    “For years WoofPack ran across Notion, Excel, and WhatsApp, three separate tools I was stitching together by hand. PetBoard brought Notion and Excel into one place and kept WhatsApp where it already worked: new sitters get a link, they’re in the same group as the parent, no app, no tutorial.”

    “I needed to know my clients’ data was safe before I put it anywhere digital. PetBoard built proper privacy protections into the product — my data stays mine, it’s not shared across operators, and I can export or delete it anytime.”

    “While PetBoard is gradually taking shape, I would like to share a word for Sahil, who has been on his feet building the platform from the ground up. Can’t imagine where it was just a few weeks back when we started chatting, and in this short period of time — from understanding the business requirements to designing and developing the platform — the output is phenomenal. He has been shipping deliverables every few hours, which I didn’t know was even possible. His agility, steadfastness and passion will see PetBoard as an industry leader in times to come.”

    “We’ve had the opportunity to see PetBoard evolve from a very basic platform into a comprehensive pet boarding management solution that now captures even the smallest operational details. Watching this growth has been truly impressive. Our experience has been excellent throughout. The platform continues to improve with every update, making daily operations smoother and more efficient. What stands out the most is the incredible support team. They don’t just claim to offer 24×7 support—they genuinely deliver. On one occasion, they even resolved an urgent issue for us at 1:00 AM, which speaks volumes about their dedication and commitment to their customers. A big congratulations to the entire PetBoard team on the fantastic work. We highly recommend PetBoard to any pet boarding business looking for a reliable, constantly evolving software backed by an exceptional support team.”

Heads up on timing

Tier pricing is Solo ₹199 / Growth ₹499 / Pro ₹999 per month. The first 50 operators (cohort 1, closed May 15, 2026) locked their rates forever; new signups pay the same starting rates but are subject to future change.

Why operators choose petboard

You run pet boarding, daycare, training, sitter networks, grooming or a vet clinic in India, or several of these under one login.
You need training-module depth: per-exercise ratings, cumulative session reports, package consumption.
You need boarding-specific depth: peak/seasonal pricing, kennel/run capacity, package-overflow billing, care-task photo sign-off.
You sell prepaid packages or passes and need live consumption tracking, reserved-at-booking holds, and automatic overflow-to-regular-rate billing.
You want automatic late-checkout fees you can waive in one tap — with a GST-correct credit note when the fee was taxed.
You run park/pool day-visits, daycare, or grooming alongside boarding and want each billed by its own rules.
You run two-way care updates through your own WhatsApp number — no paid add-on, no separate app for pet parents to download.
You want a migration path documented in writing and handled by the vendor for you, with proven large imports.
You want predictable INR tier pricing with documented mechanics.

Questions you probably have

Is Happy Pet Tech a cheaper option than petboard?
petboard tier pricing starts at ₹199/month for solo operators, ₹499/month for growing teams, and ₹999/month per branch for facilities. The first 50 operators (cohort 1, closed May 15, 2026) locked these rates forever; new signups pay the same starting rates but are subject to change. We do not publish Happy Pet Tech's pricing here — beyond sticker price, the more useful comparison is feature fit: depth in boarding, training, and sitter-network coordination differs between the two tools.
Can Happy Pet Tech users migrate to petboard?
Yes. Export your Happy Pet Tech clients as a CSV or Excel file, upload it under Import your clients on your dashboard, and we import it for you under a signed chain-of-custody record aligned with India's DPDP Act. No per-record migration fee.
Why would a grooming business pick Happy Pet Tech instead of petboard?
petboard has a dedicated grooming module — size × coat price variants, per-pet pricing, and standalone GST invoices (SAC 998612). Happy Pet Tech is grooming-first across several verticals, so if grooming is your entire business its breadth there is mature. petboard fits best when grooming runs alongside boarding, daycare, or training, where its kennel-native depth and updates from your own WhatsApp number are the differentiators.
Does petboard work outside India?
Not today. petboard is priced in INR, hosted in Mumbai, and governed under India DPDP. Happy Pet Tech supports multiple countries with multi-currency. If you operate only in India, that breadth is not a differentiator.
How does the parent app experience compare?
Happy Pet Tech ships a native Android + iOS parent app. petboard uses a branded web link and routes photo/video updates through the operator's own WhatsApp number. Which works better depends on your pet parent base. Operators whose parents already communicate on WhatsApp typically prefer petboard's no-download model.
