Boarding report cards that put owners at ease

Every day of the stay, send owners a branded update: how their dog settled, what they got up to, and how many sleeps until home. The reassurance that earns the next booking.

  • Your page shows live hours, prices from, and the dogs whose owners said yes

Book again in one tap.

The Dogdoor remembers the dog, the last groom and the add-ons it likes; regulars keep their groomer and their rhythm. A return visit is one tap, and paid.

  • One tap books the same dog and the same groom, with Apple Pay, Google Pay or the saved card
  • A pay link by text, a QR code at the counter, a receipt that opens the card
  • Deposits or paid in full up front, paid out daily. One rate, all in, and the software is free when payments run through dogmode

Frequently asked questions

Can owners follow their dog's whole boarding stay?

Yes. The boarding card is one evolving page you update each day with photos and notes. Owners just reopen the same link to see the latest, no account needed.

How does this reduce anxious-owner messages?

By getting ahead of them. A daily update with photos and how their dog settled answers the questions before they're asked, so owners relax and trust you.

Does it work for in-home and kennel boarding?

Both. The card captures where the dog is staying, who's caring for them, the daily routine and a countdown home, however you board.

How long does it take to set up dogmode for a boarder?

About a minute to start, and your first report card can go out today. We move your customer list for you, free, from MoeGo, Cliniko, Bookly or a spreadsheet.

Can my customers book boarding online?

Yes. Your own booking page, your website, the report card and your Marketplace listing all lead to your diary, with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card at checkout.

Does dogmode take payments for boarders?

Yes, through Stripe: up front, at pickup, a deposit or a pay link by text, at one flat rate that includes card processing. Run your bookings and payments through dogmode and the software itself is $0.

Will it work with the booking system I use today?

Usually in a day: we move your list over for you. If you need to keep your current system, a custom integration (Bookly and others) is set up once, and bookings land in your diary from day one.

Can I run more than one location?

Yes. Unlimited locations in one login, each with its own diary, staff and prices, billed per location with nothing per staff member.

What do owners see?

The Dogdoor: their dog's report cards, photos, bookings and chat, opened from a text with no app store and no password.

What does it cost a boarder?

One flat monthly price per location, less for a solo business (in your money on the pricing page), with a 7-day free trial and no card to start. Bookings paid through dogmode replace the subscription, dollar for dollar, down to $0.

Built for every kind of dog business.
