Core features

Everything a pet boarding business needs to ensure bookings run smoothly.

Why BoardingWP

A pet boarding stay is so much more than just an appointment date.

Boarding businesses need more than a booking form. They need stay-based availability, structured pet information, clear payment handling, and booking records that stay trustworthy after the customer has checked out. BoardingWP keeps that operational picture inside WordPress, so your website helps run the business, not just market it.

Built from real-world experience

Pricing, capacity, availability, and closures are all handled together, giving you a booking flow that matches real boarding operations.

Native to WooCommerce

BoardingWP handles the boarding rules and booking flow, while WooCommerce works under the hood to power payments, orders, coupons, and refunds.

Pet details stay structured

Important care notes, intake answers, and saved profiles stay organised as part of the booking, allowing each confirmed stay to remain an accurate record.

Better for regular customers

Returning customers can reuse saved pet profiles, making repeat bookings quicker without having to re-enter lengthy pet details each time.

Focused product scope

BoardingWP is built for small boarding businesses operating from a single location, and with one WooCommerce currency.

Bookings on your own website

Take direct bookings through your own WordPress site, so your customer journey, payments, and booking flow stay under your control.

Built for real businesses

For boarding businesses that want their website to do more of the work

BoardingWP is for operators who want fewer manual messages, clearer customer information, and a direct paid booking flow that works the way real boarding businesses do.
