A dog reaches the door with missing evidence.
Readiness appears before check-in, with the reason and the profile action attached.
For staffed dog daycares
Built for the part of the day that booking software cannot see.
HoundBase is the staff’s live operating screen, not a public website and not another booking system. It shows who is safe to admit, what care is due, who owns the next action, where pressure is building and what the next shift needs to know.
Handover context, kept with the dogBuilt around operational pressure
Less chasing. Fewer “did anyone?” moments.
HoundBase is deliberately narrow: it strengthens the work that happens while dogs are in your care without demanding a wholesale software migration.
Medication and meals live in paper notes.
Timed care follows the dog onto the live shift and becomes a timestamped record.
Everyone saw the job, but nobody owned it.
One-off work carries a person, due time, priority and completion state.
The room gets busier than the rota.
Licensed capacity and today’s staffing combine into a visible operating limit.
The next shift has to reconstruct the day.
Attendance, care, welfare, incidents and open actions remain in one chronology.
One view for the shift
See exceptions before they become interruptions.
Today is organised around the next decision, not a wall of statistics. Staff can act in place and keep their context.

A practical fit
Keep the systems that already earn their place.
Run it beside your current stack
No requirement to move bookings, payments or customer communications before you can test the operational value.
Start with a real roster
CSV import brings core dog and owner records in; export keeps that roster portable.
Judge staff behaviour
The honest test is whether the team reaches for it during arrivals, care rounds and handover.
