Why kennels switch

Know what's free, tonight and in July.

One occupancy board across every run and every night. Spot the long weekend that's about to sell out while you can still do something about it.

Deposits taken, policy enforced.

Collect a deposit when the booking is made and let your cancellation window apply itself. Fewer holds that evaporate the week they matter most.

Every stay's details, on the run.

Feeding, medication and belongings recorded against the stay — so the closing shift knows exactly what the morning shift promised.

The platform

Built for every part of your kennel.

Occupancy, runs, deposits and the care that happens in between — in one system that also runs your grooming and daycare.

Boarding, daycare and grooming together.

Sell the exit groom and the daycare add-on without leaving the stay you're already in.

One platform

Add grooming and daycarewithout adding software.

Most kennels sell more than nights. The boarding-first platforms charge a separate per-location plan for the daycare and the grooming room. We include all three, on one calendar, on the same plan.

Every service is included on the same plan, with unlimited staff and no per-seat fee. See what each plan includes.

Boarding FAQ

Boarding questions, answered.

Can I see occupancy across runs and dates?

Yes. The occupancy board shows every run down the side and every night across the top, with each stay drawn as a bar. You can see what's free tonight, what's tight over a long weekend, and which weeks are already sold out.

Does it handle run and kennel assignment?

Yes. Assign a stay to a specific run or suite, hold runs for cleaning or maintenance, and group siblings from the same household together. Availability accounts for size and run type, so you're not offering a large suite that's already taken.

Can I take deposits and enforce a cancellation policy?

Yes. Collect a deposit at the time of booking, set your own free-cancellation window, and let the system apply your policy automatically. The balance is due at check-out, on the same invoice as any add-ons.

Is this kennel software, or just boarding bookings?

It runs the kennel: reservations, occupancy, run assignment, feeding and medication schedules, belongings, deposits, invoicing and reporting. If you also groom or run daycare, those live on the same calendar rather than in a second system.

Do you handle cats and other pets, or only dogs?

Any pet you board. Cattery and small-animal stays work the same way — runs, pens or condos are just spaces you define, with their own capacity and size rules.

Can I record feeding, medication and belongings for each stay?

Yes. Each stay carries a care card: feeding amounts and times, medication with dosage and schedule, and what the owner dropped off — so nothing goes home missing and no one has to remember whose food is whose.

Is there a free plan for boarding kennels?

Our free plan is built for solo operators and allows one staff login, which suits very few kennels. Boarding businesses almost always run a team, so they start on a paid plan — which includes unlimited staff at one flat price with no per-seat fee. Start a free trial to try it with everyone who'd use it.

How hard is it to switch mid-season?

We import your customers, pets, vaccination records and booking history, and on annual paid plans we run the migration and a go-live call for you. One caveat worth planning around: stays already in progress on go-live day are re-entered by hand — so most kennels switch in a quieter week.

Free trial · no card required

Fill every run with
less guesswork.

See your occupancy, your deposits and your care cards in one place — and try it with your whole team, not just one login.
