## What is Chester?

Run your pet care business. Chester handles the busywork.

Chester is an online platform for pet care. Independent dog walkers, sitters, trainers, groomers and boarders run their whole business on Chester - and the pet parents who book them get a real portal of their own, not an afterthought bolted on.

Bookings, payments, report cards and messaging live in one place, so you spend less time on admin and more time with the animals you love.

Built mobile-first in Toronto, Chester runs from your phone - between walks, in the park, wherever you work.

RUN YOUR BUSINESS
- Schedule visits and appointments in a calendar built for the field
- Keep every client and pet - vaccinations, notes, and history - in one profile
- Send invoices and get paid with Stripe, including recurring billing
- Offer prepaid packs and track credits automatically
- Grow a team with roles and permissions

DELIGHT YOUR CLIENTS
- Book and request services
- Read every report card, with photos and videos from the visit
- Message your service provider directly, in one place
- Pay invoices and see their history
- Keep pet profiles and vaccination records current

REPORT CARDS THEY'LL WANT TO SHARE
Turn every visit into a moment. Send a beautiful report card with photos, videos, notes, and highlights from the visit - the kind clients screenshot and share.

WHY CHESTER
- Everything in one place - bookings, payments, messaging, and reports
- Both sides, properly - a real client experience, not a retrofit
- Mobile-first, with your schedule always in your pocket
- Built in Toronto by someone who watched care pros drown in admin and decided to fix it

Chester is a real shih-poo from Toronto. The app is named after him.
