Why daycares switch

Capacity you can actually trust.

Day limits and per-playgroup caps that online booking honors. Never oversell a Tuesday, and never turn away a dog you had room for.

Mornings that take seconds.

One tap checks a dog in — attendance, pass balance and the invoice all update together. No clipboard, no double entry at 7am.

Passes that create regulars.

Sell 10- and 20-day packages that deduct automatically and prompt a renewal when they run low. Predictable revenue, without chasing anyone.

The platform

Built for every part of your daycare.

Capacity, the front desk, packages and pet parents — in one system that also runs your grooming and boarding.

Capacity

Day limits and playgroup caps that hold.

Set an overall cap for the day and a separate one per playgroup. Online booking respects both, so you fill the floor without overfilling a group.

Daycare, grooming and boarding together.

A dog in daycare Monday, groomed Friday, boarded that weekend — one record, one invoice.

One platform

Add grooming and boardingwithout adding software.

Most daycares end up selling more than daycare. The boarding-first platforms charge a separate per-location plan for each service. 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.

Getting started

Live before next Monday.

Bring your dogs across, set your limits, share your booking link. Most daycares are taking online bookings the same week.

Daycare FAQ

Daycare questions, answered.

Can I set a daily capacity and per-playgroup limits?

Yes. Set an overall limit for the day and a separate cap for each playgroup — small dogs, big dogs, puppies, or however you split your floor. Online booking respects both, so a Tuesday that's full for big dogs can still take small ones.

How does check-in and check-out work?

One tap. The front desk sees everyone expected today, checks dogs in as they arrive, and checks them out at pickup. Attendance, day-pass balances and the parent's invoice all update from that single action.

Do you support day passes and packages?

Yes — 5, 10, 20-day passes or any bundle you sell. Passes deduct automatically at check-in, the balance is visible to the pet parent, and you can prompt a renewal when they're running low.

Can I require vaccinations before a dog books in?

Yes. Store rabies, DHPP, Bordetella and anything else you require, with expiry dates. When a record lapses, booking is blocked automatically and both you and the parent get a reminder before it happens.

Do you handle grooming and boarding too?

Yes, and on the same calendar. A dog can be in daycare Monday, boarded over the weekend, and groomed before pickup — one record, one invoice, no separate system or separate plan for each service.

Is there a free plan for daycares?

Our free plan is built for solo operators and allows one staff login, which suits very few daycares. Most daycare businesses run 2+ people on the floor, 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 your whole team.

Can pet parents see how their dog's day went?

Yes. Send end-of-day updates with photos and notes, so parents get the report card experience without you juggling a separate app or a camera roll full of unsent pictures.

What does it take to switch from my current daycare software?

We import your customers, pets, vaccination records and booking history. On annual paid plans we run the migration for you and walk your team through go-live on a call, at no extra cost.

less admin.
