Key Features & Interface

VISUAL PLANNING & KENNEL MANAGEMENT

Manage your bookings and the occupancy of your pens

Easily manage check-in and check-out dates, see your kennels' occupancy rate live and avoid overbooking. A smooth, colourful calendar view to plan your activity with peace of mind.

  • Interactive planning per accommodation / kennel (dogs & cats)
  • Live tracking of arrivals, departures and boarders currently present
  • Management of stay options (extra walks, specific care, tailored feeding)
WEBSITE & ONLINE BOOKING

Your availability on show, your bookings coming in by themselves

Your boarding kennel has a website to share on your social media. Owners discover your establishment, check the calendar of animals already booked, pick their arrival and departure dates directly on the calendar, then send you their request — even without an account. It lands in your stay requests, you set the price, they confirm.

See a demo site

A real example: check the calendar and start a booking request just as an owner would.

ACCOUNTING & E-INVOICING (PDP)

Create your quotes and invoices and track your cash flow

Generate your stay invoices in one click from the boarding rate or the options chosen. Track your payments and operating expenses, and be ready for France's 2026 e-invoicing reform thanks to our approved partner platform (PDP).

QR CODE TRACEABILITY & LIVE JOURNAL

Reassure your clients with live news and photos

New

Prices, deposit, arrival, journal, boxes, loyalty: the whole pension, not just the planning

You enter your prices and your stays. The app turns them into quotes, deposits, contracts, the register, news for owners, box occupancy and client reminders — without a single extra line.

Your prices once, the quote by itself

Prices by species and size, cheaper second animal, holiday surcharges, minimum stay: you enter your price list once. Owners see an estimate before sending their request, your proposal is pre-filled, and the invoice matches the quote to the cent. Your website's price page updates itself.

Online deposit, firm bookings

When the owner confirms, they get a link to pay the deposit by card. The booking becomes firm once paid; without payment in time (72 h by default), it is cancelled and the place released. The deposit is deducted automatically from the final invoice. No commission from us.

Arrival and departure without disputes

An arrival sheet in 2 minutes on the phone: weight, condition, photos, checked items, emergency contact, care authorization and limit, owner's finger signature. Required vaccinations are checked 7 days before and on arrival, and the signed custody contract PDF is emailed. At departure, any item not returned is flagged.

The entries and exits register, already filled in

Every arrival and departure feeds the regulatory register: stable order number, animal and identification, owner and contact details, observations. The health register lists the care given during stays. One-click PDF for inspections.

News for the owner, even without the app

One photo, two lines, "Publish": the owner gets "News from Rex" by email and follows the holidays on a personal page, no account needed. A summary every evening at 7 pm or every news, as they prefer. They can reply, and receive the stay album as a PDF at the end. A group walk? One post for everyone.

The day plan: who sleeps where

Draw your boxes, assign each stay in two taps, see the whole week at a glance. Capacity per box and per species (5 dogs and 8 cats), a suggested box at confirmation, a warning or refusal when full. Plus the occupancy rate by month or week, compared with last year.

Full? A waiting list instead of a lost client

Your public calendar shows full days. On a full period, the booking form offers "Notify me if a place becomes available". A cancellation? The app tells you who was waiting for those dates, and you notify them in one click with a booking link.

Clients who come back, reviews that reassure

"Came last year at this time and not booked yet": one filter, one template message, a pre-filled booking link for each. After each stay, a review request; you validate what gets published, reply publicly, and the average rating shows on your website from 3 reviews. A negative review is never published automatically: you call the client back.

Found by owners in your town

"Dog boarding in [town]" pages list the pensions of each town and department, and highlight those taking online bookings. Already listed? Click "This is my pension": verification goes to your listing's address and your space is created pre-filled.
