When you first start out, it’s easy to get by with a patchwork of tools. A scheduling app here, a payment platform there, and maybe a paper calendar to hold it all together. But as your pet-care business grows — more clients, more staff, more moving parts — you need more than just tools. You need a system that works as hard as you do.

That’s why top-performing boarding facilities, dog daycares, grooming salons, and training centers are switching to Gingr. Here's what makes Gingr the software pet-care professionals can't live without.

All-in-One Software Trusted by Pros Who’ve Outgrown Busywork

Let’s be honest — most pet-care platforms are either:

  • Cobbling together third-party integrations, or
  • Overbuilt with features you’ll never use.

Gingr is different. We’ve built an intuitive, cloud-based platform that gives you everything you need to run your business—without the fluff.

What’s Included:

  • Online booking with automated reminders
  • Digital waivers, vaccinations, and client uploads
  • Built-in marketing tools to re-engage pet parents
  • Retail and inventory management
  • Integrated payments
  • Business analytics you’ll actually use

Your software should do more than organize your schedule — it should help your business grow.

Built-In Revenue Boosters

Gingr’s powerful built-in features help you boost revenue with ease:

  • Gingr PreCheck adds $15–$25 per reservation while saving 5+ minutes per check-in
  • Demand-based pricing lets you charge more for peak days automatically
  • Memberships and packages help increase client retention and lifetime value
  • Upsell opportunities like tipping, retail, and report cards baked right into checkout

Compare that to other platforms where  dynamic pricing and upsells are either missing or hidden behind expensive add-ons.

Designed with Pet Parents in Mind

When pet parents are happy, they come back — and refer their friends. Customer loyalty is a pillar of pet-care business success, and Gingr makes it easy to deliver an experience they’ll love with features like:

  • Mobile-friendly booking
  • Easy access to report cards, invoices, and reminders
  • Photo and video updates
  • “I’m here” curbside check-ins
  • Seamless document uploads

Compare that to other outdated platforms where pet parent tools are clunky, outdated, or missing entirely, and you're at risk of falling behind the curve.

"It’s a great option for pet parents to self-serve their pet’s needs seamlessly on their own without having to deal with a person. This saves time, which equals money. Gingr has helped us achieve our goals and increase our income!”
— Josh, Pittsburgh Pet Concierge

Real Support From Real People

We teach dogs not to bed at the dinner table, and you shouldn’t need to beg for support when things get busy.

At Gingr, you get:

  • U.S.-based onboarding with up to 6 months of customer success support
  • Responsive, knowledgeable phone, chat, and email help
  • Ongoing updates and improvements based on your feedback

Many competitors only offer limited email or chatbot support, and reviews often mention long wait times.

"If you want to be stuck in the 90s and take your chances with a legacy product, there are dozens of options. But if you want a sleek, full-featured offering with new features and well-thought-out execution coupled with terrific support, then you will want to try Gingr. It is hands down the best I've seen."
—Gil, K9 Loft

Data-Driven Decisions, Made Easy

With Gingr’s Business Analytics, you can:

  • Monitor revenue by service, staff, or location
  • Track occupancy, repeat visits, and conversion rates
  • Make smarter staffing and scheduling decisions

Meanwhile, many newer competitors still struggle to offer reliable dashboards — especially ones tailored for multi-location growth.
