Over Kennel Booker
Een mobielvriendelijke, cloudgebaseerde softwareoplossing voor kennelbeheer en online reserveringen en boekingen. Bespaar meer dan 10 uur per week
I not only work in a vet clinic, but we also have a groomer that utilizes our kennel space. With kennel saver we have the ability to book and label patients that are visiting with us.
I would like to be able to pick holes in this software but am having trouble thinking of anything. Again, anything that isnt as I need it, I just let to know and will amend the software.

KennelBooker was the best thing I did starting up
Opmerkingen: I love it. I looked at other booking software and this is the best for the value by far.
Pluspunten:
It is so easy to use, track vaccinations, organize bookings and see my daily to do
Minpunten:
I would love an app I can send my clients. I would also like to be able to put private clients notes (like if we have had any issues in the past)

Thank you for your wonderful review!

We appreciate your suggestions about having a dedicated app for clients and adding the ability to include private client notes. These are great ideas, and we’ll definitely consider them as we work to improve the software. Thank you for choosing Kennelbooker and for recognizing its value compared to other alternatives. We’re here to support you as your business grows!
Big fan of KB
Opmerkingen: We've had an overall great experience.
Pluspunten:
Easy of contacting customer service, for my entire team. I needed software that the team members could troubleshoot so it made my life easier. We like almost everything about Kennel Booker and the things we would change are pretty minimal.
Minpunten:
I listed most of them on the previous screen. I didn't list one thing that would help tremendously and is probably one of the most stressful parts of my life during Dec/Jan. The subscriptions and the services are very difficult to update pricing for. The subscriptions are tied to Stripe, so I am sure there's not much that can be done about that. I noticed when we updated prices that we had to manually change them in each portal location for each scheduled service.

We’re committed to making your experience even better as you continue to grow, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!
Lovely and confusing
Opmerkingen: Purpose wise, our needs are met. But It would be awesowe to be able to decide what yoy would like on the "first page" så the features we use more often could be easy access...
Pluspunten:
I like the fact that you are aloud to klick on different parts in the program and still manage to get to were you want. there is not just an ONLY WAY of access, but several.
Minpunten:
The fact that we still have't figured out how two customers that booket the same dates of stay - and get different quantity of days/nights. One had 7 nights and the other one 8 nights... How come? :) And some functions is hidden in text that work like links but with no appearence of that function...

We're glad to hear that you appreciate the flexibility of navigating through Kennelbooker and that it meets your needs overall. Regarding the number of day/nights the system lets you charge for an additional day/night if checkout is not before a certain time, eg if the pet is not collected by 5pm an additional nights fee would be added to the booking. Also on set up switching from nightly based bookings to daily based bookings would mean a Mon-Fri booking would be counted as 4 nights or 5 days depending on your preferred pricing. We've already taken some of your suggestions and added them to the system! Thank you for choosing Kennelbooker for its affordability and fit for your business. We’re always here to help if you need further assistance!

Good program
Opmerkingen: it has been an ok program to work with. good for the industry
Pluspunten:
good at keeping client information, and online bookings
Minpunten:
the individual pages get bogged down, when you use the activity portal, we had to create our own airtable to record activity, since we have dogs that stay with us long team. Also, when a client has multiple dogs boarding, it will not separate them out on the boarding calendar, so if the client has 5 dogs, it will show all 5 dogs in 5 different slots on the calendar (this sucks). would love for the activities to have a portal on the daily overview page, so that you could from there input items, but that will only be helpful if you can keep the individual dog pages from bogging down.

Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad to hear that KennelBooker has been a good fit for managing client information and online bookings, and that it seemed like the better option for your business needs. We appreciate your feedback regarding the activity portal and how individual pages can get bogged down. We updated this to add paging for when adding so many activity records, most bookings tend to be 1-2 weeks in duration, in your case they last for months and we hadn't factored this into the design of the activity feature. You can also now quick record feeding and medications from the daily overview screen. Thank you for choosing KennelBooker and for sharing your insights. We're here to help improve your experience and make the system even better for your needs!

