For dog day care

Day care software that counts every space.

Full and half days booked from your real availability, every space counted. 3% of payments through Sable, no monthly fee.

The jobs it does

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 who pay you directly

Mark a regular as paying you directly and they book without paying online. When they pay, tap Mark paid. If they've paid you online before, you can charge that card instead.

Offers that apply themselves

Set an offer, like 10% off from a client's fourth booking, and Sable takes it off automatically. You can also add day credits to a client's account. They come off their next booking.

Today's visits, in time order

Today lists every day visit by its start time. Tap Arrived when a dog comes in and Gone home when it leaves.

Money on the booking

Every payment — card, on account, cash at the desk — is recorded on the booking it belongs to.

Built and tested at Kuruba.

Sable is built and tested at Kuruba, where Sable’s founder works. Boarding is live today; day care, grooming, pet taxi and training businesses use the same system as they join. When something gets in the way of the person doing the work, it gets fixed.

Common questions

Questions day care owners ask.

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 every payment recorded on the booking it belongs to. Sable does exactly these jobs for 3% of payments through Sable. No monthly fee, no setup fee. You keep the rest, less Stripe’s card fee; customers see one all-in price for their dates. A quiet month costs almost nothing.

Can my regulars book without paying every time?

Yes. Mark a client as paying you directly and they book without paying online. When they pay, tap Mark paid. If they've paid you online before, you can charge that card instead. Other clients pay online when they book, unless you take payment yourself for that service.

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 10% off from a client's fourth booking, and Sable takes it off automatically. You can also add day credits to a client's account by hand. They come off their next booking.

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 we stay until it's done.

Run a day care?

We come out and set it up.

Free, in person. Starting in Scotland; elsewhere, ask us — your rates and policies set up the way you already run, your records brought across and your diary in use before we leave. Also for groomers and trainers.
