Reservations live in a paper book or Google Calendar. Half the time the front desk forgets to charge for the boarding nights. Owner discovers it at month-end and shrugs.
RosaVet for Boarding & Grooming
Boarding and grooming,in the same record as the chart.
Reservations, daily kennel logs, grooming bookings and per-day charges sit next to the medical record, included in every plan at no extra cost.
Reservations · daily kennel logs · grooming bookings · per-day auto-charges · all built in.
The honest truth
Your boarding revenue is hidingin spreadsheets, sticky notes, and three different apps.
Kennel staff write logs on a clipboard. Then somebody types them in. Then they get lost. Owner asks "did Bella eat yesterday?" — nobody knows.
Grooming bookings sit in yet another system. The groomer's calendar app doesn't talk to your practice software. Vaccine status doesn't sync. The cash drawer doesn't reconcile.
Per-day charges are manual. Boarding for 7 days at $35 a night plus a bath and nail trim. Front desk does the math on a Post-it. Sometimes wrong. Always slow.
Boarding charges nobody entered are revenue you never see. One record from booking to checkout closes the gap.
How RosaVet handles it
One record.From booking to checkout. Nothing falls through.
Reservations that talk to the medical record
Book from a kennel floor plan that shows what's free, and move stays around a drag-and-drop calendar. Every reservation carries your practice's required-vaccine list for that species, so the front desk confirms rabies and Bordetella at check-in instead of hunting through the chart.
Daily kennel logs on iPad
Meals, walks, medications given and weight checks. Tap-and-go and time-stamped, on the same record as the medical chart.
Grooming inside the same chart
Bath, nail trim, full groom, anal gland expression — all bookable, all tracked, all auto-billed. Groomer notes sync to the patient record. No separate software.
Per-day auto-charges
Boarding nights post to the bill every night, and the add-ons staff approve during the stay — a bath, an extra walk, a medication dose — post at checkout at the price they approved. Checkout totals the stay and opens the payment screen. Math is never wrong. Coming later: day-care days, a daily meds fee and special-diet upcharges, billed automatically.
Vaccine requirements on every reservation
Set what each species needs — rabies, Bordetella, DHPP — and the requirement list rides the reservation through to check-in, where your team confirms it. Your call whether to board; the record of what you asked for is right there.

The AI in RosaVet, area by area

A typical 7-day boarding stay
"Mrs. Henderson dropping off Bella"to "see you next time."
Booking, 6 PM Tuesday
Mrs. Henderson books the stay herself in your client portal. The reservation lands with your dog requirements attached — rabies, Bordetella, DHPP — so whoever works the drop-off knows exactly what to confirm before Bella goes back.
Vaccine update, Saturday morning
Bella's Bordetella is 18 months old, so Mrs. Henderson brings her in for the booster first. The DVM administers and signs off with a voice SOAP, and it's on the chart before the reservation comes up Monday.
Drop-off, Monday 8 AM
Front desk pulls up Bella's reservation. Special diet (sensitive stomach kibble), one daily medication (Apoquel), preferred kennel block (quieter west-side runs). All pre-loaded. Three-second check-in.
Daily kennel logs, every day
Tech taps in: ate full breakfast, two walks, Apoquel given 8:15 AM. Time-stamped and on the record.
Mid-stay grooming, Thursday
Pre-booked bath + nail trim. Groomer pulls Bella, completes service, taps in notes ("matted ear feathers, recommend regular grooming"). The groom bills on its own visit as soon as it's marked done (putting it on the stay's bill is coming later).
Pickup, Sunday 4 PM
Front desk taps "checkout." RosaVet totals 7 nights at $35 ($245) plus any add-ons staff approved, and opens the payment screen. Mrs. Henderson taps her card, the front desk emails her receipt with one tap, and Bella's stay report card is waiting in her client portal. Coming later: a daily meds fee on the stay's bill and a discharge summary written to the chart.
Three days later
RosaVet sends a follow-up email, once you set it up in Settings › Boarding care — "How was Bella's stay? Book your next reservation." Mrs. Henderson clicks, the portal opens with Bella and a boarding stay already picked, and she books Christmas week.
Real questions we've heard.
Does the boarding module cost extra?
No. Every RosaVet subscription includes boarding and grooming at every tier. We don't gate features by price — solo doc and 25-DVM hospital both get every module.
Can my groomer use it without medical access?
Yes. RosaVet has 12 staff roles and you decide what each one sees — your groomer sees grooming bookings, the reservation's vaccine requirement list, and the patient's name and breed. They don't see medical records or financial data unless you grant it.
What if my kennel doesn't have iPads?
Anything with a browser works — old Android tablets ($80 used), refurbished iPads, even a wall-mounted laptop in the kennel. The kennel screen is built for tablets.
Can I migrate boarding history from my current system?
Yes. Free self-serve migration from AviMark, Cornerstone, or any system that exports a spreadsheet — upload your export and map the columns. Want us to run it for you? White-glove migration is $499 flat, one-time (non-refundable, covers the labor). Want us there in person? On-site install and training is two days at your clinic, $4,500 plus travel.
What about overnight emergency boarding?
A pet checked in while your clinic is closed (by the opening hours and closures you set in Settings › Schedule) is flagged After hours, and the after-hours fee you set is added to that stay automatically, once. Nights still bill at your nightly rate, and if a boarder gets sick, Convert to admission moves them to the hospital board.
