MyPetSitter vs Pet Sitter Plus
Pet Sitter Plus is a mature UK platform that has been serving pet sitters and dog walkers since 2014. It does the core scheduling and invoicing well, but its UX is dated and it lacks the modern PWA + branding tools that have become the new standard.

Why switch from PSP
The specific things MyPetSitter does that Pet Sitter Plus doesn't — or charges a lot more for.
Branded customer app, not a generic portal
Your business name on every client phone, custom domain, your colours. Pet Sitter Plus shows their branding to your clients — yours appears below in small print.
Modern UX, instant updates
React 19 + PWA-first means every improvement reaches your team the moment we ship — no app store reviews, no waiting. PSP runs on an older stack with quarterly release cycles.
Card payments architected better
MyPetSitter uses Stripe Connect Direct Charge — your customers pay the exact invoiced amount, no processing fee surcharge added at checkout. PSP routes Stripe through a separate pass-through where customers see the markup.
PupBook + Pupdates with photos
Social wall + daily care logs your clients actually engage with. PSP has the report-card concept but no social/emotional layer.
AI Logo Studio + Website Builder included
You don't need to hire a designer to look professional. PSP needs you to bring your own assets.
Where PSP is ahead
We won't pretend they don't have any advantages.
Live GPS routes
PSP's walker app shows a live walking route to clients during the walk. We're bringing this to MPS soon.
Switching from Pet Sitter Plus is easier than you think
PSP exports clients + pet records as CSV. Our import flow accepts them with pricing-history preserved (so old invoices stay accurate). Stripe payment methods carry over by re-attaching to your MPS Connect account — clients re-confirm with one tap.
