Admissions with context
Track meet-and-greets, trials, documents, approvals, first-day limits, and eligibility before regular attendance begins.
From meet-and-greet to pickup
Dog daycare management software for the full operating day
BarkBase dog daycare management software connects admissions, online booking, attendance, memberships, capacity, waitlists, care notes, transport, payments, and customer communication. Your front desk and care team work from the same live plan instead of separate calendars and spreadsheets.
Capacity you can operate
Set daily and pack-level limits, apply member priority, and keep waitlists connected to real availability.
Membership operations
Support fixed-day and flexible plans, credits, swaps, pauses, makeups, extra days, and expiry rules.
A usable day board
Give staff one place for arrivals, attendance, groups, handovers, tasks, late pickups, and exceptions.
Replace the daycare spreadsheet with a live operating plan
A booking calendar answers who is expected. A daycare operating system must also answer who has arrived, which group each dog belongs in, whether capacity is still safe, what care information matters, who needs transport, and which exceptions require attention.
BarkBase turns the schedule into a working day board. Reservations, attendance, care details, tasks, handovers, and customer records remain connected, so a change at the front desk does not need to be copied into a second system for the care team.
- Expected, checked-in, checked-out, no-show, and late-pickup states
- Pack and group assignments with capacity rules
- Behavior, health, feeding, and operational notes
- Staff tasks and shift-handover context
- Attendance and daily operating statistics
Turn recurring attendance into manageable membership revenue
Daycare plans create predictable demand and revenue, but only if the underlying rules are enforceable. Manual ledgers make it difficult to track fixed days, flexible credits, pauses, swaps, makeups, expiry, and member priority consistently.
BarkBase keeps entitlement and booking activity together. Teams can understand why a booking is allowed, which credit was used, and what remains available without reconstructing the customer history from messages and spreadsheets.
- Fixed-day and flexible daycare plans
- Credit balances, rollover, expiry, and redemption history
- Plan pauses, approved swaps, and policy-based makeups
- Extra-day purchases and member-priority waitlists
Manage admissions before they become front-desk exceptions
New dogs often require a sequence of steps before full attendance: application details, documents, a meet-and-greet, trial attendance, and an approval decision. When that sequence lives in email, staff can accept a booking without seeing an incomplete requirement.
A connected admission flow makes the dog's current status visible and gives the team a repeatable path from first enquiry to the right plan. This reduces last-minute uncertainty without treating every dog or facility policy as identical.
Coordinate pickup and drop-off as a paid service
Transport adds addresses, service zones, vehicle capacity, route order, driver availability, time windows, and status updates to the daycare day. BarkBase can connect pickup and drop-off requests with routing and attendance so completing a stop can update the operational record rather than creating another manual handoff.
- Address validation and service-radius rules
- Pickup and drop-off route views
- Time-window, vehicle-capacity, and stop-order considerations
- Transport pricing based on configured service rules
