Kennel and Cattery Software That Replaces the Wall Planner

With Mythex a boarding kennel or cattery can build a booking system that counts runs night by night, an owner portal for vaccination certificates, feeding notes and daily photos, a record of how each pet settled, deposits for peak dates and an add-on shop for baths and extra walks. Describe your kennels in chat, test it in the live preview and publish.

Full when everyone is on holiday, empty in February

Summer, Christmas and bank holiday weekends book out months ahead; wet weekdays in winter do not. Each stay needs a run of the right size, in the right block, for every night of the booking, and families with two dogs may want them together. Before arrival you need proof of vaccination that is still valid on the last night, the vet's details, feeding amounts, medication times and any behaviour notes. During the stay owners phone for news. When it is all on a wall planner and paper forms, double-bookings and missed medication are the two things that keep owners awake.

Availability by run type for every night of a stay
Vaccination expiry checked against departure date
Feeding, medication and behaviour notes per pet
Daily photo updates owners can expect
Deposits and minimum stays on peak dates
Add-ons like a bath before going home

What you can build for pet boarding kennels

Bookings counted run by run, night by night

Set how many runs you have of each size and how many cattery pens. A booking is refused or flagged if any night would go over. Two dogs from one family can share a run. Peak dates apply a minimum stay and deposit automatically, and returning customers get a short priority window.

Build a booking system for my boarding kennel with 20 dog runs (12 standard, 8 large) and 10 cattery pens. Owners book arrival and departure dates for one or more pets. Refuse bookings if any night is full. Dogs from the same family can share a run. Peak dates need a 3-night minimum and a deposit.

An owner portal with certificates and daily photos

Owners upload vaccination certificates and enter feeding, medication and vet details before arrival. During the stay, staff post one photo and a line a day for each pet.

Make an owner portal for a kennel. Owners add pets with breed, vet, vaccination certificate and expiry date, feeding and medication instructions. During a stay, staff upload a daily photo and note per pet that the owner sees.

How each pet settled, remembered

Each pet's temperament, diet, allergies, group play suitability and a note after every stay on eating and sleeping. Owners who stayed last summer and have not booked appear on a list.

Create a pet and owner CRM for a kennel with temperament, diet, allergies, group play yes or no and a settling note after each stay. List owners who stayed in the same period last year without a booking this year.

Nightly rates by size and season

Rates per night by species, size and season, multi-pet discounts, add-ons and the deposit deducted on the final bill.

Add invoicing for a kennel with nightly rates by dog size, cats and season, a second-pet discount, add-ons as lines and the deposit deducted from the final invoice.

Add-ons owners choose at booking

Bath before pickup, extra walks, one-to-one play and gift vouchers, bought online with the stay.

Build an add-on shop for kennel stays: bath before going home, extra walk per day, one-to-one playtime and gift vouchers, added to a booking at checkout.

Food and medication stock

The common food brands you keep for guests, bedding and cleaning supplies, with reorder levels.

Make an inventory list for a kennel with food brands, bedding, cleaning products and quantities, reorder levels and a weekly check screen.

A website that shows where they will sleep

Real photos of runs and play areas, a typical day, vaccination rules and an invitation to visit before the first stay.

Build a website for our boarding kennel and cattery with real photos of runs and pens, a typical day, prices, vaccination requirements, peak booking rules and a form to book a visit.

From wall planner to app

Enter your runs first, then copy every future booking from the planner, peak season first. Check the busiest week on screen against the wall before you take it down. Ask existing customers to upload certificates in the portal when they next book, rather than retyping paper records.

Medication rounds

Pets on medication should appear on a daily round list by time, with the dose and a tick for staff to record each one given. It is the single most important screen in the app on a busy August day.

Questions

Can the booking system stop me overbooking runs?

Yes. Set your runs by type and the app checks every night of a stay before confirming it.

Can it check vaccinations?

Yes. Store each vaccine's expiry date and ask the app to flag bookings where it expires before departure. Which vaccinations you require is your decision, with your vet.

Can owners pay a deposit online?

Yes, through a payment provider you connect with your own account.

Do I need to code?

No. You describe your kennels and rules in chat and change them the same way.

Is it free?

Free lets you build and publish with no card. Pro is $25 a month for a custom domain, more credits and phone apps that open your published app.