Best Bang for your Buck
Pluspunten:
Great customer service -[SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team are very responsive and take customer feedback into account when making updates! The cost is fantastic, and a lot of features are customizable in the settings, from what individual pet spaces are called (runs, rooms, kennels, etc.) to what invoices and run cards look like. The built in email capabilities are awesome - that alone has saved us so much time.
Minpunten:
The overall interface can be a little clunky from time to time, and periodically there are system glitches. They’re always solved quickly, but are frustrating nonetheless. Looking at the calendar from one month to the next isn’t possible without changing pages, which makes viewing reservations over those periods a little more challenging.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that you find KennelBooker to be a great value, and we're happy that the customer service and built-in email capabilities have been saving you time and enhancing your experience. Customizability is something we prioritize, so it's great to know that features like invoice and run card customizations are working well for your business. The booking calendar is quite complicated to display, and a lot of information needs to be pulled out of the database to display all of the bookings, in order to make the calendar display quickly we have limited it to show bookings on a month to month basis. We hope to allow for scrolling and automatic loading of data in the future. Thank you for choosing KennelBooker for its price and responsiveness, and for trusting us to help streamline your operations. We're here to support you and continue making the platform even better!

Dog Daycare
Opmerkingen: Puts the customer in charge but allows the business to control the extent
Pluspunten:
Easy to use, once set up this software is a dream. Customers have the ability to book in which makes the business run so much more efficiently. With the exception of the con below generally very happy
Minpunten:
One issue really .... Example Tuesday evening, you have set out customer name boards for all the dogs who are booked in for Wednesday say 45 dogs You arrive Wed morning and you now have 55 dogs now booked in.....there is no way on KB to see who the extra 10 are !!!!

Easy to use, but very powerful.
Opmerkingen: It makes running my cattery so much easier. I can't say there's anything that I don't like about KennelBooker. There have been a couple of things where I've thought "This could be better", and I've emailed the rep and he's fixed it the very next day!
Pluspunten:
KennelBooker includes everything I've needed to get my Cattery admin running smoothly - customer and pet records, booking schedule, at-a-glance views of which rooms are in use at any one time... On top of that, it has an excellent, yet simple, online booking tool for customers to use. It's mobile friendly too, so I can easily check the schedule and confirm online bookings when I'm out and about. I've been able to start slowly, making use of only the bits I needed, and then started using more and more of the features as I've settled into the business. First I just used it for bookings, then I started logging vaccination details, then uploading scans of vaccination certificates, pet photos, dietary notes, then I turned on the online booking, and now I'm exploring the online payments integration. One of the customer rep is very responsive to feedback and has made a couple of tweaks that I've asked for very quickly.

Very Simple Software For Kennel Owners
Opmerkingen: If you aren't extremely tech savvy, or simply looking for a very easy way to manage your kennel business- Kennel Booker really can't be beat. It's extremely intuitive and takes only a few minutes to really figure out all of the features. If you're looking for software with a lot of extra features, there are better options out there.
Pluspunten:
Out of all of the kennel boarding software that I have used, Kennel Booker is by far one of the simplest interfaces. It's very easy to navigate and has a very simple layout that makes booking, tracking, and managing appointments very easy. If you have a kennel that provides other services (daycare, training, etc) you can also manage all of those aspects in the same place- and can even view all appointments varying different services on the same page- which is very nice if you have only one or two employees managing all aspects of your work.
Minpunten:
I have switched to other boarding software that had a few more features. This software is definitely a "no frills" approach to dog boarding organization- but there are other options out there that have a much more in depth interface. I prefer softwares with more features that really allow me to manage every single little aspect of my business in one place.

