Kennel Management

Kennel software that knows which run every dog is in

Draw your facility once. After that, the same floor plan drives the occupancy board, the front desk, the day's care schedule and the card on the run door. No whiteboard, no clipboard, no second copy of anything to keep in sync.

HeelYeah! is the all-in-one platform for the whole client journey, from first inquiry to lifelong client. It captures leads through your own funnel, then runs sessions, classes, board & train, day training, homework, and billing in one place, so you win more clients and the ones you win actually stick.

Live kennel board showing occupancy across every run, with a needs-attention rail

One floor plan, the whole building

Every kennel screen reads the same layout, so occupancy, availability, care and paperwork can never drift apart.

Live Occupancy Board

Every run in the building on one screen, in grid, timeline or list view, colour-coded by stay type. Occupied, arrivals, departures, day guests, runs in turnover and vaccines due across the top, and a rail at the front for any dog booked in but still waiting on a run.

The Needs-Attention Rail

The things that bite you at 5pm, listed before they do: a vaccine expiring before checkout, a dog with no run assigned, a run that has been in turnover all afternoon, a run flagged out of service, a double-booked run, and care that came due and was never ticked. Flip any run to available, cleaning or out of service from the floor plan and it stops being offered as free capacity until somebody finishes the turnover.

Front Desk That Runs The Door

Today's arrivals and departures side by side with vaccination status on every row, the in-house list, and an availability finder that answers "have you got room for a Great Dane the week of the 14th?" in one query. Check in, check out, assign or move a run without leaving the screen.

The Care Floor

The whole building's feeding, medication, turnout, potty, play and grooming for the day, grouped into morning, midday and evening, with the dose and the amount on the row so nobody has to go and look it up. Tick it as it happens; anything that came due and did not get done surfaces on the board.

A House Routine Every Dog Inherits

Set the facility's feed, medication and turnout slots once and every boarding dog picks them up automatically. Any dog can be adjusted on top of it, and those adjustments keep their identity when you change the house routine, so a dog on an 18:00 turnout the rest of the building stopped doing still gets one and says so.

Boarding Requests, Queued

Clients request a stay from their own portal, a run is held for it automatically, and it waits in a Requests queue with the closest to expiry at the top. You approve or decline; approving raises the invoice at your per-night rate. Turn client-submitted requests off whenever you want.

🐾

A day in the building, in order.

  • Before the day starts: the board says who is arriving, who is leaving, and whose vaccines expire before checkout
  • The dog arrives: check in at the desk, confirm the feeding and medication with the owner, print the kennel card as the dog walks to its run
  • Through the day: the care floor lists every feed, dose and turnout in the building, ticked off as it happens
  • Anything missed: raised on the board rather than discovered tomorrow
  • A run empties: flip it to cleaning, and it stops being offered as free space until turnover is done
  • A client asks for next month: their request queues up with a run already held against it, waiting on your yes
  • The dog goes home: check out at the desk, and the balance is collected against the stay

Arrivals and departures

Who is coming in, who is going home, vaccination status on every row, and check-in or check-out one click away.

Boarding requests queue listing client-submitted stays awaiting a decision

Requests waiting on you

Client-submitted stays with a run already held against them, ordered so the one closest to losing its hold is always next.

Kennel management questions

You draw it once, and it takes minutes rather than an afternoon. Drop in standard runs, boarding suites, isolation or medical runs, play yards, rooms and wall labels, drag them into position on a snapping grid, and group them into named zones like a Board & Train wing or a boarding aisle. Every other kennel screen reads that one layout, so nothing has to be set up twice.
It is the sheet that gets taped to the run door: the dog's feeding plan, medications, belongings, care schedule and notes. HeelYeah! offers to print it the moment the dog is checked in, every print re-renders from live data, and the board flags a card that needs reprinting once that dog's schedule has changed.
Yes, and nothing is booked until you say so. A client picks the dog and the dates in their portal, the request lands in a Requests queue with a run held against it, and you approve or decline. Approving raises the invoice at your per-night rate and extras. You can switch client-submitted requests off entirely.
Yes. Boarding, day guests, grooming and board & train dogs all share the same board and the same floor plan, colour-coded by stay type, and each run can be restricted to the stay types it is actually suitable for. Board & train dogs assigned a real run show that run on their program page too.
Set a house care routine once: the feed, medication and turnout slots every boarding dog inherits. Any individual dog can then be adjusted on top of it. The Care Floor then shows the building's whole day grouped into morning, midday and evening, each row ticked off as it happens, with anything overdue raised on the board.
