Switching from Time To Pet

A Time To Pet alternative for waste removal instead of pet sitting

Time To Pet is well loved software, but it is pet sitting software. If your trucks run scooping routes, you are borrowing a tool from an adjacent business, and the fit shows in the daily details.

Where Time To Pet is genuinely good

For pet sitting and dog walking companies, Time To Pet earns its reputation: strong client communication, visit report cards owners genuinely like, GPS tracked walks, and scheduling shaped around sitters visiting homes. In its own category it is a very good product.

Where it stops for this trade

Waste removal is route work, not visit work. Time To Pet has no route optimization for dense daily stop lists, no per dog waste pricing, no skip reason billing for rain days, and nothing for HOA waste stations or DNA compliance. HoundStack keeps the client friendly communication and builds the rest around the route.

The parts of HoundStack that close the gap

And the pricing model is different at the root: priced by operational complexity, with your first 3 teammates included on every plan and one more at $10 a month flat.

What the migration actually looks like

Time To Pet has a named, dedicated import tool in HoundStack. Four steps, and nothing is written to your account until you have seen a dry run summary.

  1. 1

    Upload or connect

    Export your data from Time To Pet and hand it to the Time To Pet importer. It knows Time To Pet's export format, so there is no reshaping files by hand.

  2. 2

    Preview the mapping

    Every field is shown mapped to its HoundStack destination before anything happens. Adjust the ones that need it.

  3. 3

    Dry run

    A full trial pass produces a summary of what would be created, changed, and flagged. Nothing is written yet.

  4. 4

    Confirm

    Happy with the dry run? Confirm, and the real import runs. Clients, dogs, schedules, and balances arrive ready to route.

Bring your book over without a lost weekend
