A home boarder in Cloverdale with a big yard and space for six dogs gets three separate messages the same evening about the long weekend, says yes to all of them without checking, and realises too late she has promised beds she does not have. The demand around Surrey is steady, a lot of it home-based on larger properties, and the bookings arrive by text, DM and word of mouth all at once. That is exactly where a full weekend gets oversold on a memory. We set Surrey boarders and daycares up with one system that books by date, knows the real capacity, and bills on its own.
Techalyst builds and sets up booking and billing software for dog boarding and daycare businesses across Surrey and the Lower Mainland.
Boarding and daycare in Surrey
Surrey has the space that a lot of the Lower Mainland does not, so much of its boarding is home-based on larger lots and acreage across Cloverdale, Fleetwood and the southern edges, often with bigger dogs and families who travel. It is a trust-driven, referral-heavy business where bookings come through messages rather than a slick app. Two things matter most: capacity that cannot be oversold when three families want the same long weekend, and vaccination records on file before a new dog ever arrives.
From drop-off to paid
- Owners book a range of nights for boarding, or recurring daycare days, on your own page.
- Capacity is respected, so a full weekend cannot be promised to more dogs than you can hold.
- Each dog has its profile, vaccination records and notes, ready before drop-off.
- The booking invoices itself, owners pay online, and a deposit holds a peak-season stay.
- Walks, baths and extra playtime attach to the booking and the total.
A home-based operator or a full facility, each managed as its own capacity.
What you can add on top
Because we build the software, booking is only the base. When you are ready, we grow it, under your own brand:
- Your own website, with booking built in.
- An owner portal for bookings, vaccination records and rebooking.
- An online store for daycare passes and packages.
- A mobile app so owners book and you run the day from your phone.
Start with booking and capacity, add the rest as you grow.
Own your business, don't rent it
Pet-boarding platforms charge monthly and keep your client and pet records. The setup we build keeps your owners, their dogs' records and your revenue on your own side, with no per-run fees as you grow.
Built for Surrey
Surrey boarding runs on trust, space and repeat families in a referral-driven community, with bookings coming in through messages during every long weekend. Real capacity that never oversells, vaccination records on file before arrival, and a booking link an owner can use from their phone are what turn a flood of DMs into a calm, full, paid-ahead weekend. We build that for you.
Common questions
Can it stop me overbooking a long weekend?
Yes. Capacity is respected, so a full weekend can never be promised to more dogs than you can hold.
Can it hold vaccination records for each dog?
Yes. Every dog has a profile with vaccination records and notes.
Can owners book recurring daycare days?
Yes. Recurring daycare days and multi-night boarding are both handled.
Does it work for home-based boarding or a full facility?
Both. One operator or a facility with several rooms, each with its own capacity.
