Disconnected tools
Reservations, notes, messages, and spreadsheets live in different places—making the day harder to run.
Built by a kennel operator, not a software tourist.
Run your facility. Don't chase it.
Most kennel software just records the day, then leaves the chasing to you — the feeding note, the staff question, the follow-up that hasn't happened yet. BarkWhiz turns each one into the next action your team takes, so they finish the day instead of digging through it. For boarding, daycare, and training.

Not ready for a founding spot? Just keep me posted
We're onboarding our first 10 facilities by hand — early access is genuinely limited.
No credit card, no demo gauntlet — just get on the list and we'll reach out.
Works with the tools you already run — QuickBooks, Stripe, and Google are live today, with more on the way.
Curious what the status quo is costing you? Run the numbers
We could fill this space with logos. We'd rather earn yours.
So instead of borrowed proof, here's the truth: we're hand-picking our first ten founding facilities and onboarding each one personally. The operational core and a branded customer portal with online booking and payments are in real use with our first facilities today; outbound email/SMS reminders are still on the roadmap — and we'll always tell you exactly what's ready.
Built for how you run
Boarding, daycare, training — the day looks different, but the gap is the same: software that records the work instead of helping you run it. See how BarkWhiz fits your operation.
For boarding kennels
Fast reservations and a kennel map, two-click check-in, one-tap care logging, and AI-drafted updates — built for a busy boarding Saturday.
Boarding software For dog daycareStanding reservations and capacity at a glance, a fast check-in and check-out rush, one-tap care logging, and updates parents love.
Daycare software For dog trainingSessions and packages, client and dog records, the staff pipeline workspace, and AI-drafted recaps — built by a multi-location trainer.
Training softwareToo many tools. Too many workarounds. Not enough time.
Context switching
Teams lose time switching tabs, chasing details, and piecing together what needs attention next.
Missed follow-through
Follow-ups slip through the cracks when customer notes, tasks, and communication are not connected.
Legacy software
Most software records transactions, but does not help operators actually run the business.
Operations → follow-up
Your operations are your follow-up list.
Most software makes you run a separate CRM tab and remember to work it. BarkWhiz turns what already happens on your floor into the follow-up your team works from — drafted by AI, reviewed and sent by a human.
A stay checks out
a rebooking nudge and a review request, drafted and ready for a human to send.
A regular hasn't been back
a reactivation task surfaces — before you'd have noticed they slipped away.
A vaccine's about to expire
a reminder lands before the next stay, not after it's already a problem.
A balance goes unpaid
it's flagged for follow-up instead of quietly slipping through the cracks.
An incident or care note is logged
the right people see it, and the follow-up is tracked through to done.
These land as tasks and reminders for your staff, with any message drafted for a human to review and send — not auto-sent campaigns. How the AI stays in its lane →
The cost of doing nothing
What is the status quo quietly costing you?
Empty kennels, lapsed clients, and under-pricing leak revenue every month—quietly. Plug in your rough numbers to estimate what's slipping through.
Leaking / month$4,400
Leaking / year$52,800
Estimate based on your inputs and the assumptions above — not a guarantee of revenue uplift. BarkWhiz helps you stop leaking hidden revenue.
Don't have these numbers handy?
That's the whole problem — and it's not on you. Legacy kennel software records every booking and payment, then never adds it up: how many kennels sat empty, which regulars quietly stopped coming. So these are an educated guess. BarkWhiz reads the data you already have and shows you the real number — with its work.
The 6 numbers every kennel should track
The founder's own facility was leaking ~$5–8K a month — about $75K a year — before BarkWhiz.

Become a Founding FacilityWorkflow speed
Routine work should not take eight clicks.
Most legacy kennel platforms cluster around roughly eight interactions and two screens for routine work. BarkWhiz cuts that default path down dramatically—especially for high-frequency frontline workflows.
It's not just us — in a market review of pet-care software, "too many steps" was the most common client complaint, with one reviewer saying it "shouldn't take 17 steps" to book.
Before
Legacy software flow
More screens. More handoffs. More clicks to finish basic work.
Create reservation12–18 clicks
Multiple steps, confirmations, and tab jumps before a booking is done.
Check-in dog4–8 clicks
Find the record, verify details, handle exceptions, then complete arrival.
Care logging10–12 clicks
Feeding and meds are often buried in reporting-style interfaces.
Send update8–10 clicks
Write, review, and send live in separate surfaces.
After
BarkWhiz workflow
Shorter paths, clearer context, and action-ready workflows for real pet care teams.
Create reservationUnder 4 clicks
Reservation creation stays fast, with the right context visible from the start.
Check-in dog2 clicks or less
Check-ins stay fast without losing important arrival details.
Care logging1 tap
Care logging feels like task completion, not paperwork.
Send updateAI-drafted
The AI drafts each update so your team reviews and sends fast—not from a blank page.

Estimate from your weekly volumes and our target legacy-vs-BarkWhiz click reductions (illustrative, not yet independently measured), at the seconds-per-click you set — not a guarantee. AI-drafted updates are approximated as ~7 fewer clicks.
Your current software can't tell you any of this.
That's the gap. Legacy kennel platforms make your team click through every task, then never count the clicks — or the hours lost to busywork. The waste is real, but it stays invisible, so nothing ever improves. BarkWhiz cuts the routine work down and shows you the time you're winning back — not just the tasks you finished.
Stop guessing your numbers. Start measuring them.
The calculators on this page ask you to guess — your occupancy, your revenue per pet, the clients quietly slipping away. The Management KPIs dashboard inside BarkWhiz hands you the real ones: a one-screen, zero-setup management view computed from your own data, with every card labeled Measured, Estimate, or Signal so you always know how solid the number is.

