The pet parent
One account for every pet in the household.
Petworking vs. Time To Pet
Field-service tools meet the rest of pet care.
Time To Pet is strong on visits, recurring care, staff and care reports. Petworking connects that work directly to the pet's broader care history, their professionals, their purchases and their recurring needs.

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 Time To Pet 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 Time To Pet’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 Lite plan is the cheaper line item past about $618 a month in card volume on our free plan, and at every volume against the paid plans. Its Team plan adds $16 US per active staff member, so the comparison moves with your headcount rather than your revenue.
What you save switching from Time To Pet
Plan against plan: your Petworking tier plus payment processing, against a named Time To Pet 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.

Their comparable planMatched to your plan. Change it if their tiers line up differently for you.
Petworking Independent$143.00
Time To Pet Lite plus Square$109.00
$34.00more a month with PetworkingPetworking is the cheaper of the two below about $385 a month in card volume, and the more expensive one above it.
What the difference buys
Petworking costs $34.00 more a month here. This is what that difference buys, on top of the software itself.
A consumer marketplacePet parents searching for what you do can find you in Explore and book you there. Practice software runs the business you already have.
The Pet PassportOne record for each animal that leaves with the pet, readable by the vet, groomer or sitter you refer to, so nobody rebuilds the history.
The PetworkYour professional profile, verified credentials and closed-loop referrals, attached to you rather than to whoever employs you.
Every species at species levelFields and husbandry attach to the species, so a ball python and a bearded dragon do not share a care model, and no animal is filed as Other.
No commission on your own clientsThe 7% applies only to a transaction Petworking generated. Everyone you bring or import stays at $0 commission, permanently.
Migration on any planSelf-serve import is free, and we will do it for you from $149. You never have to buy a bigger plan to get help leaving your old system.
If none of that is worth $34.00 a month to you, the cheaper line item is the right answer, and we would rather you worked that out here than after switching.
Independent plan fee$29.00
Payment processing, 3.80% of $3,000$114.00
Marketplace commission$0.00 on your own clients
Petworking Independent, total$143.00
Time To Pet Lite plan fee$34.00
Card processing, 2.50% of $3,000$75.00
Time To Pet Lite, total$109.00
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. Time To Pet Lite: $25 US, converted. Published by Time To Pet. Time To Pet's own help centre publishes Lite at $25 US a month, Solo at $50, Facility at $79, and Team at $40 plus $16 per active staff member. Lite is shown here at about $34 Canadian. 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.
The calculator compares the reference Lite subscription and processing with your selected Petworking plan. Time To Pet Team adds a per-active-staff charge, so check the plan and headcount that match your business.
Walking and sitting should connect to the rest of the pet's life.
A walker often sees a dog more than anyone outside the household. That daily record: behaviour, mobility, appetite, who else is involved in their care, is worth something to the vet, the groomer and the trainer. Petworking is where it lives and where a referral to any of them starts.

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.
