Kennel Booking System, Built with AI
A kennel booking system has to check every night of a stay against the runs you actually have, not just the arrival date. Describe your runs, pens and peak rules to Mythex and it builds online booking with a real database that stops double-bookings and flags out-of-date vaccinations before the pet arrives.
Who it's for
Boarding kennels and catteries running on a wall planner or paper diary, taking bookings by phone and finding the clash only when two dogs arrive for one run.
What you can build
- Runs by size and block, cattery pens separate
- Availability counted for every night of a stay
- Two dogs from one family sharing a run
- Minimum stays and deposits on peak dates
- Vaccination expiry checked against departure
- A priority window for returning customers
Count nights, not bookings
A ten-night stay that starts in a quiet week and runs into a bank holiday is only possible if every one of those nights has a free run. Set up your runs by type and the system checks each night before confirming. Give staff a grid view of runs by night, which is what the wall planner did well, with the clash checking it never had.
- Per-night availability per run type
- Grid view for staff
- Shared runs reduce capacity correctly
Peak rules that apply themselves
Mark peak periods once: summer holidays, Christmas, long weekends. Bookings that touch them get a minimum stay, a non-refundable deposit and your peak rate automatically. Open peak dates to returning customers a week or two before everyone else; you fill the busiest nights with pets you know.
Paperwork before arrival
Ask for each pet's vaccination dates and certificate at booking, and flag any vaccine that expires before departure. Collect feeding, medication and vet details at the same time, so arrival day is a handover rather than a form-filling session at the gate.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not let cat bookings use dog capacity or the other way round. Do not forget a cleaning gap if a run needs one between guests. And bring every future booking from the planner into the system before you go live, peak weeks first, then check them side by side.
A prompt to start from
Build a booking system for my kennel with 12 standard runs, 8 large runs and 10 cattery pens. Owners book arrival and departure for one or more pets, and the system checks every night for a free run of the right type. Two dogs from one family can share a run. Peak dates need a 3-night minimum and a non-refundable deposit, and returning customers can book peak dates 14 days before everyone else. Flag vaccinations that expire before departure.
Questions
Can it stop me overbooking runs?
Yes. Set how many runs of each type you have and the system refuses or flags any booking that would exceed them on any night.
Can owners book cats and dogs in one booking?
Yes. A booking can hold several pets, each using the right kind of space.
Can I take deposits for holiday dates?
Yes, through a payment provider you connect with your own account. The deposit can apply only to peak dates.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe your runs and rules in chat and change them the same way.
What does it cost?
You can build and publish on Free with no card. Pro is $25 a month for a custom domain, more credits and code export.