Illustrative figures — every card in the app carries “How we got this” and “See the records behind this.”
Clunky software costs you hundreds of hours a year — and charges you thousands for the privilege.
It doesn't have to be this way. BarkWhiz strips the busywork out of the jobs your team repeats all day, so your crew runs the facility instead of the software. We onboard every founding facility by hand — see if it fits how yours runs.
Why BarkWhiz exists
A pet-care operating system, built by people who hated theirs.
Legacy software records transactions. BarkWhiz is the operating system that runs the day — tying the front desk, the floor, and the follow-up into one. Pet care doesn't need another tool; it needs the layer that holds them together.
Built from frustration
BarkWhiz is not a generic software concept dropped into pet care. It comes from lived frustration with clunky kennel tools, fragmented workflows, and too many clicks for routine work.
Built for real operations
Every screen is shaped around what frontline teams, managers, and owners actually need during the day—not what old software forces them to tolerate.
Operations. CRM. Actionable Insights.
Built for the way pet care businesses actually operate.
BarkWhiz connects daily execution, client context, and business visibility—so your team can work faster without losing the details that matter.
Operations
Manage reservations, kennel flow, appointments, care tasks, and daily execution in one place.
CRM
Customer and dog records, messaging, and timelines — with follow-up that comes straight from operations, not a separate sales tab.
Actionable Insights
AI-drafted updates and an operating view of occupancy, pace, and task status today — with revenue intelligence and pricing signals on the roadmap.
Legacy comparison
Can your old management software do that? Don’t worry — your new one can.
Kennel-first task execution
Bulk actions, shift visibility, and floor-friendly workflows instead of nested admin screens.
Connected customer context
Reservations, notes, updates, and follow-up stay tied together instead of scattered across modules.
Fewer clicks for routine work
High-frequency tasks are designed for dramatically shorter paths than legacy kennel software.
Built-in flexibility
Desktop, tablet, and mobile views support the way real teams move through the day.
Intelligence layer
Dashboards are cool. Recommendations are better.
Plenty of platforms can show you data after the fact. BarkWhiz goes further—turning what's happening on your floor into the next action that makes sense: the follow-up to make, the gap to close.
See the signal
Track demand, pace, follow-through, occupancy, and task status in one operating view.
Get the recommendation
The next action surfaces from the day's events — the rebooking, the lapsed regular, the expiring vaccine — not a raw dashboard. Revenue intelligence and pricing signals are on the roadmap.
Act faster
Turn insights into decisions without leaving the place where work is already happening.
Stay human-in-the-loop
BarkWhiz supports operator judgment — it doesn't replace it with black-box automation.
A smarter system for modern pet care businesses
Desktop, tablet, and mobile workflows matter. Scroll through this section to see BarkWhiz across desktop, floor, and shift mode surfaces.
This is the operational core of BarkWhiz. It gives teams one place to manage bookings, view the day at a glance, assign dogs to runs or rooms, and keep capacity visible without bouncing between screens.
Every customer and every dog has a connected record with key details, notes, history, and context—so your staff can quickly understand the relationship, not just the transaction.
BarkWhiz helps staff track care instructions and critical operational details in a more structured way, making it easier to follow routines, catch issues, and keep care consistent.
Instead of starting from a blank page, staff can use AI to draft updates faster, summarize activity, and support daily workflows without adding more admin burden.
Leads, pipeline, tasks, and conversations live in one staff workspace—so the follow-up, the rebooking, and the at-risk client don't slip between inboxes. Your team works the pipeline in one place; nothing falls through the cracks.
Five roles with real tenant isolation, so the front desk, managers, and owners each see exactly what they should—across one location or several. Built for a team, not a single shared login.
Your own branded customer portal and public booking pages: pet parents book online, manage their account, upload vaccine and immunization records, and pay their balance online — on pages that carry your brand, not ours. Loyalty and membership pricing is honored automatically at booking, and Google reviews are captured after a stay. It's in real use with our first facilities today, in early access.
BarkWhiz goes beyond static reporting, helping operators understand demand, pace, pricing signals, and business opportunities with more actionable visibility.
From the founder
Why I'm building BarkWhiz
"I've spent more than ten years running pet-care operations — today, two Sit Means Sit locations in Dallas and College Station. I've checked in dogs at 6 a.m., chased down a feeding note that lived in someone's head, and paid more than $1,000 a month for software that recorded my reservations but never helped me run the day.
The last straw was how many follow-ups quietly slipped — because the notes, the tasks, and the messages all lived in different places.
So I'm building the system I wish I'd had. I'd rather get it right with a handful of operators than ship something that looks good in a demo and falls apart on a busy Saturday."

Independent. Operator-owned.
Pet-care software has a pattern: a tool operators love gets bought by a private-equity roll-up, and the familiar slide begins — prices climb, support thins, payment processing gets forced on you, and the roadmap stops listening to the people on the floor. BarkWhiz isn't that. It's bootstrapped and owned by the operator who built it — no outside investors, and no board with a clock running on an exit.
No private-equity roll-up
No outside owners optimizing you toward a return. The incentives stay pointed at the operators who use BarkWhiz — not at the next exit.
The founder answers your email
The person deciding the roadmap is the same one who answers your message — and who still runs a kennel and feels the same pain you do.
Founding pricing, locked for life
Founding facilities lock in their pricing for life. With no outside owners chasing a return, there's no roll-up math quietly pushing it up later.
