Pet Check's flagship feature is GPS tracking — clients see a polyline of where their dog went. Nuzzo is full business software — bookings, photo report cards, auto-invoicing, client portal. The question isn't “which one wins?” It's “which job are you trying to do?”

GPS route map
Their core thing. Clients see a polyline showing where the walker took their dog. For walkers who use this as a sales tool, it's real differentiation.
Proof-of-service timestamping
Start/stop timestamps with GPS location are automatically attached to each walk. Useful for disputes, billing, or compliance-y clients.
Walk-focused simplicity
If you only do dog walks, the UI is narrower and simpler because it doesn't cover pet sitting, overnights, daycare, or boarding.
Actually runs the business
Invoicing, payments, scheduling, client portal, staff assignment — all in one app. Pet Check tracks walks; you still need something else to bill for them.
Multi-service
Walks, drop-ins, overnight sits, boarding. If you do anything beyond dog walks, we cover it.
Predictable pricing
$29/mo flat. No per-walk, per-walker, or per-client creep.
Photo-forward report cards
Clients care more about “Bella had fun” and a great photo than a squiggly line on a map. We lean into that.
Client portal with no passwords
Magic-link login. Clients forward your report cards to family — that's free marketing.
These tools solve different jobs. If you absolutely need a route map for every walk — Pet Check. If you need a complete business tool that handles bookings, payments, and client communication — Nuzzo. Some walkers use both (Pet Check for the walk itself, something else for invoicing). We think one tool that does the whole job is usually worth more than the best-in-class single feature.
