Arrivals, departures and occupancy

See who's checking in and out, how full you are, and jump to feed, play or staff.

Built for animal care, not generic bookings

Most kennel software starts with a calendar and bolts on care later. DatCog starts with feed sheets, playgroups and med sign-off. Roster, payroll and a client portal are included from day one.

Tabby cat and Dachshund-DatCog for kennels and catteries

From the floor to pickup, without extra tools.

Report cards, desk retail, and Stripe deposits live in the same product as feed and play.

Send the day home with photos and who they played with

After daycare or boarding, owners get a branded update: how they were, moments from the day, and the dogs they hung out with. Share a link or PDF without leaving the desk.

Retail, passes and add-ons at the desk

Sell food, leads, grooms, visit packs and one-off charges on the same client file as bookings. Stock, categories and EFTPOS or account-no second till.

Owners pay invoices and deposits online

Connect Stripe once. Portal checkout for balances and boarding deposits, with payouts to your kennel. Deposit rules live on the booking, not in a spreadsheet of card numbers.

Generic booking software wasn't built for animal welfare.

DatCog is the operating system for facilities that put care first-on the desk, on the floor, and with your clients.

Safety can't live in someone's head

Who gets along, who needs separation, who's due their meds. Your team needs it in front of them, not on a whiteboard.

Care and admin in one place

Bookings, daily rounds, rostering and client billing together. Less switching apps, fewer things slipping through.

Owners stay informed, you stay in control

Professional updates, clear invoices and a portal they actually use. No more chasing messages all day.

Built for the animals in your care-and the team that looks after them.

DatCog puts playgroups, feed and med rounds, and owner updates in one system so welfare stays visible on every shift for kennels and catteries alike.

Three portals. One kennel system.

Managers run the desk. Staff work the floor from their phone. Owners stay in the loop under your brand.

Staff app

Feed, Play, Pets and clock-in-the same live data as the manager dashboard.

Client portal

Owners request stays, update feeding notes, and pay invoices without calling the desk.

Pet profiles

Photo, feeding, meds and history shared across every login-kennels and catteries.

Facilities that put care first.

“Feed Schedule, Play View and the roster builder replaced three apps for us. Branded invoice emails go out with our logo-owners pay faster.”
Facility operator
Kennel & daycare, New Zealand

“The roster builder with Email Roster and branded payslip PDFs meant we dropped our separate HR tool. Staff actually use the portal on the floor.”
Operations manager
Boarding & grooming

“Clients request stays, view invoices and message us in the portal. Resend emails come from our business name, not a generic noreply.”
