Free online booking and scheduling for solo and small service businesses
Time To Pet is built for pet care companies with staff. If it's just you, 1MinuteBooking books walks, visits, overnights and boarding for free.
Pick Pet Sitter at sign-up and your page starts with these. Every price and limit can be changed.
Set how many pets you board a night, 4 to start. Clients pick their nights, and a start date only shows when every night of the stay still has room. Each extra dog takes its own spot.
A boarding stay or a daycare day holds only its drop-off time on your calendar, so you can still book walks and visits around it.
A second dog on a walk is +$8, an extra pet on an overnight +$10 a night, an extra boarder +$50 a night. The client sees the total add up before they book.
One booking covers the same walk or drop-in every day for up to 21 days to start (you can raise it to 90), with each day held on your calendar and priced per visit.
Every booking asks how you'll get in (someone home, key, lockbox or code) and the pets' names, ages and care notes. A free Meet & Greet is on the menu to start.
Visits at the client's home are priced by distance zone, and the far zone waits for you to confirm. The drive blocks your calendar without being added to the visit.
Check this list first. If you need any of it, Time To Pet is the better fit.
Time To Pet has a staff app, GPS tracking and visit updates. One 1MinuteBooking account is one person, with no visit reports.
Our confirmations and reminders go by email only. On the free plan, up to 5 automatic client emails go out a day.
Cards aren't saved, so clients aren't charged automatically. They pay a deposit or the full price when they book, or from a payment link you send.
Clients manage each booking from the link in their email (reschedule or cancel, if you allow it), but there's no login with their whole history.
Each booking has its own printable invoice that becomes a receipt once it's paid. There's no monthly invoice across several visits.
No integrations. Pro exports your bookings and clients to Excel, and calendar sync works on every plan.

Stay with Time To Pet if you have walkers to schedule, your clients expect visit reports with photos, or you bill regulars monthly with saved cards.
Use 1MinuteBooking if it's just you, you want boarding and daycare limits without paying $79 a month for a facility plan, and clients paying a deposit when they book suits you. At $25 to $50 a month, Time To Pet costs $300 to $600 a year that you keep instead.
For a solo sitter or walker, yes. 1MinuteBooking is free with no time limit: walks, drop-ins, overnights, boarding and daycare with nightly limits, extra-pet pricing and card deposits. It doesn't have Time To Pet's staff app, GPS tracking, visit reports or text messaging.
Yes, on the free plan. Each boarding or daycare service has a limit per night or day, counted in pets or bookings: 4 boarders a night and 5 dogs a day to start. A date only shows when it still has room, and extra dogs from the same home take their own spots.
Yes. One booking covers the same walk or visit every day for up to 21 days to start (you can raise it to 90), with each day held on your calendar. For regular weekly walks, you repeat a booking every 1 to 4 weeks, up to 26 visits, from New booking.
No. There are no visit reports, GPS check-ins or photo updates. Text or message your clients the way you do now. If visit reports matter to your clients, Time To Pet does that well.
