Common questions
Before you put it
on the phone.
Can PawStaff book dog daycare visits?
When your scheduling system and approved rules support it, PawStaff can complete a booking step for an eligible dog. For a new dog or anything requiring review, it captures a qualified request and the next step your team has approved.
What can it collect from a first-time daycare caller?
You choose the intake. Common details include owner and dog names, age, size, vaccination-record status, spay or neuter status if relevant to your policy, daycare history, play style, behavior or health flags, preferred days, and contact details.
Can it decide whether a dog is suitable for group play?
No. PawStaff can explain your evaluation process and collect background information, but your trained team makes temperament, compatibility, grouping, and admission decisions.
What happens when a daycare day is full?
PawStaff can follow your rules by offering approved alternatives, collecting flexible dates, adding a caller to a supported waitlist, or creating a structured callback request. It will not promise capacity it cannot verify.
Can it help with cancellations and recurring bookings?
Yes. It can capture cancellation or schedule-change requests, explain approved policies, and support reminders or rebooking follow-ups. Fees, exceptions, credits, and disputed charges stay with your team unless your rules explicitly cover them.
Does PawStaff replace our daycare software?
No. Your daycare system remains the source of truth for eligibility, capacity, attendance, records, payments, and the live roster. PawStaff handles the phone workflow around it.
