PetExec and Time To Pet are both established pet care platforms, but they're built for different businesses: PetExec is a quote-based, facility-first system (third-party sources report starting prices around $105/month) aimed at boarding, daycare, and grooming operations, while Time To Pet publishes its prices ($25–50/month solo tiers, $40/month team base plus $16 per active user) and is built around in-home sitting and walking businesses. The right choice depends less on features than on what kind of business you run — and, increasingly, on how comfortable you are with each company's direction.
Quick comparison
| PetExec | Time To Pet | |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | No public pricing page; quote-based | Yes — Lite $25, Solo $50, Team $40 + $16/user |
| Reported starting price | ~$105/month (third-party reported) | $25/month |
| Pricing model | Per facility, quote-based | Per active user |
| Best fit | Boarding/daycare facilities, multi-service facilities | In-home sitting and dog walking |
| Client portal | Included | Included |
| Contract | Annual, quote-based | Monthly, cancel anytime |
Pricing figures are from third-party software directories (GetApp, Software Advice both list PetExec starting at $105/month) and Time To Pet's published plans; PetExec doesn't publish a public pricing page, so treat its numbers as reported rather than confirmed.
The PetExec situation worth knowing before you sign
Two things about PetExec come up repeatedly in research and are worth verifying directly with the vendor:
- It was acquired by Togetherwork in November 2024, and industry sources report it is no longer taking new customers and is steering inquiries toward Gingr — its sister product in the same portfolio. If you're evaluating it as a new customer, that's the first question to ask.
- Pricing is per-facility and quote-based, with reported starting points around $105–129/month for boarding-plus-grooming facilities. Some customers have reported an added payment-processing gateway fee since the acquisition.
None of this makes PetExec a bad product — facilities that run on it tend to like it. But it changes the buying calculus: you may be evaluating a product that isn't actively onboarding new customers, on a contract you have to call to price.
Time To Pet: transparent, but per-seat
Time To Pet's virtue is that the pricing is on the website: a Lite plan at $25/month, a Solo plan at $50/month, and a Team plan at $40/month plus $16 per active user. The per-seat part is the catch for growing businesses — the same per-staff model that shows up in review after review as costs climbing quickly as a team grows. A three-person team pays around $72/month on the Team plan, and every hire after that adds $16/month, forever. We broke the full math down in pet sitting software prices compared.
Feature-wise, TTP is deep on the in-home sitting workflow: scheduling, client communication, invoicing, and reporting. Solo sitters often find the $50 Solo plan more than they need and the $25 Lite plan missing things they want — the awkward middle the pricing was criticized for.
Who each one fits
- Boarding or daycare facility with multiple locations and staff roles: PetExec was purpose-built for facility operations — if you can get a quote and the product roadmap concerns you, Gingr (same owner) is the successor path, though Gingr's facility pricing runs higher still.
- Growing sitting business with staff: Time To Pet is the established choice, with the per-seat cost curve to match.
- Solo sitter or small team watching costs: both are arguably over-built. A solo operator on TTP's Solo plan is paying $600/year for headroom they may not use — which is the exact gap flat-rate tools target.
The flat-rate alternative
PetAmigo sits deliberately on the other side of the pricing model: $19/month for a solo professional and $49/month for an agency with 3 seats included — no per-user fees, no quote calls, published prices. It covers scheduling, client management, visit logs, and invoicing, and every client can be invited into a free portal. If you're comparing tools, the honest breakdown of what the major platforms actually cost is in pet sitting software prices compared, and the per-seat critique in full is in per-seat pricing is broken.
