Built for How Your Business Works

Every feature designed by someone who runs a pet care facility — not a software company guessing at your problems.

Morning Check-In Flow

One-tap check-in per dog. Vaccine verification, feeding instructions, and behavioral flags all appear immediately. 30 dogs checked in during the drop-off rush — no chaos.

Daycare Attendance Tracking

Real-time headcount per group. Never exceed licensed capacity. Attendance auto-logs for every dog every day — zero manual record-keeping.

Play Group Management

Assign dogs to groups by size, temperament, or energy level. Headcount displays live per group. Staff always know who's where.

Incident Reporting

Log any incident — minor scuffle, injury, illness — with timestamp, description, and involved animals. Documented, searchable, and linked to the relevant booking.

Daily Report Cards by SMS

At pickup or end of day, send owners a quick "how was daycare?" message with activity notes and a photo. Turns daycare into an experience owners rave about.

Recurring Daycare Scheduling

Set up regular weekly schedules for daycare clients — Mon/Wed/Fri dogs are auto-booked. Cancellations come in and fill from waitlist automatically.

Waitlist & Cancellation Management

Daycare slots fill fast. Waitlist clients get automatic texts when a spot opens. You fill cancellations in minutes without picking up the phone.

Parent Communication Hub

All daycare communications in one thread per client — check-in confirmations, photo updates, schedule changes, vaccination reminders. No scattered texts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does capacity management work for daycare?
You set maximum capacity per play group (e.g., small dogs max 12, large dogs max 8). The booking system won't allow more reservations than your capacity. Staff see real-time headcount on their dashboard.
Can I manage both walk-in daycare and scheduled reservations?
Yes. Walk-ins can be added to the current day's attendance roster directly. Scheduled reservations appear automatically at opening. Both flow into the same headcount tracker.
How does the incident report work if a dog gets hurt?
Staff log an incident from the dashboard: timestamp, description, severity, animals involved, and action taken. Owner is automatically notified. The incident is linked to the dog's profile permanently — visible to staff on future visits.
Can I send individual or group photo updates?
Both. Send a personalized photo of a specific dog to that dog's owner. Or send a group "daycare is going great today!" photo to all current daycare owners. Both from the same interface.
What happens when daycare is full and a client tries to book?
They're offered the waitlist. If a cancellation comes in, waitlist clients are automatically notified in order. First to respond gets the spot. You fill gaps without any staff involvement.
