Stop running your pet hotel on WhatsApp, paper, and guesswork.
PawPlate gives pet hotels and daycares complete control over check-ins, feeding, medications, belongings, notes, and daily reports — in one proven system.
Built and tested at 4 Paws Inn & Hotel, Cape Town.
If your team misses details, the whole business feels it.
A premium boarding operation runs on a thousand small details every day. Miss one — a missed meal, a skipped dose, a lost blanket — and the trust you built over months is gone in a single phone call.
Feeding instructions get missed
Special diets, portion sizes and timing rules disappear into a clipboard or a pinned WhatsApp message that nobody reads at 6 a.m.
Medication logging is inconsistent
Some doses get written down. Some don't. When a vet asks for proof, your audit trail is a smudged page and the night handler's memory.
Check-ins take too long
Owners arrive at 7 a.m. wanting to drop and run. Your handlers are scribbling on paper while three more cars pull into the car park.
Staff notes are scattered
One handler messaged you. Another wrote it on the kennel door. A third remembers but forgot to write it down. Nobody has the full picture.
Owners expect updates fast
Pet parents want photos and reassurance the same day. Replying one-by-one through WhatsApp eats hours your team does not have.
There's no clean record of what happened
If anything goes wrong — a complaint, an insurance claim, an inspection — you cannot prove what was done, when, or by whom.
Built for real daily operations.
This is not a roadmap. Every step below is what The 4 Paws Inn & Hotel does on PawPlate today, every single day, with real dogs and real owners.
The board tells the team what to do
Dashboard shows who still needs feeding and what needs attention — no shouting across the kennel, no clipboards.
Every dose, every meal, logged
Medication and feeding are logged clearly with notes and alerts — handlers tap once, the record updates instantly.
Check-ins in three minutes flat
Check-ins capture dog details, food photos, medications and belongings — owners drop and go without the queue.
Reports write themselves
Reports and guest history keep records clean and management informed — compliance %, totals, exceptions, all in one tap.
Every handler sees who still needs feeding — right now.
One tap. Done. The whole team knows.
Three minutes from car park to kennel.
Everything about this dog, in one place.
Every meal. Every belonging. Photographed.
Who fed them? When? What did they eat? All logged.
171 dogs on file. 13 boarding right now.
The audit trail that writes itself.
Your weekly numbers, at a glance.
Every past guest. Every stay. Instantly searchable.
Everything your team needs to run a tighter operation.
Outcome-led. Built for handlers on their feet, managers at the desk, and owners on their phones.
Fast check-ins
Capture dog, owner, food, meds, and belongings in one flow — with photos, in three minutes.
Feeding control
See who's fed, who's pending, and where action is needed — across every shift, every meal.
Medication accountability
Reduce mistakes with clearer records and alerts. Every dose signed, timestamped, and audit-ready.
Belongings tracking
Photograph and log items at check-in to avoid disputes and lost-property issues at check-out.
Staff notes and history
Keep one clean operational record for every dog — no scattered messages, no lost context.
Reports and oversight
Improve handovers, daily reporting, and management visibility — at shift change and at month end.

Built by operators, not software tourists.
PawPlate did not come out of a workshop or a slide deck. It was built inside a working pet hotel, by people who know what 6 a.m. on a Saturday actually feels like.
Created from a real pet hotel environment
Every flow exists because a handler asked for it, not because a designer imagined it.
Tested in daily use at 4 Paws Inn & Hotel
Proven through real shifts, real medications, real disputes — not a controlled pilot.
Designed around real staff workflows
Big buttons, fast taps, and one screen at a time — built for staff on their feet, not in front of a desktop.
Works across desktop, tablet, and mobile
Use it on the kennel iPad, the reception desk, or the manager's phone — same experience, everywhere.
Getting started is simple.
No long sales cycle. No procurement gauntlet. From a first call to your team using PawPlate every day takes weeks, not quarters.
