Run the whole day from one screen
Everything a working kennel juggles — bookings, shots, meals, money — kept tidy without you babysitting it.
A booking calendar that knows your runs by name
See every run, suite, and daycare spot at a glance. Goodstay flags overlaps before they happen and shows exactly what's open when the phone rings.

- ✓ Waitlists and blocked dates built in

Expired shots get caught before check-in

- ✓ Check-in warnings you can't miss

The daily update owners forward to the whole family
A photo, a few stars, a line about lunch — sent from your phone in under a minute. It's the reason first-time customers become regulars.
- ✓ Photos and notes sent mid-stay, automatically logged
- ✓ Owners reply in the same thread — no lost texts
- ✓ Your best marketing, written at nap time
“Big zoomies in the play yard this morning, then a very serious nap. Ate every bite of lunch.”
✓ Delivered to the Hendersons
Stays turn into invoices. Invoices get paid.
Boarding, daycare, grooming, and add-ons land on one invoice per family. Owners pay online, and the sales-tax report writes itself at quarter's end.
- ✓ Online payments — no more chasing checks
- ✓ One invoice per family, however many pets
- ✓ Quarterly sales-tax report, ready to file
And the rest of the job, too

The big names charge $149–180 a month for the same job. Goodstay just… doesn't.
Built different. On purpose.
The big players got acquired by private equity and stopped caring about small kennels. We're the independent alternative — and we plan to stay that way.
Boarding-first
Not a pet-sitting app with boarding bolted on. Every feature is designed for facilities with runs, suites, and physical spaces.
Independent forever
No private equity. No VC funding. No inevitable price hike. Just a product that earns your business every month.
Honest pricing
No per-staff surcharges. No hidden fees. No forced payment processing. Predictable pricing that grows with you.
Real support
Talk to the people who build the product. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. Actual humans who care.
Questions? Answers.
Independent pet boarding facilities — kennels, doggy daycares, catteries, and home-based boarders. If you have physical spaces (runs, suites, condos) where animals stay, Goodstay is designed specifically for you.
Most facilities are up and running within an hour. Create your account, add your runs/suites, set your rates, and you're ready to take reservations. If you have existing customer data in spreadsheets, we'll help you import it.
No. Goodstay is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime with no penalties or fees.
Yes. Every Goodstay plan includes a beautiful, mobile-friendly online booking page. Share the link on your website and social media, and customers can book 24/7 with real-time availability. Plans differ only by size (pets and staff), never by features.
Goodstay integrates with both Stripe and Square for secure payment processing. You can collect deposits at booking, charge at pickup, or sell prepaid daycare packages. Choose the processor you already use — we never force you onto a specific one.
Absolutely. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in secure PostgreSQL databases, and backed up daily. We take data security seriously — your customer records and business data are protected by industry-standard practices.
Some competitors charge $15-20 extra per month for each additional staff member who needs access. We think that's unfair. With Goodstay, staff accounts are included in your plan — no per-person fees, ever.
Yes. We offer migration assistance for customers switching from other kennel management software. We can help you import your customer data, pet records, and vaccination history.
