The phone rings. It’s Ms. Tomlin. “I didn’t notice your card or note like I often see and Bozzwell had an accident by the front door, which is very unusual. The check I left you is still on the table. I am concerned you didn’t show up for Bozzwell’s walk. I don’t even know if he had his medication.”

The inevitable knot visits your stomach and an Everest-sized lump grows in your throat. You did it. You really did it. You missed a pet sitting appointment.

Operating a successful pet sitting company requires compassion and patience, business management and intense multi-tasking skills, marketing and advertising experience, a reservation and invoicing system, and other technology. Let’s face it: it’s Herculean to meet all these demands. Aside from your internal greatness, computers and software technologies are likely the solution and largest asset to growing your company.

A quality pet sitting and business management software—like PetRez.com— is easy to use and marked by accessibility, automation, functionality, and affordability.

PetRez.com is fully web-based and advertises internationally. Upon registering with our product, your business goes global allowing travel agents and customers to reserve your services anywhere there is an internet connection.

Research shows that businesses with higher levels of automation—systems that allow a customer to independently engage in the reservation process from start to finish—decrease overhead and increase customer satisfaction and business profitability. PetRez.com allows your customers to create a personal account secured by username and password. After entering detailed pet data, dietary instructions and health information, your customers can schedule a reservation on the internet using their credit card, making a real-time transaction with your business.

PetRez.com is fully customizable to fit your unique business structure and we can even provide you with a small string of HTML code to be embedded into your web page so clients can reserve services directly through your website.

Higher functionality of a product means lower overhead costs: you save time and money by needing fewer products to get the job done. Aside from organizing and managing reservations, PetRez.com handles staff and payroll, customer messaging, live video streaming and more. PetRez.com can also run business reports, has fully-integrated credit card processing and is QuickBooks Online® compatible. This means no additional banking fees or merchant accounts.

Affordability
Free! Now that is affordable.

PetRez.com drastically reduces over-bookings, double charges, missing invoices, paper data, advertising and merchant processing expenses, and other costly business problems.
