Start Your Free Trial →Time To Pet is mature software — it’s been around for years and handles scheduling well. But a growing number of users are looking for alternatives. Here’s what we’re hearing:
“Time To Pet has raised prices about 400% over the 10 years I’ve been using them. At this point I’m paying $50/month for something that doesn’t do anything new.”— Reddit r/PetSitting user, 2025
“The interface feels dated and over-industrial. It was designed for big pet care companies, not solo walkers. I don’t need 90% of the features I’m paying for.”— Reddit r/DogWalking user, 2026
“Looking for TTP alternatives. I love the scheduling but I’m tired of the price hikes and I want something that actually helps me get more clients, not just organize the ones I have.”— Reddit r/PetSitting user, 2026

The savings math: TTP Solo ($50/mo) + a separate AI receptionist ($79/mo minimum) = $129/mo. HeyDogWalker at $29/mo includes both. That’s $1,200/year in savings.
