Built for How Pet Businesses Work

Different businesses need different pricing. We don't charge more for extra staff or selling packages.

Right-Sized Pricing

Growing businesses start with Pro. Established operations choose Max for all-inclusive pricing. Same features, different models.

No Hidden Fees. No Paywalled Basics.

No per-seat charges. No module unlocks. No paywalled reports. Every team member gets full access. Every report is included. The only optional add-ons are Power-Up Boosters: extra SMS credits and a dedicated phone number for 2-way SMS.

Pass Fees to Customers

Add a small fee to invoices and pay $0 in Petboost fees yourself. Most customers don't notice or mind.

How We Compare

Most pet software charges $100-400 AUD/month, then adds 2-5% transaction fees, then charges extra for SMS, packages, reports, and staff logins. Here's how we compare.

Trusted by Australian Pet Businesses

"Best in market software for Pet Care industries"

"Support is amazing and the software is the best on market for pet industries. I've worked in software and marketing prior to owning my own pet care business, and could tell immediately that Petboost was something unique. There is nothing I dislike about Petboost: the owner and developer, Frazer, is making constant improvements, so I'm sure any small areas of opportunity are being addressed. We needed a system to improve efficiency with scheduling, notifications, communication and customer experience, and Petboost delivers that."

"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."

"Clear, Client-Friendly Booking Tool with Responsive Support"

"As a dog trainer it is difficult to find software that does all of the things that you need it to do. Petboost is tailored specifically to the animal industry having features that no other booking system I have used previously has. I have worked in the industry for a number of years in grooming, daycare & training & have always had to use a mish mash of a number of systems & trackers to book & collect money. For my training business this software does everything I need it to do so I don't have to keep track of a number of different aspects across various platforms. It has simplified my life immensely."

"I no longer have to chase clients for late payments"

"Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually."

"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'."
