Know exactly who's in the room. Every session, every day.
TailPro is the booking, attendance, capacity and care-notes system built for UK dog daycare businesses — so morning check-in stops being a headcount guessing game and starts being a live, accurate view.
No credit card required · Free plan, forever · Built for daycare
Still running daycare on headcounts and WhatsApp?
The problems TailPro was built to remove
Every daycare hits the same admin wall at drop-off and pickup. Here’s what changes when TailPro takes it over.
Before TailPro
- Headcounts done manually at drop-off, session by session
- Session capacity guessed rather than tracked
- Care notes on sticky notes, or simply remembered
- Staff-to-room assignments worked out fresh each morning
- Owners messaging you on WhatsApp for updates all day
With TailPro
- Digital check-in shows a live headcount for every session
- Capacity capped automatically per session or room
- Care notes attached to every pet's profile, always visible
- Staff and rooms assigned in advance, visible to the whole team
- Automated status updates sent without you lifting a phone
Everything your daycare needs
One system for bookings, attendance, pets, staff and payments
Built around how a daycare day actually runs — not a generic feature list.
Problem: sessions filled past a safe number
Bookings & Session Capacity
Set a capacity per session or room, and TailPro stops taking bookings the moment it’s reached.
Outcome: Never overcrowd a session again, without watching the calendar all day.
Problem: no one’s sure who’s actually here right now
Daily Attendance & Check-In
Digital check-in and check-out give a live, accurate headcount for every session, all day.
Outcome: Know exactly who’s on-site at any moment — vital in an emergency, and every ordinary day too.
Problem: temperament and care details live in one person’s head
Pet Profiles & Care Notes
Temperament, allergies, feeding instructions and handling notes stored on every pet’s profile.
Outcome: Any staff member can supervise any dog safely, even on a day they’re not usually rostered.
Problem: unclear who’s watching which room today
Staff Coordination
Assign staff to rooms and sessions in advance, with task lists the whole team can see.
Outcome: Supervision ratios stay correct, and mornings start organised instead of improvised.
Problem: a stream of "how’s my dog doing?" messages
Customer Communication
Automated check-in confirmations, reminders and photo updates keep owners informed without interrupting your day.
Outcome: Fewer WhatsApp interruptions, and owners who feel reassured anyway.
Problem: chasing payment for ad-hoc, casual sessions
Payments & Invoicing
Take payment at booking, invoice automatically, and accept card payments without manual reconciliation.
Outcome: Predictable income and far less time spent chasing casual bookings.
Problem: no easy way to sell multi-day attendance
Packages & Add-ons
Sell prepaid session packages and credit bundles, plus optional add-ons like extra playtime or grooming top-ups.
Outcome: More loyal, repeat attendance and higher average booking value.
Problem: no visibility into your busiest and quietest days
Utilisation & Reporting
See attendance and revenue by session and day, so staffing and pricing decisions are based on real demand.
Outcome: Fill quiet sessions and staff busy ones properly, instead of guessing both.

How a session moves through TailPro
From booking to pickup — one system, start to finish.
Step 1
Book into a session
Owner books a session online, or you book for them — TailPro checks real capacity before confirming a spot.
Step 2
Check in at drop-off
A quick digital check-in confirms arrival and pulls up that pet’s care notes for whoever’s on shift.
Step 3
Track the session live
See real-time headcount and staff assignments per room, and send owners a photo update if you choose to.
Step 4
Check out & get paid
Check the dog out, close the session, and let TailPro handle invoicing or deduct a prepaid credit automatically.

From a daycare business running TailPro
Built around a real daycare floor, not a demo
“With daycare, it’s not just about whether we have a space — we need to know exactly which dogs are coming in on which days. Before TailPro, changing a regular booking could mean checking several messages and updating the diary manually. Now our bookings are much easier to keep on top of, and we can see the day ahead without having to piece it together ourselves.”
Tom, Owner — Daycare Business
We run dog daycare throughout the week, with regular clients booking recurring days alongside occasional bookings. Having a clear view of attendance and availability has made the day-to-day side of the business much more manageable.
Capacity limits that actually hold
Session capacity is enforced at the point of booking, not just displayed as a number someone has to remember to check.
Built for the drop-off rush
Check-in is designed to take seconds per dog, because daycare drop-off is the busiest, least patient moment of the day.
Know who is coming in
Get a clear view of scheduled daycare bookings rather than piecing attendance together from messages.
