Pupline speaks your language: here, appointments are Bookings.
The parts of the job that shouldn't be this hard.
- A whiteboard or spreadsheet that never matches who actually walked in
- Double-booked days because nothing tracks how full you are
- Chasing owners for vaccination records and signed waivers

Dog daycare software that runs the floor, not just the calendar
Pupline is dog daycare software for the people who run the day, not a call centre behind it. Take bookings on a branded page, see every pet that is in today on a single occupancy board, and check them in and out as they arrive and leave, so the board always matches the floor.
Every feature is included at one flat price: online booking, an occupancy board with named runs and rooms, vaccination records with expiry reminders, signed agreements and waivers, client and pet profiles, photo report cards owners open without an app, and invoicing. No per-pet fees and no per-staff seats as you grow.
How to choose dog daycare software: what actually matters
Start with capacity. A real daycare tool has to know how full you are on any given day and stop you overbooking, which a generic appointment app cannot do. Then look for vaccination tracking with expiry alerts, signed waivers on file, and a fast check-in and check-out flow your team can run at the door.
After that, weigh the pricing model. Most daycare software charges by pets, staff seats or locations, so the bill climbs as you grow. A flat price with every feature included is usually the better deal for a single-location daycare, and worth a close look if you are leaving a per-pet platform.
What dog daycare software costs
Established facility platforms price per location and split extras into add-ons: Gingr's daycare plan runs about $142/mo per location as of July 2026, with two-way SMS, integrated payments and staff scheduling billed on top, and onboarding quoted per business. That scale makes sense once you run several premises.
Pupline Facilities is one flat $49.98/mo that includes your first three team members (then $6 per extra seat), with no per-pet, per-run or per-location fee and no add-ons, plus a 30-day free trial. Because Facilities is consult-gated, you book a quick setup call and we get you running; it's the teams plan, so a growing daycare adds staff without changing tools.
A fast-growing market, and what that means for your tools
Dog daycare is one of the fastest-growing corners of pet care. Grand View Research valued the US pet-daycare market at about $1.73 billion in 2024 and projects growth near 9% a year through 2030, part of a US pet industry the American Pet Products Association put at roughly $158 billion in 2025.
As demand climbs, the two things that break first are capacity and compliance, overbooked days and lapsed vaccinations. Pupline's occupancy board and vaccination gating are built to keep both under control on a busy floor, so you can grow without losing the thread of who's in and whose shots are current.
Pupline vs Gingr for a small dog daycare
Most dog daycare software is enterprise facility software — priced per location, with a setup fee and a front-desk point-of-sale you may never use. Pupline is dog daycare software for a single-location daycare: an occupancy board, named runs, check-in/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 | Single-location daycares | 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 |
| Occupancy board & capacity | Included | Included |
| Keeps 0% of client payments | Yes | Yes |

Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a dog daycare?
The best dog daycare software tracks how full you are, takes bookings online, checks pets in and out, and keeps vaccinations and signed waivers on file, ideally at a flat price rather than a fee per pet or per staff member. Pupline is built for exactly that, with an occupancy board, named runs and rooms, and every feature included for one monthly price.
Does dog daycare software handle capacity and check-in?
Yes. Pupline gives a daycare an occupancy board: you set up your runs or rooms, assign each booking to one, and check pets in and out through the day so the board always reflects who is actually on the floor.
How much does dog daycare software cost?
Pricing varies widely. Many platforms charge by the number of pets, staff seats or locations, so the monthly cost grows with your business, and facility tools like Gingr run well over $100/mo per location before add-ons. Pupline Facilities is a flat $49.98/mo including three team members, with no per-pet or per-seat fee, and the whole product is free to try for 30 days with no card.
Is Pupline a good alternative to Gingr or PetExec for a small daycare?
For a single-location daycare, yes. Pupline covers the daily core, an occupancy board, named runs, check-in and check-out, vaccination tracking, agreements and invoicing, at one flat price rather than a per-location bill with paid add-ons. What it doesn't include is the enterprise layer, a front-desk point-of-sale, retail and multi-location management, so a large multi-site operation is still better served by Gingr.
Do daycare clients need to download an app?
No. Owners book and fill in their pet's details through a private link, with no account and no app to install. That removes friction and gets you the vaccination records and signed waivers you need without chasing.
