Dog daycare software built to run a full day of play.
Buddyz manages check-in and check-out, daily capacity, group activities, and report cards for parents — so your team can focus on the dogs, not the paperwork.

Manage current operations and workflow
Daycare gets chaotic fast without the right system behind it.
Between check-ins, group management, and keeping parents updated, most daycares end up juggling a headcount clipboard, a group text, and a separate booking tool.
Manual headcounts
Tracking who's checked in, who's been picked up, and current capacity by hand is slow and error-prone on a busy day.
No record of the day
Without a system, there's no easy way to note how a dog's day went — temperament, incidents, or standout moments.
Parents left wondering
Without updates during the day, parents are left guessing how their dog is doing until pickup.
One system for the entire daycare day.
From check-in to pickup, Buddyz tracks who's on-site, manages group activities, and turns the day into a report card parents actually want to see.
Always know exactly who's checked in and current capacity.
Photos and notes from the day, sent automatically to parents.
The same profile works across daycare, grooming, and boarding.
Fast check-in and check-out for every dog, every day.
Digital check-in pulls up the dog's profile instantly, and check-out is just as quick — with an accurate, real-time headcount at all times.
- Digital check-in with instant profile and health flag pull-up
- Real-time headcount instead of a manual clipboard tally
- Quick check-out that updates capacity immediately
- Consistent record of every visit, automatically
Know your real capacity before you're overcrowded.
Set daily and per-group capacity limits, and let Buddyz track it in real time so you never accidentally accept more dogs than your space and staff can handle safely.
- Configurable daily and per-group capacity limits
- Real-time capacity tracking as dogs check in and out
- Online booking that respects actual daily capacity
- Safer, more manageable group sizes
Log activities and groups throughout the day.
Track which play group a dog is in, activities they participated in, and any notes worth remembering — feeding into the report card automatically.
- Group assignment and tracking throughout the day
- Activity logs staff can update quickly between playgroups
- Notes on temperament, energy level, and social behavior
- All data feeding directly into the day's report card
Send parents a report card, not just an invoice.
Photos, activity notes, and a summary of the day are compiled automatically and sent to parents — turning daycare into a service they can see the value of.
- Automatic daily report card with photos and notes
- Sent directly to parents without extra staff effort
- Builds trust and gives parents a reason to keep booking

- Automatic tracking of remaining visits or renewal dates
- Online purchase and renewal for customers
- One system for both scheduling and package tracking
Organize dogs into groups that make sense for your space.
Assign dogs to playgroups based on size, temperament, or energy level, and keep track of group assignments throughout the day.
- Flexible group assignment by size, temperament, or age
- Visibility into which staff member is supervising which group
- Easy reassignment if a dog needs a different group mid-day
- Group history that feeds into future placement decisions
