Tons of useful features, wrapped in an intuitive interface.

Pricing that handles itself

Charge by day or by night. Auto-apply peak and holiday rates at the right time of year. Automate late checkout fees and cancellation charges. Set it up once — KennelBooker does the maths every time.

Every email sent automatically

From booking confirmation to checkout receipt, KennelBooker handles all your customer emails — including automatically attaching a PDF invoice. You stop typing. The system starts sending.

Fill every run — even at peak periods

No room available? KennelBooker automatically checks if the booking can be split across multiple runs — so you capture more revenue instead of turning customers away.

Ditch the paper. With digital waivers.

Customers sign your waivers online before they arrive — on their phone, on your tablet, or via email. No printing. No chasing. No paper piles on your desk.

Run cards ready in seconds

Print run cards for every pet at check-in, or batch print them all in one go. Contact details, pet info, feeding instructions and medical notes — everything your team needs before they open a run.

Take bookings 24/7 — no phone required

Customers see your live availability and book directly online — any time of day. You get notified instantly. No missed calls. No lost bookings.

Your entire day — one screen

See who is arriving, who is on-site, and who is leaving — all from one page.

✓ Check in pets with one click and log their belongings as they arrive.
✓ Automatic alerts for missing or expired vaccinations — before they become a problem.
✓ Works perfectly on your phone, tablet, or desktop.
✓ Run daycare too? The same calendar handles daycare bookings side by side.
