Pet Sitter Plus is a mature, UK-originated platform focused on professional pet sitting and dog walking businesses. It has a long track record with established sitter operations on both sides of the Atlantic.
Animal Friends OS was built inside a real operating pet care facility with 13+ years of daily use. Every module exists because we needed it ourselves first.
We publish our price. Most enterprise platforms do not. Always verify the current plan on each vendor's own pricing page before you switch.
Designed and built by someone who has operated a successful pet care business for 13+ years.
If your business fits our shape — a physical facility with grooming, boarding, daycare, or transport — here is where AFPC OS usually wins.
Pet Sitter Plus is a sitting-first platform. AFPC OS is a facility-first platform that also handles in-home visits — the inverse of their design.
Our pet-taxi dispatch is a core module, not a tacked-on map view. We use it every day to run our own fleet.
A true recurring-revenue membership module — fully branded to your business. Define tiers with bathing, nail trim, and transport benefits priced by weight. Not just a saved package.
Grooming, boarding, daycare, training, transport, payroll, hiring, QuickBooks, GBP auto-posts, review rewards — all in the same dashboard.
Animal Friends OS was built inside a real pet care facility with 13+ years of daily use. We ship features we need ourselves first.
“I was paying $125/mo for Gingr and still couldn’t use my own credit card processor. Switched to Animal Friends OS and saved over $2,000 in my first year.”
“The kennel grid and iDogCam integration sold me. My clients can watch their dogs from their phone. No other software does this.”
“We run daycare, grooming, and boarding under one roof. Now it’s all in one dashboard and our staff actually likes using it.”
Pet Sitter Plus does not offer any of these. Neither does any other pet care software on the market. These are the features that make Animal Friends OS a category of one.
