Our mission

Keep daycares focused on the dogs and give pet parents better insight into their dog's day.

Packroll was built on the floor of a working dog daycare, between drop-offs, potty breaks and play groups. Every screen is made for the person holding the leash: one hand, big buttons, nothing buried.

And everything a family wants to know about their pup lives in one place they can actually find.

What's different

Straight answers, no surprise bills

Prices on the page

Most daycare software makes you book a demo to learn the price. Ours is right here, setup fee included.

Two add-ons, both optional

Your pack covers running your daycare. Only two things are sold on the side: AI tools at $39 a month, and texting, since carriers charge for every text.

No markup on card payments

Your processor charges its usual fees, paid straight to them. Unlike a lot of other platforms, we don’t tack anything on.

Run at a real daycare

Our own team uses every screen, from drop-off to the last potty break. When you call, you’re talking to people who do the job.

Designed by a dog daycare, for dog daycare teams.

We still run our own daycare, so we’re always building what we need next, and every daycare on Packroll gets it too.

We also know the best product comes from listening to you and your team. That’s what we’re here for.

How it works

Follow a day at the daycare

Here's what Packroll does at each part of the day, which pack it comes in, and whether it's working today. We'd rather tell you straight than oversell.

  • Behavior and medical notes and keep-apart pups shown at check-in
  • Belongings go into a numbered cubby on the floor map
  • Health check with a staff checklist; “can’t stay” holds check-in and alerts managers

5Pick-up

One clear bill at pick-up

One check-out closes the whole stay. Families get an itemized bill they can follow, and late fees add themselves.

  • Itemized checkout: services by day, extras, packs, fees and tax
  • Cash, check or the card machine, with a printed receipt
  • Late pick-up fees apply on their own; a manager can take one off with a reason
  • Saved cards and online payments through your own processor In testing
  • Receipts by email, or by text with the texting package, remembered for next time In testing

Getting set up

Up and running in about two weeks

Setup is $299 one time per location. We do the heavy lifting, whether you're coming from another daycare platform, spreadsheets, or a little of both.

  1. 1Day 1

    Kickoff call

    Send us your logo, services, prices and policies, plus an export from your current platform or your spreadsheets.

  2. 2Days 2 to 5

    We move you over

    Families, pups, vaccines, bookings and packages come over, plus report cards and photos where your old system lets them out. We set up your floor map, team and settings too.

  3. 3Alongside

    Payments approved

    You open or connect your own card processor account. Approval time depends on the processor; we handle the hookup.

  4. 4Week 2

    Train and go live

    A training session for your team, a practice day, then go live with us on call through your first week.

How fast it goes depends mostly on how quickly your data export and your card processor's approval come through.

Our story

Built by a daycare, for daycares

Packroll didn't start in an office. It started at our own family-run dog daycare and boarding facility in Central Oregon, where we got tired of fighting our software.

So we built the tool we wished we had, and we run our own daycare on it. When you call us, you're talking to folks who've done drop-off at 7 AM too.

Good questions

What comes with each pack, and what costs extra?

Starter has the basics to run your daycare day to day, and Pro and Pack Leader add more on top. Support, updates, fixes and hosting come with every pack. Two things are sold on the side: AI tools at $39 a month, and texting from $29 a month, because carriers charge for every text.

What do In testing and Coming soon mean?

In testing means it’s built and being tested before families see it. Coming soon means it’s built or in progress but not switched on yet. Anything without a tag is live at our own daycare today. When something ships, it shows up in your pack at no extra cost.

Can you move us off the platform or spreadsheets we use now?

Yes, that’s part of setup. Whatever your current system can export, or the spreadsheets you keep, we map it over: families, pups, vaccines, bookings and packages, plus report cards and photos where your old system lets them out.

How long does setup take, and what does it cost?

About two weeks from kickoff to go-live for most daycares. Setup is $299 one time per location.

Are there fees on card payments?

Yes, your card processor charges its usual processing fees, and you pay those directly to them. Unlike a lot of other platforms, Packroll doesn’t tack on an extra fee or markup for taking payments.

Do you ever see our customers’ card numbers?

No. Cards are typed into your payment processor’s own secure fields. Packroll never sees or stores them.

Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and PC?

Yes. Staff and families can use Packroll on phones, tablets and computers. Phones get the simple version of every screen, and the full toolbox lives on the computer.

Is there a contract?

No. It’s month to month, and you can cancel any time.

Is our data kept separate from other daycares?

Yes. Each daycare’s data is encrypted and walled off from every other daycare.
