Dog boarding and kennel software that thinks in runs and nights
Pupline is dog boarding software built around how a kennel actually works: a stay runs from check-in to check-out across several nights, it occupies a named run or suite, and it bills per night. Take requests on a branded booking page, assign each one to a free run, and watch the occupancy board fill up by date instead of guessing from a paper diary.
Everything is included at one flat price: online booking, named runs and suites with an occupancy board, check-in and check-out, vaccination records with expiry reminders, signed boarding agreements, per-night invoicing, and photo updates owners open without an app. No per-run fees and no per-pet pricing as your kennel grows.
How to choose dog boarding or kennel software: what actually matters
The non-negotiable for boarding is real capacity by run and by night. A stay spans multiple nights and holds a run for all of them, so the tool has to prevent two dogs landing in the same run on the same night, something a single-calendar appointment app gets wrong. Look for named runs, an occupancy board by date, and a check-in to check-out flow.
Then compare pricing. Established kennel management software often charges hundreds a month and scales by runs, pets or locations. If you are weighing a switch, a flat-price tool that includes the occupancy board, vaccination tracking, agreements and per-night invoicing can do the core job for a fraction of the cost.
What boarding and kennel software costs
Facility platforms are priced for scale. As of July 2026, Gingr's boarding plan is about $154/mo per location (more without integrated payments), with SMS and staff scheduling as paid add-ons and onboarding quoted per business; PetLinx is module-based from $74–$114/mo plus a fee per extra location. For a multi-site kennel, that machinery earns its keep.
Pupline Facilities is one flat $49.98/mo including your first three team members (then $6 per extra seat), with no per-run, per-pet or per-location fee and no add-ons, plus a 30-day free trial. It's consult-gated, so you book a short setup call and we get you running; it does the daily core an owner-run kennel lives on, not an enterprise back office.
Boarding is a large, growing market
Boarding and kennels make up one of the biggest slices of pet services. Grand View Research valued the global pet-boarding-services market at about $8.62 billion in 2024 and projects growth near 8.6% a year through 2030, riding the same demand that pushed total US pet spending to roughly $158 billion in 2025, per the American Pet Products Association.
As bookings grow, the operational core, capacity by run and night, vaccination compliance and per-night billing, is what keeps a kennel from double-booking or losing money on the math. Pupline is built around that core, so a small or mid-size kennel gets the essentials without the enterprise price tag.
Pupline vs Gingr for a small boarding kennel
Most dog boarding and kennel software is built for multi-location operations — per-location pricing, a setup fee and enterprise machinery. Pupline is dog boarding software for a single-location kennel: named runs, an occupancy board, check-in to check-out and per-night billing in one account, from $49.98/mo with no per-location fee. Here's how it lines up against Gingr.
| Pupline | Gingr | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Small & single-location kennels | Multi-location facilities |
| Starting price | From $49.98/mo | ~$114/mo per location |
| Setup fee | None | ~$200 per location |
| Pricing model | One account, no per-location fee | Per-location tiers |
| Runs, check-in/out & per-night billing | Included | Included |
| Keeps 0% of client payments | Yes | Yes |

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dog boarding or kennel software?
The best dog boarding software tracks capacity by run and by night, takes booking requests online, checks pets in and out, keeps vaccinations and signed agreements on file, and bills per night. Pupline does all of that with named runs, an occupancy board and every feature included for one flat monthly price, with no per-run or per-pet fees.
Does Pupline handle runs and per-night billing?
Yes. You set up your runs or suites, assign each stay to one, and Pupline prevents double-booking a run for overlapping nights. Multi-night stays are billed per night, and you check pets in and out on the occupancy board.
How much does dog boarding or kennel software cost?
Established kennel platforms run well over $100/mo per location, plus add-ons and quote-based onboarding, Gingr's boarding plan is about $154/mo per location and PetLinx is module-based from $74–$114/mo. Pupline Facilities is a flat $49.98/mo including three team members, with no per-run or per-location fee, plus a 30-day free trial with no card.
Is Pupline a good alternative to Gingr or PetExec?
Pupline covers the core a small or mid-size kennel needs: online booking, named runs with an occupancy board, check-in and check-out, vaccination tracking, boarding agreements and per-night invoicing, at one flat price rather than a per-run or per-pet bill. It does not try to replace a large facility's point-of-sale or payroll, so the best fit is an owner-run kennel that wants the essentials without the enterprise price tag.
Do boarding clients need to download an app?
No. Owners request a stay, sign the boarding agreement and read updates through a private link, with no account and no app to install, while you run the runs, check-in/out and per-night billing on your side.
