The Problem

You got into this business to care for animals. Not to fight spreadsheets.

Paper intake forms. Missed vaccination dates. Overbookings on holiday weekends. Phone calls from worried pet parents you can't get back to. You need a system that does the busy work so you can do what you love.

๐Ÿ“‹

Paper Chaos

Feeding charts, medication logs, emergency contacts โ€” all scribbled on clipboards that get lost mid-shift.

๐Ÿ“…

Holiday Overbooking

Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4th โ€” your runs fill up fast and manual booking leads to double-bookings or empty spots.

๐Ÿ’‰

Vaccination Tracking

Verifying DHLPP, Bordetella, and Rabies records for every pet at drop-off. One expired vaccine = one turned-away customer.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Pet Parent Anxiety

'How's my dog doing?' texts to your personal cell phone. You'd love to send updates but there's no easy way.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Manual Invoicing

Collecting payments at pickup with a standalone card reader. Chasing unpaid invoices. No recurring billing.

๐Ÿ“Š

Flying Blind

What's your occupancy rate? Revenue per run? Busiest months? Without data, you can't make good business decisions.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Purpose-built for facility boarding. Not a pet-sitting app with boarding bolted on โ€” a tool designed from day one for kennels, suites, and runs.

Visual Booking Calendar

See your entire facility at a glance. Drag-and-drop reservations, real-time availability, and automatic conflict detection. No more double-bookings.

Vaccination Tracking

Pet profiles with vaccination records and expiration dates. Automated reminders sent to pet parents 30 and 60 days before expiry.

Report Cards

Snap photos throughout the day and send them to pet parents with activity updates. The feature they'll tell all their friends about.

Digital Check-In

Pet parents complete feeding instructions, medication notes, and emergency contacts from their phone before arrival. No more clipboards.

Integrated Payments

Online payments via Stripe or Square. Deposits at booking, payment at pickup, or automatic billing. Packages and memberships for daycare regulars.

Business Insights

Occupancy rates, revenue trends, popular services, and customer retention metrics. Finally, answers to the questions you've been guessing at.

Online Booking

A beautiful, mobile-friendly booking page your customers can use 24/7. Embed it on your website or share the link directly.

Automated Reminders

Booking confirmations, upcoming-stay reminders, and vaccination expiry notices โ€” sent automatically via email so you never have to remember.

Staff Management

Role-based accounts for your team. Feeding checklists, medication logs, and shift handover notes. Everyone knows exactly what to do.

How It Works

Up and running in minutes, not months.

1

Set Up Your Facility

Add your runs, suites, and services. Set rates and availability. Import existing customer data if you have it โ€” or start fresh.

2

Invite Your Customers

Share your online booking link. Pet parents create profiles, upload vaccination records, and book their first stay โ€” all self-service.

3

Run Your Business

Manage daily operations from your dashboard. Check-in, feeding logs, report cards, invoicing โ€” it all flows naturally.

Why Goodstay

Built different. On purpose.

The big players got acquired by private equity and stopped caring about small kennels. We're the independent alternative, and we plan to stay that way.

๐Ÿ 

Boarding-First

Not a pet-sitting app with boarding bolted on. Every feature is designed for facilities with runs, suites, and physical spaces.

๐Ÿ”“

Independent Forever

No private equity. No VC funding. No inevitable price hike. Just a product that earns your business every month.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Honest Pricing

No per-staff surcharges. No hidden fees. No forced payment processing. Predictable pricing that grows with you.

Talk to the people who build the product. Not a call center overseas. Not a chatbot. Actual humans who care.
