Built around where the work actually happens.

  • Live training records
  • Offline recovery
02

Desktop admin client

See the whole operation.

Give owners and administrators a calm control center for approvals, schedules, kennel capacity, dogs, and clients.

  • Reservation requests

The Side by Sides difference

Booked is not the same as connected.

Most kennel software begins and ends with the calendar. Side by Sides K9 keeps the calendar strong—but puts the dog’s care, training story, and client relationship at the center.

01

Training is native

Sessions, practiced skills, progress, notes, photos, and video live together.

02

Your kennel stays in control

Choose services, approval rules, capacity, branding, communication, and visible modules.

03

Clean screens for every role

Staff, admins, and clients see what matters to them—and nothing that does not.

Common questions

What kennel owners want to know.

Clear answers about the cloud-based, mobile-first Side by Sides K9 platform.

01What is cloud-based kennel management software?

Cloud-based kennel management software keeps reservations, dog profiles, training records, media, messages, forms, and staff schedules connected through the internet. Side by Sides K9 is designed so staff can work from a mobile device while owners and administrators use a focused desktop workspace.

02Can staff use Side by Sides K9 on a phone?

Yes. The staff experience is designed mobile-first for the people working beside the dogs. Training notes, photos, videos, check-ins, dog records, and day-to-day updates stay close at hand without forcing staff back to the front desk.

03Is there a desktop client for kennel administrators?

Side by Sides K9 pairs the mobile staff experience with a desktop admin workspace for schedules, approvals, capacity, clients, dogs, communication, and high-level facility oversight.

04Does the platform support dog training businesses?

Training is a core part of the platform—not an add-on. Trainers can document practiced skills, progress, completed sessions, notes, photos, and videos, while clients follow their dog's journey in a branded portal.

05Can each kennel control what clients can see?

Yes. Each kennel controls its branding, services, reservation workflows, communication channels, and which client-facing modules appear. Disabled features stay out of the client experience instead of creating empty or confusing screens.

06How much does Side by Sides K9 cost?

Monthly pricing starts at $49 for Starter, $99 for Professional, and $169 for Elite. Enterprise pricing is customized for multi-location businesses and operations that need tailored onboarding, limits, or integrations.
