“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.”

“Signed up and was running my training and boarding bookings on petboard the same evening. Does what I need without getting in the way.”

Heads up on timing

petboard is free for every operator during beta. Tier pricing after beta 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 are switching

No parent app
This was the biggest complaint about Pettle. Parents didn't want to download it. With petboard, they get a link. That's it.
WhatsApp-native
Photo updates go straight to WhatsApp groups. No Cloud API approval, no Meta verification, no waiting months for a phone number.
Your data stays yours
Photos and videos stay on WhatsApp, never stored on our servers. Client data is isolated per operator. Export or delete anytime. It's in writing.
Simple, not bloated
Built for Indian pet operators running 5 to 30 pets. Set up in 5 minutes, not 5 days. You don't need an ERP.
Free during beta
Tier pricing starts at Rs 199/month after that. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Questions you probably have

How do I move my data from Pettle?
Export your client list from Pettle if you can. We'll import whatever you have: spreadsheet, CSV, even a screenshot of your client list. Email it to hello@petboard.in and we do the rest.
How does the migration work?
Email us your export (or just a spreadsheet) at hello@petboard.in. We import your pet profiles, parent contacts, and booking history into petboard. We do the work. No charge.
How long does migration typically take?
Most operator migrations complete in 24 to 48 hours. Timing depends on export format and record volume. Recent imports have included over 1000 intake records and 10 dog profiles for a single operator in under a day. You will get a timeline estimate before migration starts.
Is petboard really free?
Free during beta, no strings. After that, tier pricing starts at Rs 199/month. You'll never be surprised by a bill.
Can I try petboard before committing?
Yes. PetBoard is free for every operator during beta. After beta, tier pricing starts at Rs 199/month. The first 50 operators (cohort 1) locked founder pricing forever, but cohort 1 closed May 15, 2026. New signups pay the same starting rates but those rates are subject to change.
What does petboard cost after the beta period?
Tier pricing starts after beta at Rs 199/month for Solo (up to 5 active pets per month), Rs 499 for Growth (up to 20 per month), and Rs 999 for Pro (unlimited). The forever-lock guarantee was for the first 50 operators (cohort 1); that cohort closed May 15, 2026.
What about my clients' privacy?
Your client data is isolated to your account. No cross-operator sharing, ever. Photos and videos stay on WhatsApp, not our servers. One-click zip export from Settings any time (CSVs + full JSON), delete anytime. We have a proper data processing agreement aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Parents get a link that opens in their browser. They can see stay details, care updates, and training progress without downloading anything.
Which cities does petboard support?
PetBoard is pan-India. Active operators span Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi-NCR, Vadodara, and Guwahati. The product is not city-specific; any Indian pet operator can sign up.
Does petboard handle GST invoicing?
Yes. GST-compliant invoicing with CGST and SGST split, sequential invoice numbers, SAC codes, and amount in words. Activated per operator on request.
