Pettel designs boarding software built around how your kennel actually runs — bookings, customer records, payments, and reviews in one mobile-first tool, built exclusively for licensed Irish boarders.
If you've been managing bookings on paper, in a spreadsheet, or through Facebook DMs — Pettel is the upgrade built specifically for your kind of business.
One view of every overnight stay, day care drop-off, and walk. Block dates, set capacity per service, and stop double-bookings before they happen.
Owners pay through Stripe at booking time; funds land in your business bank account once the stay completes. No invoicing, no chasing, no card surcharges.
Run the kennel from your phone. Confirm bookings while you're feeding, send a check-in photo from the run, take a payment without going back to the desk.
Vaccination dates, behavioural notes, vet contacts, dietary needs — all on one card per pet. Repeat customers rebook in one tap.
Record your local-authority Animal Welfare licence number, expiry, and VAT details. Owners see your licensed-kennel badge at booking time — and you stand apart from the hobbyist sitters.
Verified reviews from completed stays only. Reply publicly, build a rating that's tied to your business — not to a personal Facebook profile that disappears overnight.
Onboarding for pilot kennels — the first booking lands the same week.
Business name, licence number, opening hours, max capacity, services and rates. Takes about 15 minutes — we can do it on a call together.
Stripe Connect handles payouts to your business IBAN. Owners pay the booking total at confirmation; funds release to you when the stay completes.
Repeat customers book directly from your profile link. New owners find you through the licensed-kennel directory. Either way, the booking lands in your calendar.
Confirm or decline from your phone. Send check-in updates with photos. Mark the booking complete and the payout releases automatically.
Most Irish kennels manage bookings on paper, in a spreadsheet, or through a desktop tool that hasn't been updated in years. Pettel is bespoke boarding software designed to replace all of it with one mobile-first product.
Owners booking through Pettel see only kennels with a recorded local-authority licence. That's the trust story — and it's why owners pick a Pettel kennel over a sitter advertised on a Facebook group.
Three things the pilot has to prove before this becomes a real product.
"That a licensed Irish kennel can replace their booking diary, payment-chasing, and customer notebook with one mobile tool — and run it from their phone in the kennel itself."
"That a flat €39/month is the right price for an Irish kennel — cheaper than the UK incumbents, painless to expense, and worth it for the time saved on admin alone."
"That the licensed-kennel-only directory is something pet owners actively prefer to a Facebook group or a Rover sitter — and that pilot kennels see real new bookings come through it."
Pilot kennels pay nothing for the first three months. After that, a flat monthly subscription — no per-booking cut, no card surcharge, no hidden line items.
Confirm bookings between feeds. Send a check-in photo from the run. Take a payment without coming back to the desk. Pilot kennels get an Android build today; iOS is in the queue.
