Time To Pet, a DaySmart Company, focuses on building business management software for pet care businesses. Our SaaS product is designed to help pet care professionals start, grow, and better manage their companies.

We pride ourselves on our ability to rapidly deliver exciting new features to our clients, to provide unmatched support, and to help them build the best business possible. We do this by finding great people, using systems to manage and improve our processes, staying lean and nimble, listening to the needs of our clients, fully committing to customer success, and providing useful and relevant content.

Your Impact

At Time To Pet, Customer Support is essential to our mission. The top priority for our Customer Support team is to make our clients as successful as possible while utilizing Time To Pet and to ensure their experience is positive by exceeding their expectations.

As part of the Customer Support team, you’ll be directly responsible for ensuring the happiness of our clients by managing support requests, improving support processes and acting as an advocate for Time To Pet. You will play a major role in the success of Time To Pet by enriching our customer support and other special projects.

The Ideal Candidate

If selected for this role, you will be required to discontinue any active employment, partnerships, or ownership within the pet care or pet sitting industry.

You’re empathetic to clients and understand that not everyone shares the same level of technical skill. You have the unique ability to make clients feel empowered and successful when they have a question; not silly or stupid. You are a problem solver willing to go the extra mile to ensure that a question is answered or a problem solved. You have the ability to listen and connect real world questions with solutions through software. You are detail oriented, professional, and understand that support is often the first line of communication with our customers. You enjoy communicating with people and can balance being friendly with getting a job done in a timely manner. You have a skill for writing and enjoy creating new content. You enjoy being efficient and looking for new ways to increase efficiency and improve your job and your skillset. Most importantly – you are a self-starter. While our ideal candidate would be based in Austin, TX - we are open to remote employees and all employees have the opportunity to work from home.

Responsibilities

We expect that the majority of your time (80% or so) will be spent doing the following:

• Help our clients via email and live chat to answer their questions, troubleshoot their issues and ensure they have the best experience possible.
• Provide occasional telephonic and screen share support that can include answering simple questions to full product demonstrations.
• Develop and execute customer onboarding and ongoing support strategies that enhance user engagement and retention, involving independent judgment to design tailored solutions that impact long-term customer satisfaction and business outcomes.
• Analyze customer feedback and feature requests to identify trends, and work cross-functionally to recommend strategic product or service improvements, demonstrating discretion and independent decision-making.
• Create and maintain comprehensive knowledge base and training materials, ensuring they align with best practices and evolving customer needs, contributing to the improvement of internal processes and overall service delivery.
• Identify underutilization of the product by specific customers and work with them to increase usage, leading to higher customer retention, increased revenue, enhanced customer satisfaction, and the identification of new opportunities for upselling and cross-selling.
• Support hours are Monday - Friday from 8am to 7pm CT so we would expect your normal working hours to be within this time frame. Occasional flexible weekend support hours are required (typically 1 weekend per 8 weeks).
