Nuzzo vs Precise Petcare
Precise Petcare includes every feature on every plan and prices by how many active staff you have. Nuzzo is a newer, phone-first alternative with two plans and fewer settings, so solo sitters and small teams can set up in minutes. Precise costs less at the sizes Nuzzo covers, so this page is about fit, not price.
What Precise Petcare costs
Precise Petcare starts at $20/mo for one person. Every plan has every feature; the price is set by your active staff count: $45/mo for 2 to 5 staff, $90 for 6 to 10, $160 for 11 to 20, $200 for 21 to 30, $250 for 31 to 50, $315 for 51 to 100, and $390 for 101 or more. Annual billing takes 5% off, and there's a 30-day free trial that doesn't ask for a card.
For comparison, Nuzzo is $29/mo solo and $79/mo for the owner plus up to five workers, and Time To Pet's Team plan is $40/mo plus $16 per active staff member. Full pricing comparison across all six.
Pricing as published on Precise Petcare's site in October 2026. Vendors change plans, so confirm the current figure with Precise Petcare before deciding.
So if price decides it, pick Precise: $20 versus $29 solo, and $45 versus $79 for a small team. It also has GPS, SMS and payroll, which Nuzzo doesn't. Nuzzo makes sense if you'd rather have a simpler phone-first app with a magic-link client portal, and none of those extras matter to you. Both are defensible.

Precise Petcare: common questions
How much does Precise Petcare cost?
Precise Petcare puts every feature on every plan and prices by how many active staff you have: $20 a month solo, $45 for 2 to 5 staff, $90 for 6 to 10, $160 for 11 to 20, $200 for 21 to 30, $250 for 31 to 50, $315 for 51 to 100 and $390 for 101 or more. Annual billing takes 5% off. There is a 30 day free trial with no card required. These are the prices on their site in October 2026, so confirm with Precise Petcare directly.
Does Precise Petcare charge per staff member?
Yes, in bands. The price is set by your active staff count, so going from 5 staff to 6 moves you from $45 to $90 a month. Within a band, adding a sitter does not change the price. Time To Pet and Scout charge a base fee plus a set amount for each staff member instead.
What is a good Precise Petcare alternative?
It depends on why you are looking. On price, Precise is hard to beat: it costs less than Nuzzo for one person ($20 vs $29) and for 2 to 5 staff ($45 vs $79). Nuzzo is worth a look if you want a simpler phone-first app with a magic-link client portal, and you can live without GPS, SMS and payroll. Time To Pet and Scout are the other common options, both priced per staff member.
