Case Study: We Dog Care achieves streamlined scheduling and time savings with Deputy

We Dog Care is high-quality community-oriented doggy day care center

We Dog Care is a community‑focused, affordable doggy daycare in San Jose founded by Ruben Serrato, offering 24/7 access, indoor and outdoor play areas, and education events. With a high staff‑to‑dog ratio and a largely part‑time team of 23 handlers, the business struggled with manual, time‑consuming scheduling, payroll admin and timesheet management, plus the risk of overscheduling and compliance errors.

By adopting Deputy integrated with Gusto, We Dog Care automated clock‑in timesheets, streamlined approvals and eliminated double‑entry into payroll. Staff now update availability and fill urgent open shifts via the app, enabling smarter, data‑driven rostering that reduced admin time, lowered absences and lateness, improved service consistency, and helped ensure compliance.
