Dog boarding booking system
Take boarding bookings without ever taking one dog too many.
Owners book their dates on your own page, sign your boarding consent first and can pay a deposit with Stripe. Once you’re at your nightly limit, those dates can’t be booked.

Booking overnight stays by calendar and crossed fingers.
The overlap you didn’t spot. One dog arriving Friday, another leaving Sunday, a third in all fortnight, and somewhere in the maths you’ve said yes to one too many.
The paperwork at drop-off. Consent forms on a clipboard, vet details on a sticky note and a vaccination card you meant to photograph, while the owner’s late for the airport.
The booking that goes elsewhere. A request comes in at night, you reply in the morning, and they’ve already booked the boarder who answered first.
Your booking page fixes all three, even while you’re asleep.
How a booking works
Dates in, forms signed, stay confirmed.
-
On your page
Priya picks her dates.
She chooses a stay, her check-in and check-out days and her dog, Biscuit, and only sees dates you can take.
-
Forms
Consent signed first.
Your boarding and vet consent forms come before the booking, and she gets a signed PDF copy.
-
Request
Card held, request sent.
With Stripe connected, the deposit is held on her card, not taken, and the request lands on your Today screen.
-
You accept
One tap and it’s booked.
Accept and the stay is in your diary. Decline and the hold is released.
Every stay confirmed, no messages back and forth.
Licensing records
Records the inspector asks for, from the first booking.
Owners sign your consents before they book, your team fills in daily logs, and the licence-inspection register pulls it together for any dates: every dog that stayed, ready to print. Boarding records stay on it for three years.
- Forms signed before booking, with a PDF copy
- Daily logs signed by the carer
- Vaccinations, microchip and vet on the register
Real availability
Only the nights you can take.
Set the most dogs each carer can take each night. When you’re at your limit, those dates can’t be booked, and owners only ever see whether their dates are free, never how full you are.
- A nightly limit for each carer
- Capacity kept private from clients
- Check-in and check-out times clients can ask to change
Your own booking page
Requests in while you sleep.
Owners plan holidays in the evening, long after you’ve stopped answering messages. Share one link and they book their dates whenever they think of it, with the dog’s details attached.
- Your name, logo and licence details up front
- Stays priced by the night
- Open every hour you’re settling dogs

Booking page questions
Will it stop me taking a dog I’ve no room for?
Set the most dogs each carer can take each night. Once you reach it, those dates can’t be booked online, and owners never see how many places are left.
Guide: ServicesCan owners sign my consent forms online?
Yes. Choose which forms must be signed before they can book. They sign during booking, in their portal or from an emailed link, and get a PDF copy.
Guide: PoliciesCan I take a deposit to secure the dates?
Yes, with Stripe connected. Switch on pay at booking in Settings, and the deposit is held on their card when they book and taken when you accept the request.
Guide: PaymentsDo I have to accept every stay?
Your choice. Check each request before it’s booked, or let bookings go straight into your diary. Checking each one lets you see the dog and the dates before you say yes.
Guide: BookingsCan owners change their drop-off time?
Yes. Stays have your check-in and check-out times, and owners can ask to change them. You decide whether the new time works for you.
Guide: ServicesDo I need a website?
No. Your booking page is a link you can share anywhere: Instagram, WhatsApp, your van or your own website if you have one.
