Houndtrust charges a flat subscription instead of taking a cut from each booking. Your client pays you directly, and the relationship stays with your business.

Fee comparison checked August 2, 2026. Rover lists a 20% standard sitter fee and an 11% owner booking fee. Its selected-city pilot lists a 30% sitter fee on a new client's first $599 of completed bookings. Fees and pilot terms can change.

Built in a real dog-care business

I got tired of running everything through texts and paper.

I'm Dave Waggins. I run a dog-care business, and the admin used to live in group texts, sticky notes, and a paper calendar. I built Houndtrust so one link could handle intake, bookings, waivers, updates, and money without making clients learn a new app. It now runs quietly behind my own business. I want independent pet-care professionals to spend less time copying details and more time doing the work they started for.
