DoggieDashboard review
A low-cost kennel manager with a free tier, core records and scheduling, and web-only access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DoggieDashboard is a cloud-based management tool for kennels and other pet-care businesses, including boarding facilities, daycares, groomers, sitters and walkers. Its feature set centers on pet and client records, uploaded documents, intake forms, kennel or run occupancy, appointments, recurring bookings, vaccine expiry monitoring and staff schedules. Invoices, receipts, financial reports, electronic waivers, reminder emails and pet check-in/check-out tracking extend the operational coverage. The product is accessed through a web browser and is aimed at solo and small businesses.
The published plans use a freemium model. Free costs $0 per month and allows up to 10 pet profiles. Premium Monthly costs $40 per month with unlimited pet profiles, while Premium Yearly costs $400 per year and also provides unlimited profiles. The paid tiers therefore focus on removing the profile limit rather than introducing a different core workflow. A kennel can start with the free plan, then choose monthly or annual billing as its records grow.
DoggieDashboard fits operations that want occupancy visibility, appointment requests, recurring appointments, vaccine monitoring and staff scheduling alongside billing records. Online waivers with electronic signatures, appointment reminder emails and check-in/check-out tracking support routine client workflows. The trade-off is a web-only platform with email support, no integrations, and narrower client-portal capability than its core records and scheduling functions. Larger or multi-site operations seeking broader ecosystem connections or deeper portal functions may need another kennel system; solo operators and small facilities focused on essential administration should find the scope more suitable.
