Oklahoma has a 0.25-4.75% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 4.75%. Low cost of living. Oil and gas economy. Tulsa and OKC are primary markets. No local income taxes.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,044/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Tornado alley — storm damage creates major seasonal surge (March-June). Extreme heat in summer. Oil industry creates specialized service demand. Ice storms in winter cause significant damage.
Cat Sitters in Broken Arrow should plan their cash flow around these patterns. Nexa's budget envelope system helps you set aside revenue during peak season to cover slow months — something Jobber can't do because it still bills you $42/month during slow months.
Whether you call it billing, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most cat sitters in Broken Arrow stack up Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks, Square plus other subscriptions. That's $1,044/year on recurring software. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $5,220.
With Nexa, you own your tools. Your CRM, billing, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one platform. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No middleware. No add-on costs. It's a no subscription — cut costs immediately. For cat sitters in Broken Arrow weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
7am first visit — feed, scoop, fresh water, 10-minute play. 8am two more visits in the same neighborhood. 10am drive across town to a 30-minute visit (the cat is on insulin). Noon admin block — invoice, photos in the owner's text thread. 4pm afternoon visits, same houses. 6pm last-of-day visits. 8pm reconcile the day's clients.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a cat sitter's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a cat sitter — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
