Precise Petcare and PetPocketbook cost less than HQ at every size here. HQ competes on what it does for your day, not on the lowest price.
- Time To Pet
- Solo is $50. Office managers and admins always count as active staff. Annual billing is offered on Lite and Solo only.
- Scout
- Billed monthly. Paid annually, $33 plus $15 per active staff member.
- Pet Sitter Plus
- The rates its site shows by default. Solo is $30, bills cap at 25 staff, and new trials get half price for the first year.
- Precise Petcare
- $20 solo, $45 for 2 to 5 staff, $90 for 6 to 10, $160 for 11 to 20. A sixth person doubles the bill.
- PetPocketbook
- Your clients pay a 5% service fee on top of your price when they pay online, unless you cover it.
- GoHighLevel
- A general marketing CRM, not pet-care software. Starter is shown. Usage fees for email, texting and AI come on top.
Prices from each vendor's pricing page on 26 October 2026, billed monthly, before card fees and add-ons. HQ sized at about 20 active clients a walker.
What a cover walker costs.
A business with 5 walkers brings in 2 cover walkers for one week. The clients are the same, so the HQ bill stays at $79. Tools that bill per active staff member count all 7 people that month.
Per-staff tools count a cover walker as a full month's login, which is what Time To Pet and Precise Petcare say they do.
5 walkers and 2 cover walkers in one month
TopDogSF HQ: $79 in both months
Time To Pet: $120 in a usual month, $152 in the cover month
Scout: $129 in a usual month, $165 in the cover month
Pet Sitter Plus: $89 in a usual month, $115 in the cover month
Precise Petcare: $45 in a usual month, $90 in the cover month
PetPocketbook and GoHighLevel charge a flat price, so cover walkers do not change their bill either.
Switching from Time To Pet.
Connect Time To Pet with your API key and your clients and dogs come across. HQ only reads from Time To Pet, so nothing there changes.
Your first two months are free, so you can run both side by side before you decide. There is no setup fee. GoHighLevel users connect with an API key too, and their contacts come across.
How it worksQuestions about the comparison.
Does the owner or an admin cost anything?
No. Every login is free on every plan: you, your admins, your walkers and anyone covering a shift. Your bill changes only with the number of active clients.
What is an active client?
A household with at least one completed walk or visit in the month. Clients who are on file but had no walk or visit that month do not count.
What if my team is bigger than 20 walkers?
Company covers up to 400 active clients for $169 a month. Each extra 100 active clients, or part of 100, adds $35 a month. Every login stays free.
Are these prices current?
We read each vendor's own pricing page on 26 October 2026. Prices change, so check the source before you decide: Time To Pet, Scout, Pet Sitter Plus, Precise Petcare, PetPocketbook, GoHighLevel.
