The pet parent
One account for every pet in the household.
Petworking vs. MoeGo
From running your grooming business to joining the entire pet-care network.
MoeGo is built around grooming: scheduling, mobile operations, customer records and memberships. Petworking covers that ground and connects it to a Pet Passport, a consumer marketplace, other professions, retail, professional referrals and order-ahead pickup.

One platform. More of the pet world.
One animal, one lifeHere is every place one animal is cared for in a year, and the stretch of it MoeGo is built for.
Vet
Grooming
Training
Walking
Sitting
Boarding
Food
Licences
Pickup
All nine, one recordScope, not quality. A short bar is a product that chose a lane and is probably excellent in it. We are arguing that the animal does not live in one lane.

Checked against MoeGo’s own public product pages, help centre and pricing documentation on 15 September 2026. A tick means they publish it, a tilde means they publish something close with a caveat we have stated, and a dash means we found nothing. Vendors change fast: send us anything we have got wrong and we will fix it and say so.
The free plan is the cheaper of the two for a new business under about $1,436 a month in card volume. Above that, MoeGo plus Square is the cheaper line item, and the reason to move is the marketplace and the pet record rather than the subscription.
What you save switching from MoeGo
Plan against plan: your Petworking tier plus payment processing, against a named MoeGo tier plus Square in-person processing at 2.5%. Both sides have tiers, so pick the two that actually match your operation. The figure is whatever it is, including when it goes the other way.

MoeGo Starter, total$154.00
Both sides exclude per-booking amounts: Petworking's $0.30 a transaction, and any fixed per-transaction charge on the other side. Petworking's 7% marketplace commission is excluded because it applies only to transactions Petworking generates, and is $0 on clients you bring yourself. MoeGo Starter: Salon, per location. Published by MoeGo. MoeGo publishes salon plans at $79, $149 and $239 a month per location, and mobile plans at $49, $99 and $159 per van, with card processing billed separately. Most of these vendors publish in US dollars while Petworking prices in Canadian dollars, which moves the crossover once converted. Vendor pricing changes, so check it before you decide.
This is a volume-dependent comparison. The calculator names the cheaper line item at your selected plan and volume, including when MoeGo plus processing costs less. The wider argument is the marketplace and the portable pet record.
A groom is one appointment in a much longer relationship.
Grooming software sees the appointment and the client card. Petworking sees the pet: the vet treating their skin, the trainer working on the dryer sensitivity, the food reordered every six weeks, and the sitter who takes them in August. One pet identity, shared across every business the pet parent trusts.
The Pet Passport
Records, licences, permits and certifications the pet parent carries between businesses.
Their professionals
Vet, groomer, trainer, walker, sitter. Records, bookings and progress in one place.
Commerce and pickup
Retail, subscriptions and payments, collected from the business that sold it. Delivery coming soon.

Your business should not have to figure out the platform alone.
Pet care is bigger than dogs and cats.
12.6 million Canadian pets are not dogs or cats. Petworking is being built for the whole pet world.

One platform should not require every animal outside the two largest categories to become “Other.”
Canada had approximately 29.76 million pets in 2024, of which roughly 12.58 million were neither dogs nor cats. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Pet food trends in Canada, 2025. Data year 2024.
Switching should not mean starting over.
Petworking is being designed to import your existing business data rather than forcing you to rebuild it manually. We can migrate or preserve:

- Pet records
- Services
- Pricing
- Staff
- Bookings
- Appointments
- Memberships
- Packages
- Subscriptions
- Products
- Inventory
- Transactions
- Notes
- Documents

If your current software can export it, our goal is to ingest it.
