Nuzzo vs Time To Pet

Time To Pet is a capable incumbent. It's been around a long time and has a loyal base. We're a newer, phone-first alternative with flat pricing and a tighter feature set. Here's the honest breakdown so you can pick what fits.

Pick Nuzzo if…

You want phone-first simplicity — the app lives in your pocket.
You want flat per-tier pricing that doesn't climb as you grow pets.
You care about the client experience (photo reports, magic-link portal).
You value clean UX more than maximum configurability.
You're in your first five years of running your business.

Pick Time To Pet if…

You've been on it five years and your workflow is locked in.
You need every micro-configurable setting and edge-case policy.
You have a large staff and depend on their specific permission model.
You'd rather invest in training staff on a mature tool than switch.
You rely on features Nuzzo hasn't shipped yet (we're upfront about scope).

Where Time To Pet genuinely wins

We want you to pick the right tool, not just pick us. Here's where Time To Pet is ahead today:

Staff permissions depth
They have more granular role controls. If your shop needs tiered access for office managers vs field staff, TTP is more flexible today.
Enterprise-grade reporting
Their advanced reports (dollar-weighted revenue, staff commissions, tax summaries) are more mature. We'll get there — but today, they're ahead.
Established integrations
15+ years of integrations (QuickBooks, various booking widgets). We export CSV and expose webhooks; deeper native integrations are on our roadmap.
Longevity
They're not going anywhere, and their support team knows the domain cold. If longevity matters more than price to you, that's legitimate.

Where Nuzzo wins

Mobile experience
The field UI is built for the thumb, not the mouse. Two taps to start a visit, two to send a report card. The day-to-day workflow is minutes-per-day shorter.
Pricing clarity
Flat tiers by team-size band. You'll never get a “your plan went up because you have more pets now” email.
Client experience
Magic-link portal (no passwords), inline photo grids in report cards, a live-feed mode for overnight stays. Pet parents forward our report cards to their friends.
Setup speed
You'll have your first real invoice sent in under 20 minutes. We measure it.
Pace of shipping
Public roadmap, public changelog, weekly improvements. We tell you what's shipping and when.

Moving from Time To Pet

1. Export clients + pets from TTP — they have a CSV export in Settings → Data.
2. Start your Nuzzo trial — no card required.
3. CSV-import clients on your first dashboard visit. Pets come with.
4. Run both side-by-side for a week. Send new clients' report cards through Nuzzo; finish existing ones on TTP.
5. Flip fully when your weekly invoice cycle rolls over. Cancel TTP.

Most owners run parallel for a billing cycle. Zero lost data on either side.
