RunLoyal gives every facility its own fully custom-branded mobile app — your business name, your logo, your colors — published to the App Store and Google Play under your name, not ours. Clients download your app, book through your app, and never see a RunLoyal logo. On average, 60%+ of bookings happen through the branded app. Built exclusively for pet care.
Gingr is a solid platform. But there are features pet businesses tell us they couldn't find there — until they switched.

Every one of these came directly from facility owners who switched. They're not small features — they're the ones that change how your business runs.
Your business name. Your logo. Your colors. Published in the App Store and Google Play under your name — not RunLoyal's. Clients book, pay, and communicate through an app that looks like you built it. On average, 60%+ of bookings come through it.
Exclusive to RunLoyalBuild a digital map of your entire facility — kennels, daycare zones, suites — and see exactly how your business is running, space by space, day by day. Full occupancy visibility at a glance.
Exclusive to RunLoyalClients scan a QR code at drop-off. Agreements are signed, vaccines confirmed, and pet notes loaded — all before you say hello. No more morning bottlenecks.
Exclusive to RunLoyalLet clients shop and buy retail items directly through your branded app — during a reservation or as a standalone purchase. A revenue stream Gingr simply doesn't offer.
Exclusive to RunLoyalBoarding kennels, dog daycares, and grooming studios that switched — and what they noticed first.
"The branded app was the first thing that blew me away. Clients started texting me saying 'I love your new app' — they thought we built it ourselves. That's exactly the point."
"We turned on dynamic pricing before the holiday season and made 22% more in December than the year before — without adding a single new client. I wish I'd had this years ago."
"I was nervous about migrating all our data. The RunLoyal team handled everything — client records, pet profiles, reservation history. We were live in under three weeks."
Our onboarding team handles the migration. You don't lose a single client record, reservation, or pet profile.
A RunLoyal specialist walks you through the platform live using your actual facility type and volume.
Pet owner and pet profiles are migrated from Gingr, included in your setup fee. Need additional data imported? A product specialist will walk you through your options.
We build and publish your custom-branded app. Your logo, your name, your colors — in the App Store and Google Play.
On launch day we email your entire client list announcing your new app — so your clients are on board from day one.
Book a free 30-minute demo. We'll show you the branded app live — with your business name on it — and walk through exactly how the switch from Gingr works.
Everything facilities ask before making the move.
Yes. RunLoyal is the most feature-complete Gingr alternative for pet boarding, daycare, and grooming businesses. Unlike Gingr, RunLoyal gives every facility a fully custom-branded mobile app — your name in the App Store, not a software company's. RunLoyal also includes dynamic pricing, QR express check-in, and staff management with clock-in/out, tips, and commissions — features Gingr doesn't offer.
Yes. RunLoyal's dedicated onboarding team handles data migration from Gingr as part of the standard onboarding process — at no extra cost. Client records, pet profiles, and reservation history are all migrated. Most facilities are fully live within 30 days of their demo.
The biggest difference is RunLoyal's custom-branded mobile app — every RunLoyal facility gets a white-labeled app with their own logo, name, and colors published to the App Store and Google Play. Gingr does not offer this. RunLoyal also adds demand-based dynamic pricing, QR express check-in at drop-off, and full staff management with clock-in/out, tip tracking, and commission splits — none of which are available in Gingr.
It means your clients open the App Store, search your business name, and download an app that shows your logo, your colors, and your facility's name — not RunLoyal's. It looks and feels like an app you built yourself. Clients book, pay, and communicate through it. On average, 60%+ of reservations at RunLoyal facilities come through the branded app once it's live.
