Occupancy with bed-night logic
Review arrivals, departures, live stays, capacity, turnover, and care load across the date range.
A live operating layer for every stay
Dog boarding software for reservations, care, and handovers
BarkBase dog boarding and kennel management software connects stay requests, quotes, eligibility, occupancy, arrivals, departures, daily care, belongings, medications, team handovers, credits, and billing. Teams can manage the stay as an active care workflow rather than a block on a calendar.
Structured care journals
Record configurable daily observations, severity, notes, and photo attachments without losing the timeline.
Operational handovers
Bring feeding, medication, incidents, belongings, tasks, notes, and acknowledgements into shift change.
Eligibility and credits
Connect trials, approvals, membership credits, waitlists, pricing, and payment requirements to each request.
Manage more than the reservation
A boarding reservation becomes a live care responsibility at check-in. Staff need current information about feeding, medication, compatibility, belongings, daily observations, incidents, scheduled tasks, and the customer's instructions. A calendar alone cannot carry that operating context safely through multiple shifts.
BarkBase connects the commercial and care sides of the stay. The original request, quote, eligibility, payment, pet profile, operational notes, and daily record remain available without copying information into separate documents.
- Stay requests, quotes, approvals, trials, and waitlists
- Occupancy calendar and timeline views
- Expected, in-care, departed, and overdue states
- Belongings, feeding, medication, care notes, and attachments
- Shift-handover tasks, acknowledgements, and incident context
See occupancy and care load before accepting the stay
Capacity is affected by more than the number of physical spaces. Arrivals, departures, same-day turnover, compatible accommodation, medication workload, and first-stay requirements all influence what a team can operate well.
BarkBase gives managers date-based occupancy context alongside stay details. This supports a more informed approval process and helps the team prepare for the shape of the day rather than discovering it during check-in.
Give every shift the same current record
Boarding work crosses mornings, evenings, weekends, and staff changes. Important details can disappear when one shift relies on verbal updates or a collection of notes that were not acknowledged.
Structured journals and handovers give teams a consistent place to review observations, concerns, feeding, medication, incidents, belongings, tasks, and upcoming changes. Configurable questions allow the record to reflect the facility's operating process without reducing care to free-form text alone.
- Configurable daily journal questions
- Ok, watch, and concern severity states
- Notes and photo attachments
- Shift sign-off and acknowledgement history
- Tasks, incidents, damage reports, and upcoming moves
Connect membership and pricing rules to holiday demand
Peak periods create special pricing, eligibility, priority, minimum-stay, discount, and credit decisions. BarkBase can connect the request to configured membership and commercial rules so the team can understand the basis of the quote and approval without consulting a separate ledger.
