Daily kennel operations

Replace scattered notes with one shared operating view.

Give owners, administrators, front-desk staff, and trainers access to the information their role needs without separating dogs, clients, schedules, and daily activity into disconnected systems.

  • Connected client and dog profiles
  • Role-focused staff access
  • Current schedules and daily status
  • Cloud sync across supported devices

Reservations and capacity

Keep control from the first request through pickup.

Clients can request care while your team reviews availability and requirements before confirming. Approved reservations move into the calendar, capacity planning, arrival workflow, and reservation history.

  • Online reservation requests
  • Staff approval for client-submitted requests
  • Boarding, board-and-train, day training, and appointments
  • Capacity, availability, and blackout controls

Digital check-in

Make arrival clearer before the lobby gets busy.

Collect the details your staff needs for the stay, keep required steps visible, and carry the confirmed reservation into a digital check-in flow built around the dog and client.

  • Required client information
  • Arrival and care instructions
  • Reservation-specific check-in status
  • A cleaner handoff for staff and pet parents

Training management

Connect every training session to the dog’s complete history.

Trainers can document practiced skills, progress, notes, photos, and videos from a mobile device while the kennel keeps completed sessions organized in one dog-specific record.

  • Structured training sessions
  • Skills practiced and progress tracking
  • Trainer notes, photos, and video
  • Board-and-train and appointment workflows

Client experience

Turn everyday communication into long-term trust.

A branded client portal keeps reservation details, required steps, training progress, completed sessions, and selected media together so pet parents can stay connected without chasing updates.

  • Kennel-branded client portal
  • Upcoming reservations and status
  • Training milestones and session history
  • Selected photo and video updates
