Daycare and boarding rate pages
Day rates, packages, and boarding by suite type, with what each price includes and when it changes.
The Problem
New Dogs Get Stuck Between Your Website and Front Desk
Most dog daycare websites show happy photos and a phone number. The questions owners really have, about evaluations, vaccines, rates, and holiday dates, all land on your front desk line.
01 · Hidden rates
Rates say call us, and calls come during drop-off.
Daycare, boarding, and package rates sit on their own pages.
02 · Surprise rules
Owners learn about evaluation days after planning the trip.
Requirements show first: evaluation day, required vaccines, and any spay or neuter rule.
03 · Paper records
Vaccine records arrive at check-in on paper or phone screens.
The evaluation request collects vaccine records before the first visit.
04 · Holiday rush
Holiday requests pile up in voicemail and a spreadsheet.
Peak dates, deposits, and minimum stays are published, and requests go to your portal.
An owner needs boarding over the holidays and finds your site in a search. The page shows dogs playing, a phone number, and a note to call for rates. They call during morning drop-off, while your front desk checks in a line of dogs. Nobody mentions that new dogs need an evaluation day first, or which vaccines you require. By the time they find out, your holiday suites are gone, and they blame you.
We start with the gate every new dog passes through. Owners see your requirements first: the evaluation day, the vaccines you require, and any spay or neuter rule. The evaluation request collects vaccine records up front. Rates, packages, and holiday rules sit on their own pages. Reservation requests go into your kennel software's portal, so the front desk handles dogs, not phones.
Evaluation before the first stay
New dogs request an evaluation day and upload vaccine records before any reservation is possible.
Holiday dates set in advance
Peak dates, deposits, and minimum stays are published before owners start asking for them.
Requests go to your portal
Reservation requests land in Gingr, PetExec, Revelation Pets, or your own system, not your inbox.
Our Dog Daycare Website Design Process
From Front Desk Questions to Launch in Five Clear Steps
You approve the rate pages, the new-dog path, and the portal links, then your front desk tests a reservation request before launch.
We go through the questions your front desk answers most, then review your kennel software, rates, and vaccine rules. You get a page plan and a fixed-price proposal before design starts.
What's Included
What Goes Into Dog Kennel Website Design
Every build covers rate pages, the new-dog path, vaccine rules, holiday policies, portal links, and launch. Bigger plans add suite galleries, report card pages, and pages for each location.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and reservation tools for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Daycare Owners Trust Us With Their Front Desk
Your front desk juggles dogs, owners, and phones at the same time. These habits move routine questions onto the website and keep new dogs screened.
Requirements before rates
New owners see the evaluation day and vaccine rules before they fall for a suite. Fewer surprises at the door means fewer upset calls.
Your software stays in charge
Reservations, records, and payments stay in the kennel software you already run. The website points owners in and doesn't keep a second calendar.
Your yards, not stock dogs
We design around photos of your own play yards, suites, and staff. Owners leaving a dog overnight want to see where it sleeps.
Built ahead of peak season
We plan launches around your holiday rush, not in the middle of it. Peak date rules go live before owners start booking trips.
Honest about what you need
If your software's portal and a simple page cover you, we'll say so before we quote. A full build should save your front desk real time.
Your site, your content
The domain, site, and every page sit in accounts in your name. Change kennel software later, and we swap the portal links instead of rebuilding.

Good fit
Daycares adding overnight boarding
You've added overnight boarding, but your dog daycare website still only explains day play, so boarding questions tie up the front desk at drop-off.
Kennels with a dated site
Your kennel's site was built years ago, and you want kennel website design that shows suites, rates, and vaccine rules before owners call.
Pet resorts with holiday rushes
Your suites sell out every holiday, and the waitlist lives in a spreadsheet. You need peak dates, deposits, and minimum stays shown before owners ask.
Owners on Gingr, PetExec, or Revelation Pets
You already run reservations in kennel software, and you want a dog boarding website that sends owners into that portal instead of retyping requests.
Agencies with pet care clients
Your agency's daycare client needs a rebuilt WordPress site with evaluation requests and portal links, delivered under your brand.
Not a fit
Training is the main service
Training programs and classes are most of your business, with a little boarding. Dog Trainer Website Design covers intake, evaluations, and class enrollment.
Vet clinic that boards
You're a veterinary clinic that boards patients on the side. Veterinary Website Design covers appointments, emergencies, and clinic software.
Sitters and walkers
You care for pets in owners' homes rather than at a facility. Pet Business Website Design covers sitters, walkers, and groomers.
Budget under $1,100
Your budget is under $1,100, or the facility hasn't opened yet. A one-page site that links to your kennel software's portal will do for now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on building a daycare site, cost, timelines, evaluations, vaccines, holiday rules, and kennel software.
Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
You create one by answering a new owner's questions in order: what you require, what it costs, and how to book. Start with an evaluation request and your vaccine rules, then rate pages for daycare, packages, and boarding. Add suite and playgroup photos, holiday policies, and a link into your kennel software's portal.
A dog boarding business website from DeveloperLook starts at $1,100 with rate pages, an evaluation request with vaccine uploads, and portal links. Boarding growth sites with holiday rules, suite pages, and report card pages start at $2,400, and multi-location builds start at $4,900. Your kennel software subscription stays separate, and the quote is fixed after a free call.
A starter site takes 3 to 4 weeks, a boarding growth site 5 to 6 weeks, and a multi-location build 7 to 9 weeks. We plan the launch around your holiday calendar, since changing booking rules during a peak week confuses regulars. Rates and suite photos are the usual wait.
Yes, through each vendor's own customer portal. Gingr suggests linking its portal from your website, where owners request reservations and upload vaccine records. PetExec's owner portal takes reservation requests and file uploads, and Revelation Pets offers an online booker for your site. We place and test those links instead of building a second booking system.
Through an evaluation request that comes before any reservation is possible. The page explains what happens on evaluation day, and the request collects vaccine records and behavior notes. Only then are owners pointed to reservations. Your team sets the rules, such as temperament testing or spay and neuter limits, and the website makes sure every new owner sees them first.
Ask for the vaccines your facility requires, set with your vet, which usually include core vaccines such as rabies and distemper. AAHA classes Bordetella as a noncore vaccine recommended for dogs in kennels, daycares, and other busy settings. The form collects proof and expiry dates, so your team catches lapsed records before check-in.
We give peak dates their own page and a notice on every boarding page. It lists the dates, the deposit, the minimum stay, and the cancellation window, all in your words. The multi-location plan adds a waitlist form for sold-out dates, and deposits are collected in your kennel software or payment tool.
It's built around overnight stays: suite types, what's included per night, feeding and medication rules, and pickup hours. A general pet site focuses on appointments. Boarding owners also want to see where their dog sleeps and how staff check on dogs overnight, so photos and policies carry more weight.
Yes, if you offer them, because owners leaving a dog for the day want to know how they'll hear about it. We explain how report cards arrive, by email or text from your software, and link to your webcam service with its viewing hours. If you don't offer cams, the page says what you do instead.
Yes, the domain, site, photos, and policy pages sit in accounts in your name. Reservations and records stay in your kennel software under your own login. Post-launch fixes run 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the plan, and we show your team how to change rates and peak dates.
