Kennel booking software that earns its keep.
Sable is built inside a working boarding kennels. It takes the payments — in full, at booking — chases the check-ins, keeps the vaccination records and reconciles the money. £0 in fees to your business, ever: no monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-booking fee, no lock-in. Not a booking page with extras bolted on: the whole of the admin in one system, set up around the way your kennels actually runs — because no two are alike. And Sable does the marketplace's job as well — bringing you new customers through the app and through AI assistants — without the 15–20% commission marketplaces charge for introductions. We built it to be the best kennel software in Britain — come hold us to that.
Tested every day on real dogs, real owners, and real 7am mornings.Your morning list, sorted the night before.
Up-front payment stops no-shows
Every booking is paid in full when it's requested, against your own cancellation policy. The surest cure for no-shows there is.
Hotel-style check-in & check-out
Owners watch a countdown until check-in opens, then confirm their exact drop-off time — to the quarter-hour — and book their collection time the same way. Your day runs on real times, not hopeful ones.
An arrivals board that chases
See who's confirmed and who's gone quiet. Ring or WhatsApp the quiet ones in one tap.
Vaccination records that follow the dog
One profile per dog — jabs, diet, vet, quirks — attached to every booking. Licence-condition record keeping, handled in passing.
Money that reconciles
Every payment lands on a ledger that matches your bank account to the penny. No more Sunday-night spreadsheet archaeology.

Asked by kennel owners, answered straight.
What is the best booking software for a boarding kennels in the UK?
The best kennel software is the one that fits how a working kennels actually runs: bookings paid in full up front to stop no-shows, a morning arrivals list you can trust, vaccination records attached to every pet, 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.
How is Sable different from monthly-fee kennel software?
Two ways. Money: your business is never billed anything — no monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-booking fee, instead of a subscription every month regardless. You receive your price for the dates in full — your rate card, lifted for demand and never below it — and the customer's all-in price carries Sable's booking-service charge to the customer — so Sable only earns when your diary fills, and a quiet month costs you £0. And it's built inside a working kennels and cattery, so the features are the jobs that actually eat a kennel owner's day — chasing arrivals, taking payments, reconciling them — not features designed in an office.
Does Sable handle vaccination records?
Yes. Every pet has one profile holding vaccinations, diet, vet details and quirks, captured once and attached to every booking — which also makes licence-condition record keeping straightforward.
Can it run a mixed kennels and cattery?
Yes — it's built inside one. Dogs and cats, separate capacities and rates, one diary.
Do I have to set it up myself?
No. We come to your kennels, configure your services, rates, capacity and cancellation policies, and migrate your existing client and pet records. Free, and usually done in about half an hour.
