Client details
First and last name, email, phone, and address when the CSV uses a recognized column name.
Switching to Sitterly
Sitterly's current import is narrow. It accepts supported client and pet CSVs, previews mapped rows, and creates client and pet records. Schedules, team records, pricing, messages, payments, and consent records do not come through this flow.
What the current importer recognizes
The generic option still expects recognizable client and pet columns.
First and last name, email, phone, and address when the CSV uses a recognized column name.
Pet name, species, breed, weight, and notes when those values are present in the same export.
Mapped rows appear before import, including counts and a warning when a client has neither an email nor a phone number.
Clients are matched by email or phone. A new pet can be added to an existing client when that pet name is not already present.
The current in-product import
Step 1
Select Time To Pet, Gingr, PetExec, or the generic client and pet CSV mapping.
Step 2
The file is parsed against the recognized client and pet column names for that source.
Step 3
Check the client and pet preview, unique-client count, pet count, and rows that are missing identifying details.
Step 4
The current tool writes client and pet records directly, then reports imported, skipped, and failed rows.
Client and pet CSV import is not a whole-business migration. These records need separate evaluation rather than an implied promise that they will move.
Sitters, availability, future bookings, assignments, and recurring schedules are not part of the current CSV import.
Services, durations, rates, add-ons, and pricing rules are not created by this import.
Message history, provider accounts, payment records, and payment credentials require a separate plan.
Past bookings, terms acceptance, card authorization, tax onboarding, and other consent-sensitive records are not imported here.
The current tool does not create a draft migration or an automated rollback. Keep the original CSV and old system as references, then verify imported clients and pets before relying on them. Anything broader needs a separate plan.
