About

BooknBuddy is booking and business-management software for pet care providers, including boarding kennels, daycares, groomers, trainers, dog walkers and pet sitters. Businesses manage online bookings, service capacity, calendars, kennel assignments, grooming schedules, customer and pet records, vaccination documents, waivers, invoices, deposits and payments. Pet owners can book through a business’s booking page and use a portal or mobile app to view bookings, pay invoices, receive photo updates and message providers. Staff tools include daily check-in and pickup views, reminders, reporting, staff schedules and payroll hours. BooknBuddy connects with Stripe or Square for card payments and syncs invoices, payments and customer records with QuickBooks and Xero. It supports services ranging from boarding and daycare to grooming, training, walking and in-home pet sitting, with English and French interfaces. An optional AI receptionist answers calls and texts and can book eligible services.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Fun modern design. Great potential. Pretty good price point & responsive email support. Has helped me see exactly what we need moving forward.

Cons

  • Too many seemingly simple things to list: No On / off toggle to customize preferences. Clients are bombarded with so many useless automated emails that when it’s an important one they get ignored. (No option to turn off check in / out emails). Don't even attempt to ask for phone support even in an emergency!!!! The app is constantly buggy either not loading or reminding you 20x up to 10pm to check out a dog that was already checked out!! Bing bing bing bing. No way to turn this off either. Schedule often doesn't load for staff at all lately- a total nightmare to run a business like this.
