Doggy daycare software for playgroups and report cards
Doggie daycare software for the yard and the desk: playgroups, check-in, feed rounds and a staff app. 14 days free.
14 days free. No card.
Doggy daycare software has to survive the morning rush: dogs arriving in a wave, groups that change with temperament, and meds signed off before pickup. DatCog is doggie daycare software for that day. Play View tracks friends and hard separations, check-in assigns the group, and report cards go home with photos and who they played with. It is the dog day care app your yard staff open on their phones, and the desk your manager uses for arrivals. Plans start at US$54, A$82, £42 or NZ$90 a month. 14-day trial, no card.
Play View: safe groups every shift
Build playgroups visually with categories like Small Pack, Big Pack and Solo Walks. DatCog remembers who gets along, who had an incident and blocks unsafe combinations automatically.
- Configurable playgroup categories in Settings
- Drag dogs between columns; mark friends or report incidents
- High-risk dogs cannot join incompatible playgroups
- Social status dots and conflict validation on every move
- Assign playgroup at check-in with vaccination gating
Daycare bookings and check-in
Manage one-off and recurring daycare bookings alongside boarding stays. Check-in captures everything your floor team needs for the day.
- Daycare as a main service with pricing tiers
- Include daycare pets on the Feed Schedule with Boarding filter
- Quick Check In for walk-in and pre-booked arrivals
- Dashboard Today's Actions: meds, walks, Pro Groom and manager tasks
- Waitlists when you're at capacity
Staff app for the yard
Kennel hands open Feed, Play and Pets from their phone. Clock in, complete medication tasks, report incidents and chat with the team, with the same live data as the manager dashboard.
Same-day report cards
Pickup is when owners decide if they come back. Staff send a daycare card with photos, mood and play friends from the dogs already in the building, as a branded link or PDF.
- Photos and who they played with
- Daycare and boarding cards from one workflow
- Branded link or PDF under your daycare name
- Play friends can update the relationship rules in Play View

Frequently asked questions
Is doggy daycare software the same as doggie daycare software?
Yes. People search both. DatCog is the same product: playgroups with separation rules, check-in, report cards and a staff app for the yard.
Is there a dog day care app?
Yes. Staff install the DatCog app on their phone from the browser. They run Feed, Play, clock-in and the day's groups without a separate App Store product.
Can owners book daycare online?
Owners request a day through the client portal and you approve it. Instant self-serve confirmation is on the roadmap. The trial shows the request queue as it works today.
Can DatCog handle daycare and boarding together?
Yes. Both are main services. The dashboard, feed sheet and play view show daycare and boarding pets together or filtered separately.
