The story behind MyPetHQ

One app for everyone who cares for other people's pets

MyPetHQ is a simple, affordable app that puts a pet sitter's or groomer's whole business in one place. Here's what it is, and why I built it.

What is MyPetHQ?

If you sit or groom pets for a living, you know the juggle: one place for your calendar, another for your invoices, a notes app for pet details, a spreadsheet for your money, and a group text to keep clients in the loop.

Spreadsheets Calendar apps Invoice tools Notes apps Scattered texts

MyPetHQ brings all of it into one app, built just for pet sitters and groomers.

Bookings & calendar Requests, appointments, and your availability, all in one view.
Invoices & payments Send invoices and get paid, with your income easy to see.
Pet profiles Feeding, vaccines, notes, and photos for every pet you care for.
Messages & photo updates Talk to clients and send pictures without sharing your personal number.
Pet sitting and grooming One app that works for both, whichever side of the business you run.
Team tools Business owners can add staff, assign clients, and keep everyone on track.

Clients get an app too, so they can book, pay, and see how their pet's day is going, all in the same place.

How it came to be

I'm the developer of MyPetHQ. I kept noticing the same thing: pet sitters and groomers using a bunch of different apps to keep track of their expenses, their pets, and their dates. Every app did one small piece, and none of them talked to each other.

It would be nice to have all of it in one app, and for it to be cheap.

It started close to home. I built MyPetHQ for my sister, who was running her business out of Excel and spreadsheets. Watching her piece it all together showed me how much time and energy goes into the paperwork around the work she loves.

I started building in June. What began as a way to make one person's week easier grew into an app for anyone who looks after pets for a living, and I'm proud of how it turned out.

What I hope you feel

I want opening MyPetHQ to feel like a small surprise: "Wait, it does all of that?" I want sitters and groomers to spend less time on admin, and more time with the animals. And I want you to love using it enough to tell a friend.
