Animal-care software, built by the people who actually use it.
Pup Pad runs the whole back office for a hands-on animal-care business — clients, animals, vaccines, appointments, invoices, even the intake paperwork. No app stores, no software bloat, no learning curve. Built by a trainer who got tired of running her business on spreadsheets at 11 PM.
Used every single day by Katie B's Pup Pad in Hudson, FL — her, her staff, and our development partners. Now opening to a small group of other businesses.
Installable app · Push notifications
The real Pup Pad dashboard — used every day at Katie B's Pup Pad.
Everything in one place
The whole back office — without the bloat.
Six things that take you from a notebook + Venmo + 17 group texts to one tidy dashboard your clients also love.
Clients & pets, all in one place
Owners, dogs, vet contacts, emergency contacts, feeding instructions, behavior notes. Searchable, sortable, and never lost in a notebook again.
Vaccines that actually expire
Track Rabies, DHPPT, Bordetella, and anything else. Get an alert before a pup shows up with a lapsed shot.
Appointments that fit your day
Boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, grooming. Per-pet pricing. Stay notes. Multi-dog discounts.
Invoices in two taps
Mark a check-out, the system drafts the invoice. Add tips, accept cash/card/Zelle/Venmo, send a receipt.
Intake forms that don't suck
Public intake page on your marketing site flows directly into a pending-approval queue. Includes signed agreement with audit trail.
Photo updates clients love
Upload daily photo updates from your phone. Clients see them inside their own login. No social-media middleman.
Install it like an app
Add Pup Pad to your home screen on any phone, tablet, or computer — no app store. Get push notifications for new bookings and more, and keep working when the WiFi gets spotty.
No per-seat fees. No per-text charges. No surprises.
The other guys start cheap, then bill you $15 a month per staff login and pennies per text message. The price you see on our page is the price you pay. Add your whole team for free.
Salon · Mobile · In-home
Made for groomers — including the van.
Whether you run a salon, a mobile rig, or groom out of your home, Pup Pad handles the booking, the intake, the photos clients love, and the money — without the per-text SMS bills and per-seat fees the big grooming apps charge.
Not just dogs
Now for farms, ranches & dairy too.
The same simple records that track a boarding dog work just as well for a herd. Switch Pup Pad into livestock modeand “pets” become “animals” — cows, sheep, goats, horses — with the same vaccine, health, and document tracking you'd expect, built for how a farm actually runs.
- Track herds and individual animals — vaccines, treatments, weights, and notes
- Dairy production logs for cow, sheep, and goat milk
- Breeding & lineage records, head counts, and document storage
- Vaccine and medication reminders so nothing slips

Honest disclaimer
Not great for
We'd rather tell you up front than waste your trial.
- 50-location enterprise chains needing franchise tooling — not yet
- Vet clinics needing full medical/EHR workflows
Never used software for your business? That's most of who we talk to. Our 90-day trial includes a real onboarding call with a human — we'll walk you through it on your kitchen table, at whatever pace works.
Why this exists
I've trained dogs for 22 years and managed busy dog-care programs before building my own home-based boarding business. Existing "pet-business software" was built for chains — clunky, full of features I'd never use, and slow on the only device I actually use during the day: my phone. So my partner built me one. Today it runs Katie B's Pup Pad — me, my staff, and the dogs in my care — every single day.
It worked so well we're opening it up by invitation — to other groomers, boarders, daycares, and even the farms and dairies down the road. We bring businesses on in small batches so each one gets real attention. You try it risk-free for 90 days — a one-month setup fee up front, refunded in full if it's not for you. No spam.
Your data stays yours
Daily backups, point-in-time recovery, audit logs on every action. We don't mine, resell, or share your client list. Ever.
