Simplifying Administration for Pet Care Business

BusyPaws empowers the next generation of pet care entrepreneurs, from soloists through to enterprise. Trainers, daycares and groomers have all found a platform to rely upon.

Hundreds of thousands of pet parents engage with pet care businesses through BusyPaws in ways they expect from modern service providers.

Online fully integrated payment processing

Impress your clients with a modern booking process uniquely designed for pet care. Automate form collection, gather vaccine information, collect payment, control staff and room capacity, and more.

Two-way SMS and Email Messaging, Automated reminders and confirmations

Automated, two-way conversational and transactional messaging ensures your clients and staff are always up-to-date and keeping in touch. Set reminders to reduce no-shows and follow-ups to gather feedback and reviews!

"In the past, there were only two choices - Go with a dog-training specific platform, and sacrifice UI and features, or go with a generic solution to get modern UI and features, but no dog training functionality.

With BusyPaws, we get the best of both worlds - modern design with cutting edge features, and the dog training specific functionality for our needs."

- Andre Yeu, CPDT-KA, KPACTP, When Hounds Fly
