We're not launching to thousands. We're partnering with 25 Bay Area dog care businesses who want to help build the best pet care platform in the world.
Full product. No feature limits. No subscription fee. No Pet Zen processing fees. Staff seats included. No credit card. Stripe's standard fee still applies.
We set up your account, add your dogs, and train your team ourselves.
Text, call, or email RJ directly. Your feedback goes straight to the person building this.
Feature requests from founding partners get priority. You're building this with us.
Solo operators (walkers, sitters, independent daycares) lock in at $29/mo. Multi-staff businesses lock in at $99/mo + $19/staff. Your rate never goes up, no matter what we charge new customers.
We'll feature your business on our site and in our marketing (with your permission).
Know another dog care business that should be in? Refer them and earn a free subscription month for each one that joins. Stack as many as you want. Processing fee waiver is founding-only — referral rewards cover your subscription.
No surprises. Here's exactly what Pet Zen costs when we launch paid plans.
Founding partners lock in these rates forever. Stripe's fee (2.9% + $0.30/transaction) always applies separately — that goes to Stripe, not us.
Tell us what works, what doesn't, and what you wish existed. That's the whole point.
If you love it, 1-2 sentences about your experience. Takes 2 minutes.
Share a screenshot or shoutout anytime during your first month. That's it.
All optional. We won't revoke your access. We trust our founding partners.

Everything you need to know before booking a call.
Pet Zen is a care communication platform for professional dog walkers, pet sitters, daycares, and boarding facilities. You snap a photo, tap a few quick actions, and Pet Zen creates a personalized update for each dog's owner in under 30 seconds. No more typing the same thing 15 times a day.
Texting is unstructured, untracked, and unprofessional. Pet Zen gives every update a timestamp, a photo, health context, and a beautiful format owners actually want to receive. It also builds a health timeline for every dog — something no text thread can do.
Rover and Wag are marketplaces that take 20-40% of your earnings. Pet Zen takes 3.5% — you keep 96.5%. Time To Pet does one thing: scheduling. Pet Zen is the complete pet care platform — care updates, health tracking, client communication, billing, and payments. Scheduling is on the roadmap. We're not building to coexist with Time To Pet. We're building to replace it.
No download required for owners. They receive updates via push notification or email, and can view everything on the web. The ones who do install the app get a richer experience — but it's never required.
The core experience is always free for pet owners — real-time care updates, photos, messaging, and their pet's care history, no cost, no account required. We're also building a personal pet health tracking app for owners who want to monitor their pets at home (coming soon, $4.99/mo). Two different products, one ecosystem.
Solo walkers and sitters convert to $29/mo. Daycares and teams convert to $99/mo + $19 per staff seat. Founding partners lock in these rates forever — even if we raise prices for future customers. Pet Zen's processing fee kicks back in (3.5% for solo, 2.5% for business). Stripe's fee always applies separately.
For now, yes. We're starting with 25 founding partners in the San Francisco Bay Area so we can provide personal onboarding and support. We'll expand to other cities once we've nailed the founding partner experience.
Never. Your clients stay yours. We don't share your client list, sell it, or contact your clients on your behalf. Pet Zen is built security-first by a cybersecurity-certified founder — your business relationships are always private.
Yes. The care communication, health tracking, and photo updates work for any pet. Our founding program is focused on dog professionals, but cat sitters, rabbit sitters, and small animal caretakers are welcome — and will get the same full Pro access.
Join the 25 founding businesses building the future of pet care communication. Free for 3 months. Personal onboarding. Your voice shapes the product.
