A Fully Hands-Free Appointment from Booking to Payment
Chain all six automations for a complete, touchless appointment lifecycle.
Imagine an appointment that confirms itself, starts on time, completes on schedule, finalises its invoice, and charges the customer card, all without you touching a thing. Petboost lifecycle automation chains six steps together so your bread-and-butter appointments run entirely on autopilot.
Each appointment requires multiple manual actions: confirm, update status to in progress, mark complete, generate the invoice, charge the card, and send the receipt. Multiply that by 15 appointments a day and you are drowning in admin.

AutomationInstant confirmation secures the booking the moment it is made.

"The customer service is out of this world"
"You won't regret joining…it's the best. I own a dog daycare, grooming and training. I was using an American company for 6 years, which was ok but expensive, not a great system and to get any support took days. When I came to Petboost which is Ozzy owned I knew they were a small business but wanted to give them a go. I have been extremely impressed, the customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients. The pricing structure makes sense and is very affordable, it is very easy to use and navigate, and the way they have built the business reports and analytics is so impressive, easy to understand and personalised."

"The automatic payments feature is a blessing"
"Streamlined Invoicing and Booking for Small Teams. I really like how much quicker and easier Petboost Business has become after the upgrades. The automatic payments feature is a blessing as it helps me not to stress, and the self-booking option for clients is amazing for my business! These features ease the mental load and reduce manual admin tasks, allowing me to focus on what I do best."

"I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show"
"Just try it, you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'."
