For boarding kennels

Kennel booking software that earns its keep.

Payments taken when they book (or paid to you directly), check-ins chased, vaccination records kept, money that reconciles. Sable is built and tested at Kuruba, where Sable’s founder works. 3% of payments through Sable. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no lock-in. Not a booking page with extras bolted on: the whole of the admin in one system, set up around the way your kennels actually runs — because no two are alike. And Sable does the marketplace's job as well — bringing you new customers through the app and through AI assistants — without the 15–20% commission marketplaces charge for introductions.

The jobs it does

Your morning list, sorted the night before.

Up-front payment stops no-shows

Paid when they book, or paid to you directly (your choice per service), against your own cancellation policy.

Hotel-style check-in & check-out

Owners watch a countdown until check-in opens, then confirm their exact drop-off time — to the quarter-hour — and book their collection time the same way.

An arrivals board that chases

See who's confirmed and who's gone quiet. Ring or WhatsApp the quiet ones in one tap.

Vaccination records that follow the dog

One profile per dog — jabs, diet, vet, quirks — attached to every booking. Licence-condition record keeping, handled in passing.

Money that reconciles

Every payment lands on a ledger that matches your bank account to the penny.

Common questions

Questions kennel owners ask.

What is the best booking software for a boarding kennels in the UK?

The best kennel software is the one that fits how a working kennels actually runs: bookings paid in full up front to stop no-shows, a morning arrivals list you can trust, vaccination records attached to every pet, and payments that reconcile with your bank. Sable does exactly these jobs for 3% of payments through Sable. No monthly fee, no setup fee.

How is Sable different from monthly-fee kennel software?

Two ways. Money: 3% of each payment made through Sable, taken when the customer pays. No monthly fee, no setup fee, instead of a subscription every month regardless. You keep the rest, less Stripe’s card fee; Sable only earns when your diary fills. Sable is built and tested at Kuruba, where Sable’s founder works. The features are the jobs that actually eat a kennel owner's day — chasing arrivals, taking payments, reconciling them — not features designed in an office.

Does Sable handle vaccination records?

Yes. Every pet has one profile holding vaccinations, diet, vet details and quirks, captured once and attached to every booking — which also makes licence-condition record keeping straightforward.

Can it run a mixed kennels and cattery?

Yes. Sable is built and tested at Kuruba, where Sable’s founder works. Dogs and cats, separate capacities and rates, one diary.

Do I have to set it up myself?

No. We come to your kennels, configure your services, rates, capacity and cancellation policies, and migrate your existing client and pet records. Free, and usually done in about half an hour.
