Can I charge boarding per day?
Free dog boarding software for kennels and catteries
PawsPet Business is free dog boarding software for kennels and catteries: you publish a stay with a per-day price, the owner picks arrival and departure and books online, and you see orders and closures in one calendar. During the stay you record activities, weight and notes on the guest pet. No recurring costs: just 10% per transaction. It does not replace the licences you need to run a boarding business.
Not selling services on PawsPet? Your calendar, clients and pet records are still free.
Pet boarding
Stays, places and updates for your boarding business
Per-day stays with arrival and departure chosen by the owner
In a «Boarding» service you add a «Per day» option: the price applies to each day and the client picks a start and an end date and time. Limit it to dogs, cats or other species, multiply the price by the number of pets and cap the pets per booking.
Maximum capacity and closures, so nobody overbooks you
On each option you set the «Maximum capacity per time slot», the number of pets or orders you accept in the same slot. For holidays, full periods or closures use «Block time» in the calendar: during that interval you get no bookings from the marketplace.
Orders and appointments in the same calendar
Orders with a set date appear in the calendar as blocks coloured by status, with service, client and pets: tap one to open the details and accept it from there. In the same calendar you create appointments by hand, such as a meet-and-greet before the stay.
Record activities, weight and notes during the stay
On the pet's record you log activities, weight, treatments and notes with a date and due date. If the owner uses PawsPet and is linked to your client record, they see type, name, date and note under «Recorded by professionals». Photos go in the order chat.
From the first enquiry to the next appointment.

Frequently asked questions from boarding businesses
- No recurring costs, no subscription and no monthly fee: services, calendar, clients, pet records and orders are free. On every transaction PawsPet keeps 10% of the price you set, Stripe fees included. Example: 7 nights at €25 paid in the app, the client pays €176.75 and you receive €157.50.
- In a «Per day» option the price applies to each day of the stay: the client picks a start date and time and an end date and time when booking. If you turn on «Multiply price by number of pets», the total also follows how many pets they bring, up to the maximum per booking you set. An option's price must be greater than zero.
- Two tools. On each option, «Maximum capacity per time slot» sets how many pets or orders you accept in the same slot. For a whole period, in the «Agenda» tab open ☰ » «Closing hours» » «Block time», turn on «All day» and set the dates: during that interval you receive no bookings from the marketplace. Remove it with «Delete block».
- Yes, if they use PawsPet and are linked to your client record (they booked in the app or accepted your invite): in their pet's profile, under «Recorded by professionals», they find type, name, date, due date and note. They can add a note, not edit your data. They get no notification and see neither photos nor the weight value: use the order chat for those.
- It covers the management side: a profile in the «Boarding» category, services with a per-day price, online bookings, calendar, clients and card payments through Stripe. It does not replace legal requirements: licences, permits, premises and records are still up to you.
