Built for How Your Business Actually Works

Every feature designed by an operator who runs a multi-service pet care facility — not a software company guessing at your problems.

One-Tap Check-In

Search by pet name or owner name. Vaccine status, behavioral notes, and today's instructions appear instantly. Tap confirm. Done in 15 seconds.

Real-Time Vaccine Verification

Every dog's vaccination status is verified at check-in — Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Expired vaccines show a red alert. No more manually checking paper cards.

Temperament & Safety Flags

Behavioral alerts appear at check-in: "Dog-selective — supervise introductions," "Escape artist — double-gate protocol," "Resource guarder — separate feeding." Staff see these before touching the leash.

Owner Arrival Notifications

Send an automatic "your dog just checked in!" text to owners when you confirm check-in. They know their dog arrived safe without calling.

Attendance & Headcount Tracking

Real-time headcount by play group. Never go over your licensed capacity. Attendance records auto-generate for each dog daily.

Feeding Schedule Display

Dogs that require feeding during daycare show a feeding alert with instructions: time, amount, brand. Staff see it at check-in and at feeding time.

Checkout Confirmation

At checkout, confirm which staff member released the dog and to whom. Timestamped. Critical for safety and liability documentation.

Daily Report Cards

Send each owner a quick "how was daycare today?" update via SMS — activities, mood, photos. Creates the loyalty and transparency that keeps clients coming back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does check-in work if a dog's vaccines are expired?
An expired vaccine shows a red banner at the check-in screen. You can choose to deny entry or override with a note (e.g., "vet appointment tomorrow, extension approved"). Every override is logged with a timestamp.
Can I track which play group each dog is in?
Yes. Assign dogs to play groups at check-in — small dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, or custom groups you define. The headcount shows live totals per group.
Can owners check in their dog with an app?
Owners can use the client portal to pre-check-in — confirm their dog is coming and any special instructions for the day. Staff still confirm arrival at the physical desk, but the paperwork is already done.
What if two dogs are checked in and they have a known conflict?
Set a "do not mix with" flag on any dog's profile. If that dog and the conflicting dog check in on the same day, the system alerts staff immediately.
Is there a daily report card feature?
Yes. After daycare, you can send a quick SMS update to each owner with a note about how their dog did and optionally a photo. Takes 30 seconds per dog. Owners love it.
