## About the vendor

- **Company**: Petboost

## Commercial Context

- **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: Flexible, transparent pricing built for pet businesses of all sizes.

Petboost offers three subscription tiers designed for different business stages, with no hidden fees, no per-seat charges, and no module unlock costs. Choose the plan that fits your business today and upgrade as you grow.

Calendar Lite: $18/month flat for businesses who handle payments their own way and just need scheduling. Unlimited appointments, customer and pet profiles, team and resource management, and email reminders. No payment processing, SMS, automation, packages, or courses.

Business Pro: $65/month subscription plus 1.4% Petboost fee and 1.7% + $0.30 Stripe card processing per transaction. Designed for growing businesses ready to automate. Includes 300 appointments/month ($0.40/extra), 500 SMS/month, online booking portal, Stripe payments with card-on-file, lifecycle automation, prepaid packages, course management, and more. Process $7,500+/month in card payments and your subscription is waived entirely.

Business Max: $240/month subscription plus 1.4% Petboost fee and 1.7% + $0.30 Stripe card processing per transaction. Designed for established, high-volume operations. Unlimited appointments (no caps, no overage fees), 1,000 SMS/month, and no fees for cash or bank transfer payments. Process $25,000+/month in card payments and your subscription is waived entirely.

Localised payment processing: Petboost uses Stripe Connect, which means Australian businesses get local card processing rates (1.7% + $0.30 for domestic cards). Many US-based competitors process payments internationally, resulting in 3-5%+ fees for Australian businesses due to cross-border and currency conversion charges. With Petboost, you pay Australian rates for Australian cards.

All plans include unlimited team members with no per-seat fees. Unlike competitors charging $15-50 per additional staff member, Petboost never charges extra as your team grows.

New businesses get special support. If your ABN is less than 3 months old, you qualify for the New Business Booster program: 6 months subscription fee-free plus a 28-day launch period with 0% Petboost transaction fees.

You can choose how fees are handled: pass on all, some, or none to your clients. Many businesses add a small surcharge to offset fees entirely.

No long-term contracts. No setup fees. No data migration fees. Cancel anytime. Start with a 14-day free trial (no credit card required).

A plan for every stage: whether you just need a pet-friendly calendar or you're running a high-volume operation, there's a Petboost plan designed for your business.

## Reviews

### "Petboost has completely transformed the way we run our business." — 5.0/5

> **Annika** | *4 July 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Petboost’s booking engine is unlike anything else we’ve come across. It handles complex requirements like dog size, breed restrictions, desexing status, suburb eligibility, service-specific limits, and even public holiday overrides — all with zero friction.

What really stands out is how it manages initial vs. return visits. We offer services that require more time or assessment on the first appointment, and Petboost has this built-in — meaning no manual workarounds or awkward notes.

Their approach to cancellations and no-shows is best in class. They securely store card details on file, check for available funds a few days before the appointment, and automatically notify both us and the owner if payment might be an issue. This has saved us hundreds in lost revenue.

Reminders are baked into the platform. Owners get timely texts and emails in the lead-up to their appointment, reducing our manual admin dramatically. These reminders — plus SMS and email — are all included in the flat fee. No hidden costs, no per-message charges for reminder SMS.

The self-service experience for owners is simple and intuitive. New customers can see real-time availability and book in minutes. Since Petboost launched its new 2025 platform, our online bookings have jumped significantly. It’s a no-brainer for both mobile and fixed-location businesses.

Petboost has clearly been built by someone who gets the day-to-day of running a pet services business. Everything from recurring bookings to handling multi-pet households to adjusting appointment durations and buffer times — it’s all there. Set-up is easy, changes are seamless, and cancellation workflows are straightforward. They've thought of everything.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing missing right now is a ‘report card’ feature where we could send a summary with photos and notes after each appointment. That said, Petboost already lets us upload appointment notes and images that owners can view any time. We know this feature is in the works — and when it lands, it'll be the cherry on top.
> 
> Petboost has become the operational backbone of Hound Health Bondi. It’s allowed us to automate admin, reduce no-shows, and provide a smoother experience for both customers and staff. It’s also given us the flexibility to grow without worrying about whether the system can keep up. The support team is responsive, updates are regular, and new features are rolled out with real intention.

Highly recommend for any pet business — grooming, daycare, training, walking — whether you’re solo or have a full team. 

It just works.

### "A Game-Changer for Streamlining My Pet Business" — 5.0/5

> **Camille** | *21 November 2024* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about PetBoost is its all-in-one platform that has streamlined so many aspects of my business. The ability to provide clients with a dedicated space for notes, training plans, and feedback on their appointment cards has been invaluable. It has improved communication, organisation, and the ability to tailor support to each dog and guardian's needs. Additionally, the automated invoicing feature has been a huge time-saver, and the multiple payment options have made processes smoother for both me and my clients
> 
> My overall experience with PetBoost has been exceptional. The platform has not only streamlined my operations and saved me time, but it has also helped me build stronger relationships with my clients by keeping everything organised and accessible. \[sensitive content hidden\] and the PetBoost team have been incredibly supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in the success of my business. I couldn’t recommend this platform more highly to anyone looking to elevate their pet business. It’s been a true game-changer for me and Trail Sniffers.
