The pet boarding & kennels stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK pet boarding + kennels + cattery — capacity, vaccination compliance, dietary + medication, daily updates.

01 · Booking + capacity gating

Stays that fit the kennel, not the hope.

Per-kennel and per-cattery-pen capacity, multi-pet bookings (same family, same pen), peak-season pricing, deposit on confirmation. The August-bank-holiday over-book disappears.

  • Per-kennel capacity
  • Multi-pet pen logic
  • Peak-season pricing
  • Deposit on confirmation
02 · Vaccination + medication compliance

Up-to-date jabs, kennel cough on file.

Vaccination + kennel-cough gating at booking, medication schedule per pet (dose, time, route), staff sign-off log. Compliance you can hand to the licensing inspector.

  • Vaccination + kennel-cough gate
  • Per-pet medication schedule
  • Dose + time sign-off log
  • Inspector-ready audit trail
03 · Dietary + walks scheduling

Bella's chicken-and-rice. Two walks. On the rota.

Per-pet dietary plan, walk frequency, exercise group, rota assigned to staff. The handover sheet that used to be a clipboard, now on a phone.

  • Per-pet dietary plan
  • Walk frequency + group
  • Staff rota assignment
  • Handover-sheet replacement
04 · Daily owner updates

One photo, one status, every evening.

Auto-prompt staff for an evening photo + status note per pet, sent to the owner on holiday. The thing that turns a one-time stay into a return customer.

  • Daily auto-prompt
  • Photo + status per pet
  • Owner-portal feed
  • On-holiday SMS / WhatsApp
05 · Insurance

Cover, claims, incident log — on rails.

Boarding insurance integration, incident reporting flow, vet-emergency authorisation on file, claim packs ready when needed. The ugly day handled, calmly.

  • Cover record per stay
  • Incident reporting flow
  • Vet-emergency auth on file
  • Claim-pack templates

Animal Welfare licensing requirements, evacuation plans, kennel-cough protocols, new-starter training — searchable from the floor. Compliance day one.

Sample engagement

The 24-kennel facility where 4 in 5 owners came back.

24 kennels. 6-pen cattery. Return-customer rate stuck at 67%.

A licensed boarding facility ran on email + spreadsheet for bookings, paper logs for medication, and ad-hoc owner updates. Returns were OK in winter, ugly in August. Three-week build: capacity-gated booking, vaccination + medication compliance log, daily auto-prompted owner update with photo, deposit-on-confirmation flow. Six months in: return-customer rate from 67% to 81%, peak-season over-book down to zero, two hours back per evening.

How we measure: Return-customer rate = owners with two or more stays in trailing 18 months / total active owners (n = 184 pre-build, 211 post-build); baseline from booking-software exports.
