Boarding

Dog boarding software that shares one calendar with your walks

Most UK home boarders also walk. PawLoop treats overnight stays and daily walks as parts of the same diary, so you can see capacity, avoid clashes and bill everything on one invoice.

Board a dog for five nights, keep walking your regulars around it, and let the software work out what's owed.

01Stays

Multi-night stays booked in seconds

Pick the client, the dogs, the drop-off and pick-up dates, and the stay appears across every day it covers on the calendar — not as a single confusing event on day one.

Pricing is per night, set per boarding type and adjustable per client if you've agreed a different rate with a long-standing family.

02Capacity

See clashes before you say yes

Because boarding sits on the same calendar as walks, a half-term week with three dogs in the house is obvious at a glance rather than a nasty surprise.

Booking a walk for a dog that's already boarding with you is handled sensibly, so the same dog isn't double-charged for care you're already providing.

03Care notes

Feeding, medication and routine in one place

Each dog keeps a full profile — breed, age, temperament, lead and harness preferences, feeding schedule, medication, allergies, vet and emergency contacts — with a photo so anyone covering knows the right dog.

Boarding is when those details matter most, and they're on the phone in your pocket rather than in a text from three weeks ago.

04Owners

Collect the details before the dog arrives

Share your private onboarding link and the owner fills in their own contact details, address, vet, emergency contact and everything about each dog. You get an email the moment it lands and onboard them in one click.

No typing someone else's phone number wrong, and nothing is created in your account until you approve it.

05Money

Boarding and walks on the same invoice

Completed stays flow into the same invoicing and payments flow as walks. Generate one branded invoice per client covering both, send it, and mark it paid — every linked booking updates with it.

Reports show income by walk type and by client, so you can see what boarding is genuinely contributing.

06Paperwork

Licences, insurance and contracts to hand

Home boarding in England needs a licence from your local council, and owners increasingly ask to see it. Keep the licence, your insurance certificate and your boarding contract in the document hub and share them with a client when they ask.

Check your own council's requirements — rules and fees vary by local authority.
