Frequently asked questions
What does dog daycare software do?
It runs the daycare day: temperament evaluations, check-in/out, playgroup assignment by size/energy, capacity caps, package and punch-card sales, recurring weekday booking, vaccine verification, and report cards to owners.
Can owners buy packages and book recurring days online?
Yes. Owners purchase 10-packs or unlimited monthly, then self-book recurring weekdays. Capacity rules block over-booking automatically.
How does Chartling handle temperament evaluations?
Every new dog goes through a structured eval before being approved for daycare. The result is on their profile and gates online booking until they pass.
