Test occupancy across dates
A booking spanning a weekend should be visible on every relevant night. Check what the system counts on arrival and departure days, and whether cleaning or turnaround time changes availability.
- Create an illustrative Friday-to-Monday stay.
- Try a room change partway through the stay.
- Check what happens when pickup is delayed.
Consider the whole pet family
Ask how multiple pets on one booking share or use separate spaces. Check whether costs, instructions and permissions stay attached to the correct pet. Use fictional records to test unusual combinations before importing real information.
Keep add-ons and changes understandable
An added grooming appointment may reserve a person and time as well as a room. Ask how a change to the stay affects that appointment, any deposit and the confirmation sent to the owner. Confirm the exact behaviour in the product you are considering.
Compare reservation systems on your own rules
BooknBuddy and Gingr describe boarding reservation workflows. Check current Canadian terms and ask for a walkthrough of occupancy, cancellations and exports. This website provides selection criteria; it does not accept pet-owner reservations or claim Flor operates a boarding system.
Questions before you choose
Can a simple booking calendar handle a kennel?
Only if it can represent your overnight space and reservation rules accurately. A row of appointments alone may not show occupancy across nights, shared rooms or arrival/departure rules.
Are customer bookings confirmed here?
No. SchedulingSoftware.ca is for businesses choosing software. Pet owners should book directly with their care provider.
