Feeding schedules
Per-dog diet, portion, and frequency, printed or on the whiteboard for kennel staff.
Medication administration

Why facilities switch to Chartling
- One system for boarding + grooming + training + daycare. Stop juggling Gingr, MoeGo, and a spreadsheet.
- Med administration that holds up. Every dose check-off is logged with a user and timestamp.
- Owners actually book online. Real availability, deposits, signed contracts, no phone tag.
- Per-staff pricing that makes sense. Kennel attendants use it free.

Frequently asked questions
What does dog boarding software do?
It manages reservations, kennel/run assignments, feeding and medication schedules, vaccine verification at intake, billing, online booking, and owner communication. Chartling adds report cards, integrated grooming and training, and (for clinics) the medical chart.
Can owners book online and pay deposits?
Yes. Chartling gives each facility a public booking page with availability, deposits, and signed contracts before the stay is confirmed.
What if a dog needs meds during the stay?
Medication schedules attach to the reservation, show up on the kennel whiteboard, and require a staff check-off, so nothing gets missed and you have a record if a question comes up later.
