- ✗Could book 20 small dogs into a 6-dog capacity area
- ✗Manual counting required to stay compliant
Petboost Approach

- ✓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
Safety regulations mandate capacity per play area, not just daily total
Dog Grooming
Multiple stations need individual capacity tracking for utilisation
Dog Walking
Van capacity varies by vehicle. Booking system respects limits automatically.
Pet Boarding
Kennel size determines capacity. Larger dogs need larger kennels.
Complete Capacity Control
Everything you need to manage facility capacity, and nothing you don't.
Per-Resource Limits
Set different capacities for each resource. Small Dog Play Area: 6 dogs, Large Dog Area: 8 dogs, Grooming Station 1: 1 pet. Granular control.
Real-Time Tracking
Colour-coded timeline shows capacity status: green (available), yellow (filling up), red (at capacity). See availability at a glance.
Automatic Overbooking Prevention
Magic Schedule automatically respects capacity limits. Customers can only book when resources are available. No manual checking required.
Equipment & Station Tracking
Track grooming stations, crates, equipment individually. Grooming Station 1 can have different capacity than Station 2.
Vehicle Capacity
For mobile services: Van A holds 6 dogs, Van B holds 4 dogs. Booking prevents overbooking any vehicle automatically.
Utilisation Dashboards
See which resources are underutilised and when peak times occur. Optimise pricing and staffing based on real data.

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.”
Sacha
My Dogs Daycare, QLD
“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.”
Camille Hartnett
Trail Sniffers, NSW
“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'.”
