Our story
Our story started in 2014 with our founder, Kyle. As an avid user of pet sitters and dog walkers, Kyle was always impressed by the care they provided to both his dogs and himself. But he also saw how manual the process of running a pet care business could be.
As a pet parent, software developer, and entrepreneur, Kyle saw an opportunity to help make managing a pet care business easier and more automated. So he left his job in corporate America and started building Time To Pet.
While developing the first version of Time To Pet, Kyle reached out to hundreds of pet sitters and dog walkers around Austin, Texas. One of those businesses belonged to Mike and his wife. Mike quickly became Time To Pet's first paying customer, and in 2015, he joined Kyle as a business partner and co-founder.
From the beginning, Kyle and Mike believed the best pet care software should be built alongside the people who use it. That idea has continued to shape Time To Pet ever since.
