KennelBooker is cloud-based booking and management software for pet care businesses. It covers boarding kennels, catteries, daycare, grooming, training, board and train, dog walking, homestay and point of sale in a single plan. The company says thousands of businesses in more than 40 countries use it to replace paper diaries and phone-based booking.
The pitch is simple: customers book and pay online at any hour, while staff spend their time with the animals instead of on the phone. The system takes deposits, checks vaccination dates, sends confirmations and SMS reminders, and shows a daily overview of check-ins, check-outs and revenue. It runs in a web browser, so nothing needs to be installed.
Customers use an online booking portal that shows real-time availability. They choose a service, add feeding and care instructions, enter vaccination dates and pay a set amount, a deposit or the full cost. Payments are processed by Stripe. Staff then see the booking in a unified view with vaccine status, the price charged and any extra services added.
At check-in, staff are alerted that vaccination dates need verifying, and pets with expired vaccinations are highlighted at booking and at check-in. In-person balances can be sent to a Stripe payment terminal, after which the booking is marked paid and the payment is recorded. Staff can work from a PC, Mac, tablet or phone, with any number of staff logged in at once.
Pet records hold dietary and medical details, and the daily overview highlights animals with specific needs. Owners can build custom questionnaires, either customer-specific or pet-specific, and set their own pricing rules, including peak pricing, extra services and waivers. Postcards let staff email short picture updates to owners during a stay, straight from the system.
Reporting covers revenue, expenses, bookings and occupancy metrics. To-do and wait lists, time and attendance tracking and product sales are included. The vendor says the platform is designed to help with UK Animal Activities Licensing Regulations 2018, EU GDPR and PCI DSS requirements, and that data is encrypted and backed up on Microsoft Azure.
