Sound familiar?
The daily “have we got room?”
is wearing you out
Daycare bookings are a constant headcount, regulars plus casual days, and tracking it by phone is relentless.
-
01
The space you weren’t sure you had. “Can you take Max Thursday?” You think so, but you’ve got to count the Thursday regulars first, so it’s a guess, and a wrong guess means an overcrowded room.
-
02
The regulars you re-enter forever. The same dogs, the same days, typed in week after week, because there’s no way for them to just keep their spot.
-
03
The booking ping that never stops. Casual-day requests by text all day long, each one interrupting whatever you’re doing with a room full of dogs.
A real booking system keeps the count for you.
Clients see each day’s real spaces, regulars hold their spots automatically, and the pinging stops. Built around you, the daycare.
Spaces shown, booked, done
How a booking actually works
This is what taking a daycare booking looks like when your page does the counting.
-
Step one
They pick a day, or a regular pattern.
A one-off Thursday, or a standing Monday-Wednesday-Friday spot. Whatever suits the dog, laid out clearly on your own page.
-
Step two
They see that day’s real spaces.
Your regulars are already counted, so what’s left is genuinely what’s left. No overbooking, no guesswork, no rounding up.
-
Step three
They book or request the spot.
Casual days straight in if you allow it, recurring spots as a request you approve. Either way it lands in one place, not across three apps.
-
Step four
It’s confirmed.
They’re in, the day’s count updates, and you didn’t lift a finger. No re-typing, no double-entry, no doubt.
That’s the booking. Every day’s spaces clear, the room never overcrowded.
Open while the dogs are in
Your own booking page, taking bookings all day
You can’t stop and answer a booking text with twelve dogs to watch. Your booking page does it for you. Share one link and clients book their days or request a regular spot whenever they like, at your prices, for the days you’re open. The constant interruptions become tidy bookings that appear while you’re busy doing the actual job.
The count that runs itself
Every day’s real spaces, regulars included
Daycare capacity is a daily moving target, because your regulars already hold their usual days. The real question is never just “how many can I take?”, it’s “how many on Thursday, once the Thursday regulars are in?” Barclo answers it on the booking page itself.
Set your daily limit, and clients only ever see the spaces genuinely left on each day, with recurring dogs already accounted for. Casual bookings fill the gaps around your regulars without you doing a single sum, and the room never tips into overcrowded. It’s the same capacity engine that runs every Barclo booking, set to think in days and regulars.

Everything your booking needs
Built for how daycares really take bookings
Six things that turn the daily headcount into a single tidy flow.
Recurring spots
Regulars hold their days automatically
Set a dog’s standing Monday-Wednesday-Friday spot once and it keeps holding itself, week after week. The standing arrangements that fill your room, on autopilot.
Approve or instant
Casual days straight in, regulars by request
Let trusted clients book casual days instantly, hold recurring spots as requests you approve. Control without the back-and-forth.
Pause and resume
A regular away? Their spaces free up
When a regular’s on holiday, pause the booking and the day reopens those spaces for casual bookings. Resume when they’re back, their spot returns.
Reminders
Drop-off reminders cut the confusion
Booking confirmations land with the client straight after they book, and a reminder before drop-off means fewer no-shows and fewer “was that today?” messages.
One day-view
See exactly who’s in, every day
Today’s dogs, tomorrow’s dogs, the whole week, one clear day-by-day view, not scattered across DMs, texts and a paper diary.
