How to make a website for a pet boarding

Before leaving a dog or cat with strangers for a week, owners want to see where the pet will sleep, who looks after it at night and what happens if it falls ill. A small website with real photos of your space answers those worries and brings them to your WhatsApp to check dates.

What people look for on a pet boarding website

• Real photos of the rooms, kennels or play area where pets stay, and where they sleep at night
• Whether you take dogs only, or cats and other pets too, and any size or breed limits
• The daily routine: walks, feeding times, play time and rest
• Which vaccinations and tick treatment you need to see before a stay
• Rates per day or night, and any extra charge for festival dates or special food
• Whether someone stays on the premises overnight, and which vet you go to in an emergency
• Drop-off and pick-up timings, and whether you offer pick-up from home

The pages your website needs

• Home: One line on who you board, a few photos of pets in your space, the area you serve and a WhatsApp button to check dates
• Our space: Photos of the sleeping area, play area and feeding corner, with how many pets you keep at a time and how dogs and cats are kept apart
• A day here: The routine from the morning walk to lights out, what food you give or whether the owner sends it, and how you send updates
• Rates and rules: Rates per night by size or type, festival-date rates, required vaccinations, what to pack and the drop-off and pick-up times
• Contact: Address, landmark, phone, WhatsApp, a Google Maps button and what to send before booking, such as the vaccination card

Sample words for your home page

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

1. Decide the pages. Most pet boarding websites need these pages: Home, Our space, A day here, Rates and rules, Contact.
2. Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
3. Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
4. Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
5. Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your pet boarding, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a pet boarding website

• Photograph the actual sleeping area at night with the lights on, not only the garden in daylight; owners worry most about night time.
• Ask owners before you post their pet's photo, and never show the owner's name or flat on the website.
• Say plainly how many pets you keep at a time and how you separate big dogs, small dogs and cats.
• List the vaccinations you ask for and say you will refuse a stay without the card; it reassures the other owners.
• Put festival and holiday rates on the page early, since Diwali and summer dates fill first.
• Add the boarding to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and link the website there.

What it costs

• Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
• Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
• Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
• Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

• Owners can't pick dates, upload the vaccination card or pay an advance on the website; they message you on WhatsApp or call. To keep track of which pets are staying, their food and medicine, and daily updates, a pet boarding app is the better fit.
• The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
• A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
• Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

What photos should a pet boarding website show?

Your own photos of where pets sleep, eat and play, with real pets you have boarded (with their owners' permission). Owners want to see the night-time space, not stock pictures of happy dogs.

Should I put my boarding rates on the website?

Yes, a rate per night for dogs and cats helps owners decide before they message. Mention extra charges for festival dates, medicines or special food so there are no surprises.

Can owners check if I have space on their dates?

They message you on WhatsApp from any page with their dates. The website has no booking calendar, so you reply with what is free.

Should the website say which vet I use?

Saying that you have a vet you go to in an emergency, and how far the clinic is, reassures owners. Share the vet's name only if the vet agrees.

How do I explain my vaccination rules?

List the vaccinations and tick treatment you need to see, and say the card is checked at drop-off. A rules section on the rates page keeps it in one place.

Will pet owners find my boarding on Google?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address and timings in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps owners find you on Maps.
