MyPetSitter vs Gingr
Gingr is excellent for large US boarding kennels and big daycare facilities. For UK small-to-medium boarders and dog walkers, the £91/mo starting price is hard to justify when MyPetSitter Boarder (£48) covers the same core features.

Why switch from Gingr
The specific things MyPetSitter does that Gingr doesn't — or charges a lot more for.
Half the price of Gingr Starter
Gingr Starter ~£91/mo. MyPetSitter Boarder £48/mo for the same boarding + daycare scope, with DEFRA compliance UK Gingr lacks.
UK-specific compliance
DEFRA module, sickness-fee cancellation, extreme-weather policy. Gingr targets US regulations.
Branded customer-facing app
MPS Branding add-on (£19) gives you a customer PWA. Gingr's customer portal is Gingr-branded.
Walking support natively
MPS Pro tier covers walks + boarding + daycare in one platform. Gingr is boarding/daycare-only — walking businesses need a separate tool.
Modern UX
MPS PWA + React 19. Gingr's UI is mature but feels heavier; many tabs, many clicks.
Where Gingr is ahead
We won't pretend they don't have any advantages.
Multi-location boarding facilities
Gingr is built for chains with 3+ kennel locations — its multi-location dashboard is more mature than MPS's today.
Larger market presence
Gingr has thousands of US kennels — more public reviews + integrations.
Switching from Gingr is easier than you think
Gingr export covers customers, pets, bookings, invoices. Import takes a day for a 200+ client boarding facility, with original pricing preserved.
