Online booking for small animal boarders
Take bookings, deposits and vaccination records in one place. Your customers book online, you see every hutch and cage on one planner, and receipts go out on their own.
Built and used every day at Redbeck Rabbit Boarding, Bradford.
Still booking by message, phone and paper diary?
Most small animal boarders run on Facebook messages and a diary full of crossings out. It works, until it doesn't. With Small Pet Bookings every stay looks like this: dates, pets, money and vaccinations in one place.
Bramble and Hazel
Double bookings
Two pairs promised the same hutch for the same week, found out on the day.
Chasing paperwork
Vaccination cards forgotten at home, deposits you can't remember taking, balances nobody paid.
Evenings lost to admin
Working out prices, writing confirmations and answering "are you free in August?" one message at a time.
Everything a small boarder needs, nothing you don't
One simple system that runs your bookings from the first enquiry to the day they go home.
Online booking page
Customers pick dates, accommodation and pets, and see the price before they ask. Share the link anywhere.
Planner for every unit
Every hutch, cage and run on one screen, so you can see who is in, who is arriving and what is free.
Prices worked out for you
Your rates for singles, pairs and groups, plus extras like grooming and medication, added up automatically.
Vaccination records
Customers upload their vaccination card when they book. You check it once and it stays on the booking.
Deposits and receipts
Mark a deposit or full payment received and the customer gets an emailed receipt straight away.
Emails sent for you
New booking alerts to you, confirmations and invoices to your customer, all in your business name.
Find any booking fast
Search by customer, pet or reference and pull up the whole booking in seconds.
Waiting list
Full for the summer? Keep a waiting list so you know exactly who to call when a space comes up.
Works on phone and tablet
Run the day from an iPad in the shed or a phone in your pocket. Nothing to install.
Up and running in an afternoon
Add your units and prices
Tell it what accommodation you have, how many of each, which animals go where and what you charge.
Share your booking link
Put it on your website, Facebook page or Find Pet Boarding listing. Customers book and upload their cards.
Accept, take the deposit, done
Accept with one tap. The customer gets their confirmation and receipts, and the planner fills itself in.
Built for small animals, not adapted from dog kennels
Kennel software is made for dogs and cats. Small Pet Bookings starts from how small animal boarding actually works.

Proven at a working boarding business
Small Pet Bookings started life as the booking system for Redbeck Rabbit Boarding in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The booking page, planner, deposits, receipts and vaccination cards all run there every day, with real customers and real rabbits.
Questions
Do I need my own website?
No. You get your own booking page with its own link. If you do have a website or Facebook page, just add the link to it.
Will my customers know it's my business?
Yes. Your booking page, emails and receipts carry your business name and details.
How do customers pay?
They pay you the way they do now. You record the deposit and balance in the system and it sends the receipts.
Can customers upload vaccination cards?
Yes, as a photo or PDF when they book. You can view it on the booking and mark it checked.
Is it hard to set up?
If you can fill in a form, you can set it up. If you'd rather not, we'll do it for you.
