Run a calmer business.
Petboard is the quietly powerful platform for catteries and kennels. Easy enough to set up in an evening, powerful enough to run the whole business.
Built here, supported here, sterling-first.
Your data lives in EU data centres, with EU subprocessors.
Set up your services, switch your booking page on, take a booking.
A calmer day, start to finish.
From the first kettle to lock-up — here's Petboard through an ordinary day, not a feature list.
The whole day, before the kettle's boiled.
Who's arriving, who's leaving, who's already in — one glance. No flicking back through a paper diary.
A note home. One less worried owner.
Snap a photo, add a line. It lands in the owner's own portal — so you get fewer "how's she doing?" texts.
A deposit lands. No awkward chase.
Deposits and bank payments go straight to your own GoCardless account — you never have the cash-at-pickup conversation again.
Lock up. You always know how you're doing.
Occupancy, revenue, your best customers — a glance on the way out, not a spreadsheet marathon come year end.
One place for the whole business.
No more juggling a diary, a card machine, a spreadsheet and a group chat. Here's the lot — grouped by the job it's doing.

Built by someone who watched a cattery run on paper.
The booking diary, the index cards, the Word-document invoices with the date typed over — I watched someone close to me do it all by hand. Petboard is the tool I wished I could hand them.
It's made by Freaky Turtle, a small UK company — so you talk to the same person about every part of it. Your money goes through your own GoCardless account, your data lives in EU data centres, and the support replies come from a person.
Got a question?
Once you're a customer, support lives inside the app — keep an eye on the help icon. If you're not yet, drop us a line and we'll get back to you the same business day.
Real humans, same business day Mon–Fri. Send screenshots, send context, ask anything.
The next calm Friday
starts here.
Set up your services, switch on your booking page, and let the spreadsheet panic slowly evaporate.
