price no longer matches the value, especially since the core features haven’t changed dramatically.
