Choosing the Right Fit
Built for pet care vs. built for everyone. PocketSuite describes an all-in-one operating system for pet businesses, beauty, health and wellness, and home services. Gingr is designed for pet care alone, so every feature, from vaccination management to capacity management, is shaped around how boarding and daycare facilities run.
Boarding features are tiered. On PocketSuite, overnight and multi-day boarding reservations and kennel/suite/room scheduling start at the $149.99 Facility plan. Compare it to Gingr Stay ($154 annual / $179 monthly), which includes overnight reservations, a live kennel occupancy grid with smart auto-assignment, and feeding and medication tracking.
Your clients’ app. PocketSuite lists its pet family mobile app as optional. Gingr includes a native pet parent app with every plan.
