Your kennel. One WhatsApp message away.
Your daily updates, bookings, availability, and business information, all in WhatsApp.
Running a kennel or cattery means keeping track of a lot. Who's arriving today? Who's checking out? How full are you next weekend? Who still owes you money?
With The Kennel Manager's WhatsApp Assistant, you don't need to log in and search through your bookings every time you want an answer.
Just open WhatsApp and ask.
Included with every plan.
Start every morning knowing what's happening
Each morning, your WhatsApp Assistant sends you a quick update about the day ahead. You'll see:
- Today's check-ins how many pets are arriving.
- Today's check-outs how many are leaving.
- Tonight's occupancy how many of your kennels, runs, or other accommodation units are booked.
It's a simple snapshot of your business, delivered directly to your phone. No need to log in, open reports, or count bookings.
Have a question? Just ask.
Your WhatsApp Assistant can do much more than send daily updates.
You can ask questions about your customers, bookings, availability, payments, cancellations, and business performance, in ordinary English.
No complicated reports. No special commands. Just ask what you want to know.
Planning your day
- Who is left to check in today?
- Who is checking out tomorrow?
- How full are we tonight?
- How many dogs are arriving this weekend?
Checking availability
- How full am I on the 25th?
- Could I book two dogs sharing into a large kennel on the 18th?
- How many kennels are available next Friday?

Keeping on top of money
- Who owes me money more than 7 days after checkout?

- How much money is outstanding?
- Which customers have overdue balances?
Understanding your customers
- Who cancelled in the last 14 days?

Your assistant looks up the information in your own business data and responds right there in WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set up the WhatsApp Assistant?
It's simple. Connect your WhatsApp number to The Kennel Manager and follow the setup instructions. Once connected, you'll receive your morning updates and can start asking questions in the same conversation.
Can I turn it off?
Absolutely. You're in control. You can pause or disable your WhatsApp Assistant if you no longer want to receive updates.
Why did you build this in WhatsApp?
Because you're probably already using WhatsApp every day.
Kennel and cattery owners spend plenty of time answering customer questions, coordinating arrivals, and dealing with everyday business matters on their phones.
We wanted to make it easier to get the information you need without having to switch apps or sit down at a computer.
Your business information should be available wherever you are, whether you're in the office, walking the dogs, or working out in the kennels.
Can anyone else see my business data?
No. Your assistant is restricted to your own business and its data.
It cannot access another kennel's bookings, customers, payments, or other private information.
Don't believe us? Try asking it about another business. You'll get nowhere!
What kind of questions can I ask?
Anything your assistant supports about your bookings, customers, availability, occupancy, payments, or business performance.
You don't have to learn special commands or use precise wording. Ask questions naturally, just as you would ask a member of your team.
For example:
- “Who's still to arrive today?”
- “Do I have space for two dogs next Thursday?”
- “Who owes me money?”
- “How much did we make last week?”
- “Which customers cancelled recently?”
The more you use it, the more useful you'll find it.
Do I need to install another app?
No. If you already use WhatsApp, you've got what you need.
Does the assistant make changes to my bookings?
The assistant is designed to help you find information and get answers. It doesn't create, cancel, or modify bookings for you.
Less searching. More time for the animals.
You started a kennel or cattery business to look after animals, not to spend your day searching through software.
The WhatsApp Assistant brings the information you need straight to you, each morning and whenever a question comes up.
Your business. Your data. Your answers. Right in WhatsApp.