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you find KennelBooker to be one of the simplest interfaces to use for booking, tracking, and managing appointments. It’s great to know that the streamlined layout makes it easy to handle multiple services, even for small teams with just one or two employees managing everything. The system is quite powerful and extensive and does allow you to manage all aspects of your business, if you jump into the settings area you can add additional features to your account, when settings up KB we try to not overwhelm new customers with all of the bells and whistles! Thank you for highlighting KennelBooker’s intuitiveness and ease of use, especially for those who aren’t tech-savvy. We’re here to continue supporting you, and we appreciate your insights as we work to improve!
Great product for a small business that needs lots of information tracking.

Best of a bad bunch
Opmerkingen: This is a good system, to be used as an interim before we create our own. It would be good to buy a license, continue paying to monthy fee and then have our own software team make changes to make it work for our business.
Pluspunten:
Integration with xero and ability to use on lots of different services
Minpunten:
Training calandar should be like the grooming calendar, there is no way to prevent double bookings Things don't do what they appear to do, like setting capacities or closed days

Easy to use all around
Opmerkingen: Kennel Booker makes doing business easy.
Pluspunten:
We were growing faster than I could keep track of all my pet vaccines and client information. Kennel Booker was a perfect solution for us. Now it is easy to keep track of all our pet and client information and Kennel Booker alerts me when vaccines are out of date. One less thing to look up when booking return clients. I can schedule for my specific site, runs, and services, sending tailored confirmation emails for all. The support we got when setting up for our site was wonderful. They were super attentive and helpful, walking us through each question we had, even adding new features that addressed specific things we wanted!
Minpunten:
The only thing I wish I could do on Kennel Booker is to sort my financial/payment information by payment date, rather than just by booking/stay date. Lots of our clients split payments between drop-off and pick-up. When they are in the same month, its not a big deal, but when it crosses two months, my financial data is off.

It's great to know that features like vaccine alerts and tailored confirmation emails have made your operations smoother, and we're glad our team was able to assist you during the setup process, even adding features specific to your needs. You can use the Payments report to view all payments made, you can't do this on the booking report as a booking can have several payments which can be made in different months/years.

Kennel Booker Review
Opmerkingen: I've been a Kennel Booker user for about a year now and I've seen how much more user friendly it has become. Any time I had a question or needed a feature added, the team was always so helpful and responded very quickly.
Pluspunten:
I love how I can customize nearly everything to fit my business and any feature that I may need, the team helps create it for me!
Minpunten:
Right now, the struggle I'm having is creating daycare package bookings. Because I have my daycare clients pay during the booking process, I have it set so they are not able to book packages themselves. I have to create them in order to apply credit. I have to keep the packages set as unavailable so they don't see it as an option and turn it on when I'm ready to book. Unfortunately, this last time someone requested it, the package option wasn't available to me so I had to charge the package amount for a regular daycare booking and will have to remember to zero out the remaining days as they get booked.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the customization options KennelBooker offers and that our team has been helpful in creating features tailored to your business needs. The system has now made the purchasing of packages easier, on the online system when a package is added to a booking the cost of the booking will be covered by the credits and credits will only be added to the customers account once payment is received for the package. Thank you for being a KennelBooker user for the past year, and we’re thrilled to hear that you’ve seen improvements in its user-friendliness. We're always here to assist you and ensure your experience continues to improve!
The best pet biz program!

Pluspunten:
The customer service is above and beyond! They always respond to my emails right away. We are cats only and I do wish we could customize a little more but they have been amazingly helpful in customizing as much as they could. We used other programs and Kb’s ease of use is sueruoir to what I’ve used and seen. Love this program!

The customer service is superb and they immediately met all my needs tailoring the program to what I needed. And it's half the price of the other less efiecient programs.

We lucked out and purchased this product. The best thing we could ever do for our new and growing business. Customer Service could not be better, and if I think of something, a simple email and normal response is within 15 minutes, if not sooner. Software is easy to use and price is great!
