Time To Pet charges $15 per month for every staff member you add. The more your business grows, the more you pay. That pricing model punishes success. Animal Friends OS charges $45/month flat. Unlimited staff. Unlimited clients. Period. Your software bill should not scale with your payroll.
Time To Pet’s base plan is $49/month for one user. Each additional staff member adds $15/month. Here is what that looks like as your team grows.
Every new hire means another $15/month added to your Time To Pet bill. Seasonal staff, part-time walkers, a new groomer — they all add up. Before you know it, your pet software costs more than some of your staff make in a shift. Animal Friends OS charges $45/month flat. Hire freely.
Per-user pricing creates a perverse incentive: avoid adding staff accounts to keep costs down. That leads to shared logins, poor accountability, and security gaps. With Animal Friends OS, there is zero cost to creating another staff account with proper role-based permissions.
Software should cost less per person as your team grows, not more. Time To Pet’s model means a 20-person operation pays $334/month for the same features a solo operator gets at $49. Animal Friends OS gives the 20-person operation and the solo operator the exact same price: $45.

"We had 12 staff on Time To Pet. That was $215 a month just for scheduling software. Switched to Animal Friends OS and now we pay $45 for everything — scheduling, CRM, SMS, payroll. I do not know why I waited so long."
"The per-user fees made us hesitate to give part-time staff their own logins. With Animal Friends OS, everyone has their own account with proper permissions. No more sharing passwords."
"Time To Pet is fine for dog walking, but we added grooming and boarding services and it could not keep up. Animal Friends OS handles all four of our service lines in one platform for $45."
