Switch to Dog Walker Central — free migration included
Coming from Time To Pet, Precise Petcare, Pet Sitter Plus, Pet Pocketbook, or another platform? The Switch & Save program includes data import, schedule re-confirmation, and team training at no extra cost.
What's included in Switch & Save
Data migration
Import clients, pets, services, and historic appointments from a CSV export of your current platform. Most imports complete in one business day.
Schedule re-confirmation
Recurring schedules, time windows, sitter assignments, and pricing are verified after import to make sure everything matches the original.
Stripe reconnection
If your current platform uses Stripe, the same Stripe account is reconnected without re-onboarding clients or re-entering payment methods.
Compare your three-year total cost of ownership
The Switch & Save calculator compares Dog Walker Central Pro with five pet care software platforms using your active staff count and client count. It shows estimated monthly subscription costs, three-year totals, and the difference from Dog Walker Central.
Dog Walker Central Pro
The estimate starts with the Pro monthly base price and adds tiered seat charges above the included team members. There are no client-count tiers. Three-year subscription cost is the estimated monthly cost multiplied by 36.
Your current platform
Competitor estimates use the relevant staff or client-count pricing tier. Three-year cost is the estimated monthly subscription multiplied by 36, plus any listed setup fee. Competitor pricing in the calculator was captured from published vendor pricing pages on April 25, 2026; confirm current rates with each vendor before deciding.
This is a subscription and setup-fee comparison, not a quote for every business expense or a guarantee of savings. Your results depend on team size, client count, and the applicable plan.
