Pawteli

Boarding · Daycare · Kennels

Pet boarding software that doesn't hold your kennel hostage.

$149 a month, flat, every feature. Bring your own card processor and we never touch a cent of your takings. Export everything, any time. Built for the boarding and daycare businesses with a handful of staff, not for the roll-up that just bought your current software.

No card to start. Your data leaves as a CSV the day you ask for it.

What you get

The day, on one screen

Who is arriving, who is going home, who is on site, and what needs a person. Money owed at pickup and lapsed vaccines surface themselves rather than waiting to be found.

A lodging board that reads at a glance

Suites down, days across. Each bar is the dog's own coat colour, so staff spot a stay without reading it. Availability understands that a handover day is not a clash.

Vaccines that chase themselves

Every expiry tracked, the owner nudged automatically before it lapses, and a dog who is not current cannot be checked into a playgroup by mistake.

Photos parents actually want

Staff add pictures to a stay from their phone in the yard. They appear on the pet parent's page straight away. This is the thing people tell their friends about.

A page for every pet parent

No password to remember. Their pets, vaccine dates, what is booked, photos from the stay, and a form to ask for the next one.

Switching in an afternoon

Drop in an export from your current software. Columns are matched automatically and shown to you before anything is saved. Dates it cannot read are reported, never guessed.

Why the bill looks different

Most software in this category makes its money on payment processing, which is why the monthly price is only part of what you pay. Pawteli is not a payment company, so there is nothing for us to add.

No fee on your takings

A flat $149 a month whatever you turn over. We never sit between you and a card payment, so there is no percentage for us to take.

Elsewhere: Payments are the business model. That is where a gateway fee can appear, on top of the card rate you already pay.

Your own card processor

Keep whatever you use now. Pawteli records what is owed and what you collected; the money never passes through us.

Elsewhere: Processing is usually bundled, and moving away from it can mean moving software.

Leaving is one button

Every person, pet and vaccine date exports to CSV whenever you want, without asking anyone. It is in the settings page.

Elsewhere: Export varies. Ask what you get, and in what format, before you need it.

Vaccine certificates read for you

A pet parent photographs the certificate and the dates are read off it. Staff confirm in one tap, and nothing saves until they do.

Elsewhere: Typically typed in by hand, or filed as an image nobody reads again.

The vaccine binder, gone

A pet parent photographs the certificate on their phone. Pawteli reads the dates off it, including the handwritten ones, and shows you what it found. You glance at it and tap save. If it could not read something it says so instead of guessing, because a wrong date is how an unvaccinated dog ends up in a playgroup.

How vaccine tracking works

Built for a few hundred regulars, not a chain

The independent kennels and daycares with a handful of staff, who know every dog by name and would rather spend the morning with them than in a spreadsheet.

Common questions

What is Pawteli?
Pawteli is software for pet boarding and daycare businesses. It covers the day at the front desk (arrivals, departures, who is on site), a lodging board for boarding stays, pet and owner records, vaccine tracking, and a page each pet parent can use to see their pet's dates and request a stay.
How much does Pawteli cost?
$149 a month, flat, including every feature. There is no per-transaction fee and no gateway fee, because Pawteli never handles your payments. You keep whatever card processor you already use and pay them their normal rate.
Does Pawteli take a percentage of my payments?
No. Pawteli is not a payment processor and does not sit between you and a card payment. Stays record what is owed and what you collected; you run the card on your own reader.
Can I move my data from Gingr, PetExec or Revelation Pets?
Yes. Export your customers and pets to CSV and drop the file in. Pawteli matches the columns and shows you the mapping before a single row is written. People are matched on email, so one owner with four dogs stays one owner rather than becoming four customers.
Can I get my data back out?
Yes, whenever you want, without asking. One button in settings exports every person, pet and vaccine date as a CSV. Being easy to leave is the point.
How does the vaccine tracking work?
A pet parent photographs the certificate on their phone and the dates are read off it, including handwritten ones. Staff see what was read, correct anything wrong, and tap save. Nothing is stored until a human confirms it. A pet whose required vaccine has lapsed cannot be checked in by accident.
What does Pawteli not do?
Grooming, walk scheduling, retail, point of sale and SMS are not built yet, and Pawteli does not process payments. If grooming or retail is a large part of your business, a more established system will suit you better today.
