A dog daycare website that makes the first day easy to say yes to
A daycare client is deciding whether their dog will be safe, happy and well supervised all day. Your website has to show how your day works and what a new dog needs to do before the first visit, then make the next step obvious. $29 a month, hosting included.

Answer the questions every new daycare client asks.
How a day runs
Drop-off window, play, rest breaks, meals if offered, and pickup times, so owners can picture it.
The evaluation
Explain the temperament assessment, what it involves, how long it takes and what happens if a dog is not a fit.
Vaccines and requirements
List the vaccines you require and any spay and neuter policy, so applicants arrive with the right paperwork.
Hours and holidays
Regular hours, early drop-off and late pickup rules, and a holiday closure notice you can update quickly.
Packages and prices
Single days, half days and multi-day packages laid out in a simple table.
Staffing and safety
How dogs are grouped, how staff are trained and what you do in an emergency, in plain words.

- New dog checklist: evaluation, vaccines, forms.

Before you publish a daycare website.
- Your vaccine and evaluation requirements are listed in plain words.
- Hours, early drop-off and late pickup rules are on one page.
- Prices and packages are in a table, not buried in a paragraph.
- There is a clear first step for a new dog.
- Your address, phone and hours match your Google Business Profile.
- You have permission for every dog photo you show.
The biggest drop-off is between “interested” and “first day.”
Many owners read about daycare, intend to call, and never do. A short “Start here” section that lists three steps (send vaccine records, book an evaluation, bring your dog) turns interest into a booked visit.
If you ask for vaccine records by email, a business address at your own domain looks safer than a personal one, and a shared mailbox lets more than one person see them.
Starting with just a website, email or domain does not lock you in. If you later want booking, client records, texting and payments, you can move up to the full Animal Friends OS in one step and keep the same login, domain, website and email.
Attendance, packages and pickup in one system.
The full Animal Friends OS adds a daily attendance board, play groups, passes and packages, and pickup authorization. See daycare software.
Questions owners ask
What should a dog daycare website include?
How a day runs, the evaluation process, vaccine and spay or neuter requirements, hours and holiday closures, packages and prices, and a clear way to start.
Should I list my vaccine requirements online?
Yes. It sets expectations before the first call and reduces back-and-forth. Keep the list in your own words and keep it current.
How much is a daycare website?
$29 a month, or $15 for Animal Friends OS customers, with hosting included. A .com domain is $24.99 a year.
Can I post closures and holiday hours?
Yes. Hours and notices are part of the site, so you can update them without help.
Can clients sign up for an evaluation online?
The site has a button that goes to the link you choose, such as a contact form or booking page. With the full Animal Friends OS, it opens your online booking page.
Can I show live camera feeds?
Not as part of the website at launch.
How do I get more clients for my dog daycare?
Make the first step easy, keep your Google Business Profile complete, ask happy clients for reviews, and give search engines a clear page for daycare in your town. A website that explains the evaluation and vaccine rules removes the friction that stops owners from starting.
What should a daycare website say about safety?
How dogs are grouped, how staff supervise play, what vaccines you require, and what you do in an emergency. Write what you really do, in plain words.
Is a doggy daycare website different from a boarding website?
They overlap, but daycare pages focus on the daily routine, evaluation and packages, while boarding pages focus on suites, overnight care and holiday booking. If you offer both, give each its own page.
Can I get email at my own domain?
Yes. Business email is $12 a month, and the bundle (website, 2 mailboxes and your domain included while you stay subscribed) is $39 a month.
