KADEPAY FOR DOG DAYCARE & BOARDING
Morning drop-off is a parade of leashes, and the front desk has thirty seconds per dog. KadePay sells daycare day packages, takes holiday boarding deposits, collects waivers and vaccine records before the first visit, and keeps a card on file for late pickups and extra nights, so drop-off stays about the dogs.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Daycares and boarders juggle dozens of dogs, strict vaccine rules and a holiday rush that starts months early. These are the front desk headaches owners describe most, and how KadePay takes the money and paperwork side off the counter.
Thanksgiving boarding fills by early fall, and three families cancel the week before after you turned away regulars to hold their dates.
With KadePay
Confirm each request, then send a holiday boarding deposit as a vanishing bill on Team or Pro that expires if it goes unpaid. Your signed boarding policy explains when the deposit becomes nonrefundable.
Vanishing billsEvery morning, five owners hand over a card for one $32 day while a husky tries to climb onto the front desk.
With KadePay
Sell 10- and 20-day daycare packages up front and record each day as the dog attends. Owners who prefer it can authorize a card on file instead, so drop-off needs no payment at all.
Packages and sessionsA new dog arrives for a trial day and the Bordetella record is 'in the car somewhere', so you have to send them home.
With KadePay
Send your new-client form with rabies, distemper and Bordetella uploads and your daycare waiver before the trial day. The owner signs on their phone and the records stay with the pet parent's profile.
Forms and signaturesA flight is delayed, the dog stays a ninth night, and pickup is at 7:20 PM when your staff wanted to leave at 7.
With KadePay
With a card the pet parent authorized and your signed policy, charge the late pickup fee the policy describes or the extra night, and they are notified with a receipt.
Card on fileA family on vacation texts four times a day asking how their dog is doing, and the front desk is busy with baths and drop-offs.
With KadePay
Drop a few stay photos into the pet parent's Gallery folder, shared read-only, once or twice a day. They see their dog playing, and your team answers fewer anxious texts.
Customer profiles and notesHow it fits your week
A pet parent requests boarding dates or a daycare trial from the link on your website. Your team checks the dates against your own plan and confirms or suggests others.
They sign your waiver and upload vaccine records on their phone, and pay the deposit link you send after confirming the stay.
Package days are recorded at drop-off and boarding nights are billed to the saved card, so the morning rush is about leashes, not card readers.
Stay photos go into a shared Gallery folder, and private notes track feeding instructions, medication times and which dogs play well together.
Extra nights, baths or a late pickup go on the final bill, and automatic appointment reminders help with the next reservation.
Every way your pet parents pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same pet parent record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for pet boarding
Dog boarding software usually starts with a question of space: how many dogs, which runs, which play groups. KadePay leaves that planning to you and focuses on what happens around it, from boarding reservation requests your team confirms to the payment, waiver and vaccine record that should be in place before the dog arrives.
Pet boarding payments get messy around the holidays. A holiday boarding deposit taken right after you confirm the dates, with a link that expires on Team or Pro, keeps holds honest. A signed policy and a card on file cover the late pickup fee and the extra night when a flight is delayed.
Daycare runs on repeat visits, so daycare packages paid up front keep the morning line short and the income steady. Vaccine records for daycare and a signed dog daycare waiver can be collected in one form before the trial day, so nobody is turned away at the door.
If you board dogs in your home, a doggy daycare app with stay photos in a shared Gallery folder and payment by link may be all you need. Tap to Pay on a compatible phone handles the pickup at your front door without a card reader.
CLEAR ANSWERS
For the business side, look for daycare packages, holiday deposits, waivers with vaccine uploads and a card on file for extras. KadePay covers those and adds stay photos in Gallery folders. It does not manage kennel assignments or play group sizes, so keep that planning in your own system.
After you confirm the dates, send a deposit bill or link for the amount your boarding policy sets, such as two nights or half the stay. On Team or Pro, make it a vanishing bill so the link expires if the family does not pay in time.
Yes. Sell a 10-day or 20-day package up front and record each daycare day as the dog attends, and the remaining count stays on the pet parent's profile. Reserving or showing up for each day is separate from buying the package.
Build a new-client form with your daycare waiver and uploads for rabies, distemper and Bordetella. The pet parent completes and signs it on their own phone after signing in, and everything stays with their profile for your team to check at drop-off.
Include the fee in the policy pet parents sign, and ask them to authorize a card on file. When a pickup runs late, you can charge the fee your daycare policy describes, and they are notified with a receipt for the charge.
A daycare can open a Pay-As-You-Go account at $0 per month; payment and usage fees apply. Vanishing holiday deposits, recurring billing and staff logins come with Team at $10 per month or Pro at $35 per month. The pricing page shows every plan side by side.
