Reservations & booking

Book the whole facility from one calendar.

Boarding stays, daycare days, training sessions, and multi-session packages don't need four separate tools. BarkWhiz runs all of it on one reservations engine — with live capacity across your runs and kennels, sibling booking, service tiers, and deposits captured right at the booking.

The BarkWhiz new-reservation flow: booking a stay with service, tier, and dates

One engine, every service — live today.

Reservations are the operational core BarkWhiz runs on, and they're live today in every plan. Boarding, daycare, training, and multi-session packages all book from the same engine — not a bolt-on per service. See where it sits in pricing →

One engine, every service

The booking that runs your day shouldn't be four disconnected tools. Boarding, daycare, training, and packages all live on one reservations engine — so capacity, deposits, and check-in are the same flow no matter what you're booking.

Creating a new reservation in BarkWhiz: choosing service, tier, and dates for a stay

One engine for every service

One engine for every service

Boarding, daycare, training, and multi-session packages all book on the same reservations engine — not a different tab and a different logic for each one. Pick the service, pick the tier, set the dates, and BarkWhiz handles the rest, including sibling and multi-dog bookings and the deposit at the point of booking.

  • Boarding, daycare, training, and packages on one engine
  • Sibling and multi-dog bookings, with service tiers built in
  • Deposits applied at booking — not chased down later

Live capacity

See capacity before you commit

Booking blind is how you end up double-booked or turning away a good client you had room for. BarkWhiz shows live occupancy across your runs and kennels — including shared run-banks — as you book, so you know what's actually open. When you're full, a waitlist catches the overflow instead of losing it.

  • Live occupancy across runs, kennels, and shared run-banks
  • See what's open before you confirm — no double-booking
  • A waitlist catches overflow when you're at capacity

Booking → the run

From booking to the run in a couple of clicks

The booking isn't the finish line — getting the dog into the right run is. At check-in, the care notes on the reservation ride along automatically, and the Kennel Whizard looks at size, tier, and available capacity to suggest a run. Two clicks and the dog is checked in and assigned, with the context attached.

  • Two-click check-in straight from the reservation
  • Care notes ride along to the run, no re-keying
  • Kennel Whizard suggests a run — you make the call

…and the rest of booking

Recurring & standing reservations

The regular who's in every Tuesday, or the standing week of boarding — set it once and it books itself, instead of re-entering the same reservation over and over.

Multiple locations, one calendar

Running more than one location? Book across them from one calendar, with capacity kept straight per site — no separate logins, no guessing which building has the room.

Built for a few clicks

Booking a stay shouldn't be a march through five screens. The reservation flow is built to be fast for the front desk — the day you run at speed, not the demo that looks tidy.

Built by an operator

Three services, one lobby, and a calendar that couldn't keep up

"I've spent more than ten years in pet-care operations, running two Sit Means Sit locations — one in Dallas, one in College Station. For a long time boarding, daycare, and training all fought over the same calendar while the front desk kept the real story on paper. The morning I double-booked a run — two dogs, one kennel, because the booking and the board disagreed — I knew a calendar wasn't enough.

So reservations in BarkWhiz aren't a booking log. Boarding, daycare, training, and packages run on one engine that carries capacity, deposits, and the notes all the way to the run — because a booking is only useful if it helps you run the floor."

Ryan Leach, MBA Founder & Operator

Straight talk on what it is

Reservations are live in BarkWhiz today and included in every plan — it's the operational core the rest of the product runs on. One engine covers boarding, daycare, training, and multi-session packages, with capacity, deposits, and check-in in the same flow. See it running in the operations walkthrough, or read how it plays out for a boarding facility.

Works with the rest of BarkWhiz

Reservations aren't a silo — they're the engine the rest of your day runs on.

Reservations questions, answered

One engine handles all of it: boarding, daycare, training, and multi-session packages. Boarding stays, daycare days, training sessions, and bundles all book from the same calendar, with service tiers and sibling or multi-dog bookings supported — so you're not juggling a separate tool per service.

Yes. Multi-session packages and bundles are part of the reservations engine — sell a block of daycare days or training sessions and book against it as they're used. It's the same booking flow, so the front desk works packages the same way they work a single stay.

Yes. Deposits are applied at the time of booking, and your service tiers and policies ride along with the reservation. The booking captures what you need up front instead of leaving deposits and policy details to chase down later.

Yes. Reservations and booking are live today as part of the operational core, and they're included in every plan — it's the engine the rest of BarkWhiz runs on. One engine covers boarding, daycare, training, and packages. See pricing.
