Kennels assigned by size, not by guesswork

Give each kennel a size and a weight limit. New bookings go into the smallest kennel that fits and is free, skipping anything still inside its cleaning window. You can move any dog by dragging it.

What it does

Give every kennel a size and weight limit, let the system pick the smallest one that fits, keep cleaning time between stays, and move dogs on a kennel grid.

Size and weight limits

Each kennel has a size, a maximum weight and the species it takes.

Smallest kennel that fits

Occupied kennels, the wrong species, cleaning windows and underweight kennels are skipped.

Cleaning windows

Keep 0 to 48 hours free between one dog leaving and the next arriving.

Drag to move

Move a stay to another kennel on the grid and it updates everywhere.

Let customers choose

Show your suites at booking when the room is part of what they are paying for.

Family kennels

A family can share one kennel or be split across kennels, each dog priced correctly.

How it works

Add kennels

One at a time or in bulk, then drag them into order.
