PackRounds vs Time To Pet
PackRounds publishes this page and sells one of the products on it.
In short
Time To Pet is built for pet care companies with staff. PackRounds is built for one person. Time To Pet does more, and it costs more. Every number below is quoted from a page we read on 2026-09-02, with the link next to it. If you have walkers to manage, Time To Pet is the better buy and we will not pretend otherwise.

What you get
The day, in walking order
Today lists your visits in the order you do them. The dog, the address, the gate code and the note you need at the door.
Clients book themselves
Share one link. Clients pick a service and a time that is really open. It lands on your calendar.
Card payments and tips
Clients can pay by card when they book. That runs through Stripe, once your Stripe account is linked. Or they pay you directly.
Client and pet records
Allergies, meds, vet and mood on each pet. Home access notes stay locked until you open them.
Read this first
We make one of these two products. So treat this page as a sales page with its homework shown, not as a review. Every Time To Pet figure here is quoted from a Time To Pet page we read on 2026-09-02. The link is next to each one. Go and check them.
They are not the same kind of tool
Time To Pet is built for pet care companies. Its own pages name staff roles, time off requests, pay stubs, GPS and bulk invoicing. That is the shape of a business with people on the road and someone at a desk.
PackRounds is built for one walker. There are no staff logins. There is no GPS. There is no invoicing. Those are not gaps we plan to close soon. They are the reason the app is small.
Where Time To Pet is the better buy
Pick Time To Pet if any of this is true:
- You have walkers or sitters on staff, now or soon.
- Clients want proof of location, so GPS matters.
- You invoice clients or run books in QuickBooks.
- You want an app your clients can download.
PackRounds cannot do any of those. Buying it and hoping would waste your month, and we would rather lose the sale here.
Where PackRounds fits
Pick PackRounds if this sounds like you:
- You walk every dog yourself.
- You want the paperwork to take ten minutes a week.
- You want a booking link and reminders that send themselves.
- You want to try it without a card.
The money, plainly
On 2026-09-02, the Time To Pet pricing page printed Lite at "$25/month" or "$250/year". Team printed "$40/month" plus "+$16/month per active staff". PackRounds is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year, for unlimited clients, with no per user charge.
PackRounds also has a free plan for up to 5 active clients, and asks for no card. Time To Pet printed a "14-day free trial" instead.
On both, the subscription is the cost. PackRounds takes 0% of your bookings. If a client pays by card, Stripe charges its own fee and we pass it through with nothing added.
A fair way to decide
Write down the five things your week actually needs. Then check both products against that list, on their own pages, not on ours. Prices change. Ours did.
If you are still working out the numbers, the route profit calculator will tell you what either price is worth against a real route. The dog walking software page has the full PackRounds feature list, including what it will not do.
Who PackRounds is not for
- A company with staff. Time To Pet has staff roles, time off and pay stubs. PackRounds has none of that.
- Anyone who needs GPS tracked visits. Time To Pet has GPS. PackRounds does not.
- Anyone who invoices clients. Time To Pet does invoices and QuickBooks. PackRounds does neither.
- Anyone who wants an app from the store. Time To Pet has two. PackRounds runs in the browser.
