Hello Sniff
Hello Sniff for dog daycare

Hello Sniff dog daycare software for busy days.

Staff see the day, dog parents book and pay, and your brand stays in front from setup to pickup.

14-day trial · No credit card required · Setup in about 30 minutes

One busy day, two audiences

The floor needs one view. Dog parents need their own.

Daycare software breaks when every update becomes a phone call, spreadsheet edit, payment chase, or group text. Hello Sniff keeps staff work and parent self-service moving in the same branded system.

Product story

One system for the floor and the families.

Hello Sniff is built around the real handoff in a dog daycare: staff need operational clarity, and dog parents need self-service that still feels personal.

1

Staff operations

Know who is here, who needs attention, and what happens next.

Check-ins, room moves, pickup notes, staff tasks, and daily counts stay visible without a second spreadsheet.

2

Parent portal

Give families the branded place to book, pay, message, and update dogs.

Dog parents can handle routine work from their phone while your staff keeps running the room.

3

Your brand

Set your logo, colors, services, documents, and payments once.

The customer experience feels like your daycare, not a generic vendor portal.

Built for repeat action

Front desk, floor team, and dog parents keep moving from the same source of truth.

Product proof

Staff portal and parent portal, designed as one operating loop.

The homepage story now shows both sides of the product: the staff system that keeps the day organized and the customer portal that reduces calls before pickup.

Staff operations

Run the day from one calm floor view.

Front desk and floor staff can see arrivals, room capacity, pickup notes, and payments without jumping between tools.

  • Daily dog roster, room counts, and attendance state
  • Pickup notes and staff tasks visible before they become calls
  • Billing context close to the appointment, not buried elsewhere

Customer portal

Give dog parents a portal they can actually use.

Families book, pay, message, and keep dog records current from a branded portal instead of calling the front desk for every routine task.

  • Self-service bookings, invoice payments, and family messages
  • Dog profiles, vaccination records, and shared documents
  • A parent experience that keeps your daycare logo and colors in front

Why Hello Sniff

Built from the pressure of a real daycare day.

Built by a daycare owner, for daycare owners.

We ran a dog daycare. The software options were either expensive and clunky, or did not fit the way staff and dog parents actually work. So we built what we wished we had: a modern operating system for the floor, the front desk, and the family portal.

Common questions

How long does setup take?
Most daycares are fully set up in under 30 minutes. Add your branding, configure services, and invite your team — no technical skills required.
Do I need a credit card to start the trial?
No. Your 14-day trial starts with full access to every feature. No credit card required, no commitment.
Can my customers actually use the portal?
Yes — your dog parents get their own login where they can book appointments, view and pay invoices, message your team, and manage their dogs’ profiles.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export all your data at any time. If you cancel, your data is retained for 60 days before deletion.
