Common questions

Paw Partner is oriented toward consumer engagement — the client app and check-in experience. CanineOps is oriented toward operational depth: full training program management with milestones, 8-role RBAC, multi-location isolation, and flat-subscription revenue retention. It's for operators who run complex facilities, not just simple boarding or daycare.
CanineOps is a responsive web application — the client portal works on any mobile device via browser. Clients can view stay updates, report cards, and invoices from any device without downloading a dedicated app.
CanineOps is a flat monthly subscription. There are no per-booking, per-transaction, or revenue percentage fees. You use your own payment processor. See pricing details here.
