Kennelnest
Kennel software without the bloat
Kennelnest is kennel management software built for small boarding facilities — the ones running 10 to 60 dogs, not enterprise chains. It covers the three jobs a kennel actually does every day: bookings, pet records, and getting paid.
Free 30-day trial at launch. No credit card. No spam.
What it covers
Boarding by the night, daycare by the day. Capacity limits per run so you can't overbook. Repeat clients with valid vaccines are confirmed automatically; new clients always come to you for approval first. Recurring schedules work the way real dogs attend — every Tuesday and Thursday, not just consecutive dates.
One family, many pets. Vaccine records upload from the owner's side and appear in your dashboard instantly, with expiry reminders sent both ways. Feeding, meds, and behavior flags show up at check-in — not buried in a profile.
Invoices build themselves from the stay. Receipts send automatically. End-of-day summary that actually reconciles — the number in the report matches the money in the drawer.
Owners book, reschedule (up to your cutoff — no more “can you move Tuesday” phone calls), pay, and see report-card photos through a link — no app download, no password. Works on any phone.
What it deliberately leaves out
Most kennel management software gets worse by adding: 80 permission settings, POS hardware, modules you pay for but never open. Kennelnest ships without a native app, without POS hardware, and without per-module pricing — because a small kennel doesn't need a configuration project, it needs today's dogs fed, photographed, and paid for.
Pricing that stays put
$39/month flat — unlimited pets, unlimited staff, messaging included. There is no “free kennel software” that stays free once your data is in it; what we offer instead is a real 30-day free trial (no credit card) that starts only after your data is migrated, and a price that is locked for as long as you stay. Details on the pricing page.
