Everything it does
One system, not modules you pay extra for. This is the whole list.
Taking the booking
- Your booking form, on your websiteOne line of code on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, anywhere you can paste it.
- Real space and a real priceChecks what's actually free, prices the nights, extras, peak dates and extra pets.
- Shot records, checked properlyAgainst the day they go home, not just today. Photograph the card and it reads the dates.
- Your agreement, signed onlineYour wording, their signature, and a PDF copy to both of you.
- Deposit taken there and thenCard payment into your own account. The space isn't held until it's paid.
Running the day
- TodayWho's arriving, who's going home, who's in, and anything that needs you.
- Every pet on fileFeeding, medicines, allergies, belongings, vet and emergency contact.
- Where each animal isIn their cabin, at play, being groomed, at the vet. One tap to change it.
- “Can you keep him three more days?”Re-checks room and shots, prices only the extra nights, sends the invoice.
- Owners and their historyEvery stay, every pet, everything they've spent, in one place.
Getting paid
- Deposits, balances, part paymentsRaised automatically as the booking moves, so nothing is invoiced by hand.
- Card payments into your accountStraight to your own Stripe account. We never touch the money and take no cut.
- Your deposit and cancellation rulesSet the percentage and the notice window; peak dates can carry their own.
- Refunds and credit notesProperly recorded, so the numbers still add up afterwards.
- What you're owed, and what's latePlus a file your bookkeeper can open without asking you anything.
Winning the work
- Every enquiry on one boardWebsite forms, phone calls and walk-ins, with what each one is worth.
- A quick-question formFor people who aren't ready to book yet. It lands on the same board.
- Follow-ups that know the dogThe abandoned booking, the missing shot, the balance due, written from the real booking, by email. Nothing sends until you've read it.
- Missed-call text-backComing soonA caller who gets voicemail is texted back with your booking link before they ring anyone else.
- Two-way textingComing soonTheir replies land on the same board as everything else, so the whole conversation is in one thread.
Dogs, cats, and everyone who looks after them
Catteries and grooming
Condos and suites, indoor-only, declawed, which litter they’re used to. Cats get their own shots list: rabies and FVRCP, never a dog vaccine.
The same enquiry, before and after
How it goes now Six jobs, and they can leave at every one

At 9pm on a Sunday it sits in voicemail until Monday, and they’ve booked somewhere else by Saturday.
How it goes with Growhound Nobody touches it
- They ask
- Real space, real price
- Their details
- Shot records checked
- Agreement signed
- Deposit paid
- Booked
About four minutes on their phone, at any hour. Under a minute the second time, because you already have everything.
The bit that stops a bad day
It won’t let a dog in on a shot that runs out mid-stay.
Every other system checks whether a shot is valid today. Bordetella only lasts six months, so one that’s fine when they book is routinely expired halfway through Christmas week.
We check it against the day they go home. The booking simply won’t go through until it’s right, not a warning someone can click past. Records live with the pet, not the booking, so you ask once and never again.
Change the pick-up date and watch it turn.
Bailey
Dropping off 6 Nov
Those dates are fine
Bordetella covers all 7 nights, right through to the 13 Nov pick-up.
The shot is in date on the day Bailey arrives, whichever you pick. That is all any other system checks.
And then it runs the rest of it
Not modules you pay extra for. This is what’s in there.
Every pet on file
Feeding, medicines, allergies, belongings, who to call. Where each animal is right now, in one tap.
