Daily Limits vs. Resource Capacity

Most competitors don't understand facility management. Petboost does.

Competitor Approach

Daily limits only

  • "20 appointments per day max"
  • No understanding of individual play areas or stations
  • Could book 20 small dogs into a 6-dog capacity area
  • Manual counting required to stay compliant

Petboost Approach

Per-resource capacity

  • Individual limits per play area, station, kennel, van
  • Booking engine checks all required resources
  • Automatic compliance with safety regulations
  • Real-time visibility of all resource status

Capacity Management for Every Industry

Different businesses have different resources. Petboost handles them all.

Dog Daycare

Small Dog Play Area6 dogs max
Large Dog Play Area8 dogs max
Quiet Room4 dogs max

Safety regulations mandate capacity per play area, not just daily total

Dog Grooming

Grooming Station 11 pet
Grooming Station 21 pet
Bath Station1 pet

Multiple stations need individual capacity tracking for utilisation

Dog Walking

Van A6 dogs
Van B4 dogs
Walker (on foot)3 dogs

Van capacity varies by vehicle. Booking system respects limits automatically.

Pet Boarding

Small Kennel1-2 pets
Large Kennel2-4 pets
Suite1 pet family

Kennel size determines capacity. Larger dogs need larger kennels.

Don't just take our word for it

I am very excited and glad I went with them, the pricing structure makes sense and they are working very hard to make this the number one pet booking system in Australia. The customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients.

Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually.

Just try it – you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'.
