What Makes Chester Different
Other apps store your bookings. Chester runs the day around them, on the device you actually work from.
Mobile is the product, not a bolt-on
Chester is a real iOS and Android app, not a desktop tool shrunk onto a phone. Your schedule, report cards, messages, billing and team work the same in your hand as at a desk. That matters, because this job happens between visits, not behind one.
Built for the way the work actually happens.
Updates clients actually love
Turn every visit into a polished update: photos, GPS routes, and structured notes, sent in seconds. Clients stay in the loop, trust you more, and share your report cards with friends.
Built-in word-of-mouth, without extra work.
Switching is an evening, not a season
Bring your clients with you. Scan the paper records you already keep and Chester pulls the details out for you to check. Review them, then invite everyone at once. No retyping a client list one row at a time.
Move over in one sitting, not one quarter.
Every product has an origin story. Ours has four paws.
Chester is a real shih-poo from Toronto. His walker, his groomer, his trainer and his sitter all looked after him beautifully, and every one of them told me how his day went a different way.
None of them were disorganised. They were working without tools built for the way the job actually happens.

Chester & Rocky
Full Groom · 90 minutes each
Services: Bath, blow-dry, full haircut, nails, ears
Both absolute gems today. They stood still for their nails, which is rarer than you would think, and there were only mild complaints about the dryer.
Suggested next visit: 6 weeks
One platform. Two very different days.
Everything you do once, they see the moment it matters.
You, once: End the visit
Tap done and move to the next one.
Then, automatically: A report card before you reach the car
Photos, the route walked, and a note about how it went.
You, once: Set the week once
Recurring visits, staff assigned, policies attached.
Then, automatically: No more “are we still on for Thursday?”
They see the schedule and ask in the app, not by text.
You, once: Let the invoice send itself
Built from the visits you already logged.
Then, automatically: Paid by card in one tap
No e-transfer, no cash, nothing to chase on Friday.
You, once: Note the limp you noticed
Straight onto the pet's record while you remember.
Then, automatically: They see it that evening
And it's still there when the vet asks in six months.
You, once: Hand a booking to your teammate
With the handoff notes attached.
Then, automatically: They know who's coming
Before the doorbell rings, not after.
