A Pet Sitter Plus alternative for a one person business
Pet Sitter Plus has a Solo plan, and it is a real one: a single user gets the whole platform, client portal included. The question is not whether it works, it plainly does. The question is whether you want a platform built to scale to twenty five staff when you are one person. This page lays both out from their own published prices and features.

Read the first year price carefully
Their pricing page shows Solo at half price for the first twelve months, then the standard price after that. Both figures are in the table above, because the second one is the price you actually live with. Their Team plan adds a charge for each active user, which their page defines as anyone with one or more services scheduled in a billing period.
The same features either way
Every Pet Sitter Plus plan, Solo included, ships with the client portal, GPS check in and check out, visit reports, key management and staff profiles. None of that is wasted on a company. On a sitter working alone, most of it is scaffolding she will never stand on. PetSit leaves it out rather than shipping it switched off.
Who should choose which
Choose Pet Sitter Plus if you want a client portal, GPS check in and check out on every visit, vaccination and key records, a QuickBooks Online connection, or a clear path to adding staff later. They publish all of it, on every plan, and their trial is 30 days with no card.
Choose PetSit if none of that is what is bothering you, and what is bothering you is remembering every pet's medication and feeding routine, booking a ten day stay without typing ten entries, getting the multi pet maths right, and seeing tomorrow in the calendar app you already open. One person, one flat price, English and French.
