Comparison
PetExec is shaped for pet care businesses centered on a building with daycare, boarding and grooming, while LeashReport is shaped for the walker whose office is a sidewalk between two apartment doors.
If your revenue depends on dogs coming to you, with check in and check out, kennel runs, feeding schedules and packages sold at a front desk, a facility oriented system is the right center of gravity and LeashReport cannot replace it. If your revenue depends on you going to the dogs, and the deliverable is what the owner reads at lunch, LeashReport fits the day you actually have. Some hybrid businesses run both, letting the facility software own the building and letting LeashReport own the walk route.
| What you are deciding | LeashReport | PetExec |
|---|---|---|
| Center of the business | The route. Stops, doorways, leash time and the report that follows each walk. | The facility. Dogs arriving, staying and leaving a building you operate. |
| Unit of work | One walk with a start, a GPS track, potty entries and photo cards. | A stay, a daycare day or an appointment tied to a location and a schedule. |
| Who is on the app | The walker, outside, one handed, often in rain or a stairwell. | Staff at a desk or on a floor inside the building, plus office users. |
| Owner communication | An automatic mapped report with photos and potty log after every walk. | Communication built around facility visits and the packages behind them. |
| Scope you have to configure | Dogs, owners and leash notes. Most walkers are sending reports the same day. | Broad, because a facility system has to describe rooms, services and staffing. |
| Pricing shape | Flat tiers at $19, $49 and $99 with no per walk cut. | Priced for a facility operation, so judge it against the parts of that operation you run. |
| Where it stops helping | We do not run boarding, kennel assignments or a front desk. | Route level GPS proof is not the problem a facility system exists to solve. |
| Best fit | Solo walkers and route based teams, including sitters who add midday walks. | Daycare, boarding and grooming businesses with a physical location. |
The right hand side describes where PetExec sits as a category and whose workflow it assumes. None of it stands still, so take the current position from them rather than from here. LeashReport is published by MLJ, SASU and this page is written by Jimenez Julien.
A facility system is organized around a building. It has to know which run a dog is in, who fed at 4 p.m., which package the stay draws down, and whether tomorrow is at capacity. That is a genuinely hard scheduling problem, and software built for it earns its place in a daycare or boarding business.
None of that maps cleanly onto a midday route. On a route there is no capacity board, no check in desk and no kennel. There is a walker with fourteen minutes between two buildings, a key that sticks, and an owner who wants to know that the dog went before she gets out of a meeting.
LeashReport is organized around the stop. It starts the GPS track when you clip the leash, keeps potty entries with times and a stool score, holds photo cards you can take in one tap, and sends the whole thing to the owner when you end the walk. The design target is a person standing outside in February, not a person at a desk.
That means the questions it answers are route questions. Was the walk the length the client pays for. Where did it go. Did the dog go, and did anything look wrong. When those are the questions your business lives on, a facility system is heavier than what you need.
Plenty of small pet care companies have a boarding side and a walking side, and they are honestly two different operations. It is common and reasonable to keep the facility running on facility software and let the walking route run on LeashReport, so the walkers never open a system built for kennel management.
If you go that route, keep one shared rule for owner communication: every client hears from you the same way about the same things. Owners do not care which system produced the message. They care that the 12:40 report shows up on the days they paid for a walk.
Often yes, and that is fine. The facility side needs capacity, runs and check in, which LeashReport does not do. The walking side needs GPS proof and an owner report, which is what LeashReport is for. Keep the owner experience consistent across both.
No. It records walks and sends walk reports, and that is the whole product. If overnights are a real part of your revenue, use software built for stays and let LeashReport cover the route work your walkers do.
The Pet Company tier at $99 is built for exactly that size, with per walker reporting and a shared route board. Above roughly twenty walkers you will want a fuller back office alongside it for scheduling and payroll.
Comparison
Time To Pet is aimed at pet care companies that want one system behind scheduling, billing and staff, while LeashReport is aimed at walkers whose main product is the report an owner reads before the lunch hour ends.
Comparison
Rover is a consumer marketplace that finds owners for you on its own terms, while LeashReport is software you run on the clients you already have so the walk proves itself.
Reading the rows is one thing, and watching a finished walk report land on your phone is another. Send us two or three stops from your midday route and we will go through both approaches on a short call, using your dogs and your building notes. Your schedule and your invoicing stay where they are, and so do the keys and door codes you already hold.
