Strengths & Weaknesses

Revelation Pets
KennelBooker
Pros
✓Rated very easy to use with a clean, modern interface (Capterra ease of use 4.8)
✓Capacity-based pricing (rooms/daycare spaces, not per user) is cheaper for small teams sharing one system
✓Highly praised, fast customer support (Capterra customer service 4.9)
✓Fast, well-reviewed support — reviewers cite ~15-minute email responses
✓Free done-for-you data migration — the vendor uploads your data at no cost, even during the trial
✓Easy to set up and use, with customizable space names and per-pet questionnaires
✓Genuine all-in-one: online booking, scheduling, reminders, vaccine tracking, payments and reporting in one system
✓Automatic vaccination-compliance tracking with expiration alerts
✓Covers five service types (daycare, boarding, cattery, grooming, training) so multi-service facilities avoid stitching tools together
✓14-day free trial with no credit card, no long-term contract, and free data migration
✓Accounting sync to QuickBooks and Xero plus Mailchimp email reduce double-entry
✓Named integrations for QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, MailChimp, and Google Calendar
Cons
✗Reviewers report bugs, including a case of recurring reservations disappearing unrecoverably
✗Online card payments are Stripe-only, and reviewers note Stripe fees as expensive (VoC)
✗Payment status can be unclear — "not obvious if your payment has gone through," and the same for refunds
✗Calendar cannot span month-to-month without changing pages (VoC)
✗Scheduling offers only general time slots, and some workflows take more clicks than expected
✗Added services (e.g. a groom on a boarded dog) do not surface prominently on the schedule (VoC)
✗Limited point-of-sale functionality; reviewers wanted more POS depth
✗Newer features feel "bolt-on" and individual pages can bog down in the activity portal (VoC)
✗No free tier and a $60/mo entry price make it pricier than some entry-level tools
✗Reviewers say it handles multiple boarding types poorly, and want a dedicated client app (VoC)
✗Scale ceiling — larger and multi-location operators are pushed to "contact us," and one user outgrew it around 25 dogs
✗Reporting customization is limited (VoC)

Who uses pet care software — and what each person does with it

🧑‍💼 Business owner

Watches bookings, revenue, retention and no-shows by service and by staff member on one dashboard — sees which services and repeat clients actually make money.

📞 Front-desk / reception

Books appointments, checks pets in and out, takes deposits and payments, and sends automated reminders so slots stay full and clients show up on time.

✂️ Groomer / walker / sitter

Runs the day from a mobile app — sees the schedule, logs services and notes, tracks GPS check-ins on walks, and sends report cards and photos to owners.

🐾 Pet parent / client

Books online, uploads vaccination records, pays and tips, and self-serves rebooking from a client portal — then gets an automatic reminder and review request.

The flow the software runs end to end: client books online → vaccination and intake collected → appointment scheduled and staff assigned → check-in → service delivered with notes and photos → payment and tip → automatic rebooking and review request. Each stage hands off to the next without re-keying.
