Day care software that counts every space.
Sable runs the day for dog day cares: full days and half days booked online from your real availability, spaces counted properly so you're never a dog over, trusted regulars who settle later, and loyalty offers that run themselves. £0 in fees to your business — ever: no monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-booking fee, no lock-in. It brings you customers too, through the app and through AI assistants that can check your live availability — the marketplace's job, without the marketplace's 15–20%. Built and tested every day inside a working pet-care business in Scotland.
Tested every day on real dogs, real owners, and real 7am drop-offs.Full days, half days, and never one dog over.
Sessions that fit your day
Half days, full days, anything up to twelve hours — each with its own length and price, booked online from your live availability.
Spaces, counted properly
Tell Sable how many dogs you take at once and it sells exactly that many. A full-day dog holds his space all day — no accidental extra dog at 2pm.
Regulars on account
Trusted regulars book without paying up front and settle later — one tap to charge the card on file, or mark it paid at the desk. The way regulars actually work.
Loyalty that runs itself
Set an offer — "ten visits, one free" — and Sable applies it: day credits land on the account automatically and come off the next bill.
An arrivals board that chases
See who's confirmed for the morning and who's gone quiet. Ring or WhatsApp the quiet ones in one tap.
Money that reconciles
Every payment — card, on account, cash at the desk — lands on a ledger that matches your bank to the penny.
Built inside a pet business, not an office.
Sable runs a real working kennels & cattery in Scotland every single day, and the same engine now runs day cares, groomers, pet taxis and trainers. When something annoys the person actually doing the work, it gets fixed. That's the whole product philosophy — the features above are the jobs that eat your day, not the ones that demo well.

Asked by day care owners, answered straight.
What is the best software for a dog day care in the UK?
The best day care software fits how a day care actually runs: full and half days booked online from real availability, spaces counted properly so you're never a dog over, regulars who settle later, and payments that reconcile with your bank. Sable does exactly these jobs and bills your business nothing — no monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-booking fee. You receive your price for every day booked in full — your rate card, lifted for demand on those dates and never below it; customers see one all-in price for their dates, which also carries Sable's booking-service charge to the customer, inside that price, never from you. A quiet month costs £0.
Can my regulars book without paying every time?
Yes. Mark a customer as a trusted regular and they book without paying up front, then settle later — one tap to charge the card on file, or mark it paid at the desk. New customers pay in full by card when they book.
How does capacity work?
Tell Sable how many dogs you take at once and the diary sells exactly that many spaces. A full-day dog holds a space all day, so there's never an accidental extra dog at 2pm.
Can I run loyalty offers?
Yes. Set an offer like "ten visits, one free" and Sable runs it for you: day credits land on the customer's account automatically and come off their next bill.
Do I have to set it up myself?
No. We come to your day care, configure your sessions, prices, capacity and policies, and migrate your existing client and dog records. Free, and usually done in about half an hour.
