Pet boarding software for kennels and catteries
Arrivals, departures, occupancy, feed rounds and owner updates — one calm system for boarding facilities.
Running a boarding facility means juggling arrivals at the desk and care on the floor at the same time. DatCog pet boarding software gives managers a dashboard with today's check-ins, occupancy projection and quick links to feed sheets and playgroups. Staff complete the same care tasks from their phones. Owners stay informed through a branded client portal.
Boarding operations from check-in to checkout
Every boarding stay is tracked from booking through checkout with payment, balance due and branded invoice delivery.
- Today's Arrivals & Departures with Quick Check In / Quick Check Out
- Occupancy by area with peak projection and fullscreen view
- Dog kennels and cat spaces tracked separately
- Vaccination gating at check-in when mandatory vaccines are configured
- Checkout records Cash, Card, EFTPOS, Bank Transfer or Account credit
Daily care built into boarding software
Boarding isn't just a calendar slot — it's feeding, medications and safe social time. DatCog includes these as core modules, not paid add-ons.
- Feed Schedule: kitchen stats, Our/Own food filters, printable rounds
- AM/PM medication sign-off with staff initials and manager visibility
- Play View: drag-and-drop groups with friends, incidents and separation blocks
- Incident reporting and photo approval workflow
- Care updates shared with pet owners through the client portal
Professional client experience
Pet owners expect clear communication and easy billing. DatCog sends booking confirmations and invoice emails from your kennel name, and owners can view, print and pay from the portal.
