Know who's in, who's due and who's cleared before the first dog arrives.
Daycare lives or dies by the morning rush. Tendstay gets the checks done before drop-off, so the front desk spends those minutes on the dogs, not the paperwork.
Before drop-off
- Readiness, checked ahead
- Each family sees what's missing before they arrive: an agreement to sign, a vaccine record to upload. The app stops a booking or check-in with a clear reason when something has lapsed.
- Evaluations for new dogs
- New families book a first-visit evaluation from your open slots, and your team moves each one from booked to approved.
- Kiosk check-in
- A tablet by the door lets families check themselves in with a QR code or phone number, so the desk handles the exceptions.
During the day
- Roll Call
- One list of every dog on site, with check-in times, meals and medical alerts.
- Photos parents can see
- Post the day's photos and stories to a private feed only your families can open.
- Care tasks
- Lunches and medications show up as tasks for the people on shift, and missed ones are flagged.
Selling daycare
- Day packs
- Sell packs of days; a credit is used automatically each time a dog is checked out.
- Member pricing and unlimited daycare
- An annual member plan unlocks member prices. Unlimited daycare renews monthly through your own Stripe account.
- Saturday and weekday rates
- Different rates for different days come from one price list, so the desk, the portal and the kiosk always agree.
Questions owners ask us
Can parents book daycare themselves?
Yes. They book from their own portal, which checks their dog's vaccines and agreement first, and uses a package credit or membership automatically when they have one.
Does it handle daycare packages and memberships?
Yes: day packs with credits, an annual member plan with member pricing, and monthly unlimited daycare that renews through your own Stripe account.
What happens when a dog's vaccine has expired?
The booking or check-in is stopped with the reason shown to the parent and the desk. A manager can override with a logged reason when it's appropriate.
