KennelBooker was the best thing I did starting up

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I love it. I looked at other booking software and this is the best for the value by far.

Pros:

It is so easy to use, track vaccinations, organize bookings and see my daily to do

Cons:

I would love an app I can send my clients. I would also like to be able to put private clients notes (like if we have had any issues in the past)

Big fan of KB

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: We've had an overall great experience.

Pros:

Easy of contacting customer service, for my entire team. I needed software that the team members could troubleshoot so it made my life easier. We like almost everything about Kennel Booker and the things we would change are pretty minimal.

Cons:

I listed most of them on the previous screen. I didn't list one thing that would help tremendously and is probably one of the most stressful parts of my life during Dec/Jan. The subscriptions and the services are very difficult to update pricing for. The subscriptions are tied to Stripe, so I am sure there's not much that can be done about that. I noticed when we updated prices that we had to manually change them in each portal location for each scheduled service.

Lovely and confusing

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Purpose wise, our needs are met. But It would be awesowe to be able to decide what yoy would like on the "first page" så the features we use more often could be easy access...

Pros:

I like the fact that you are aloud to klick on different parts in the program and still manage to get to were you want. there is not just an ONLY WAY of access, but several.

Cons:

The fact that we still have't figured out how two customers that booket the same dates of stay - and get different quantity of days/nights. One had 7 nights and the other one 8 nights... How come? :) And some functions is hidden in text that work like links but with no appearence of that function...

We're glad to hear that you appreciate the flexibility of navigating through Kennelbooker and that it meets your needs overall. Regarding the number of day/nights the system lets you charge for an additional day/night if checkout is not before a certain time, eg if the pet is not collected by 5pm an additional nights fee would be added to the booking. Also on set up switching from nightly based bookings to daily based bookings would mean a Mon-Fri booking would be counted as 4 nights or 5 days depending on your preferred pricing. We've already taken some of your suggestions and added them to the system! Thank you for choosing Kennelbooker for its affordability and fit for your business. We’re always here to help if you need further assistance!

Good program

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: it has been an ok program to work with. good for the industry

Pros:

good at keeping client information, and online bookings

Cons:

the individual pages get bogged down, when you use the activity portal, we had to create our own airtable to record activity, since we have dogs that stay with us long team. Also, when a client has multiple dogs boarding, it will not separate them out on the boarding calendar, so if the client has 5 dogs, it will show all 5 dogs in 5 different slots on the calendar (this sucks). would love for the activities to have a portal on the daily overview page, so that you could from there input items, but that will only be helpful if you can keep the individual dog pages from bogging down.

Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad to hear that KennelBooker has been a good fit for managing client information and online bookings, and that it seemed like the better option for your business needs. We appreciate your feedback regarding the activity portal and how individual pages can get bogged down. We updated this to add paging for when adding so many activity records, most bookings tend to be 1-2 weeks in duration, in your case they last for months and we hadn't factored this into the design of the activity feature. You can also now quick record feeding and medications from the daily overview screen. Thank you for choosing KennelBooker and for sharing your insights. We're here to help improve your experience and make the system even better for your needs!
