Here's how to book a stay, like boarding, an overnight stay, home sitting or daycare. A stay has a start and an end date and time, instead of a single time.
Book a stay
Tap Appts and choose the day the stay starts.
Tap the + button and choose Appointment. On iPad, the + is at the top of the list.
Choose the pets and tap Next.
If you have a team, choose who's doing it and tap Next.
Choose a boarding, overnight stay, home sitting or daycare service, and tap Next.
Add any add-ons, then tap Next.
Check the Start date & time. Tap End date & time, choose when the stay ends, and tap the ✓.
Tap Next, check the stay, and tap the ✓ to book it.
How a stay is priced
The price follows how the service is Billed, which you set on the service itself in Menu > Services:
Per day charges for every day the stay covers, counting the first and last day.
Per night charges for each night: the number of days minus one, and at least one.
Per service charges once for the whole stay.
Each extra pet adds its extra pet price for every day or night, and per day or per night add-ons are charged the same way. See How do I add a service?
Good to know
A stay is one appointment. It shows on every day it covers, and as a bar across those days in Week and Month view.
Turn on All day if the times don't matter.
A stay can repeat weekly, like a regular weekend stay. Turn on Repeat on the date screen. See How do I book a repeating appointment?
If a stay overlaps other appointments, you'll see a warning, but you can still book it.
You can't drag a stay to a new time in Day view. Open it and change the dates instead.
With When booked, one invoice covering the whole stay is created as you book it. With When started, it's created for the whole stay when you start it.
