Business name & logo
Shown throughout the app — the sidebar, waiver, invoices, and daily sheets.
Square images work best. Replaces the logo in the sidebar and on invoices.
Theme
Pick a ready-made palette for the whole app. Signature themes add a few restrained design details too — never different data or workflow. Change it anytime.
Daily Rundown colours
One colour per section, for the theme you have selected. Text colour is chosen for you so it stays readable — if a colour cannot carry either black or white text, you will see a warning.

Data Health Check

Scans for orphaned, inconsistent, or duplicate records so they're easy to find and fix.
Dogs without a matching client 0
These dogs' family names don't match any client on file — usually a leftover from the original import. Click Edit to correct or delete.
Clients with no dogs on file 0
May simply be a new client. This is informational unless you expected a dog to be attached.
Possible duplicate families 0
Names close enough they might be the same family typed two different ways — like "&" vs "and". Merge combines both into one, moving all their dogs together.

Import from Calendar

Bring in reservations from a Google Calendar export
Step 1 — export your calendar
In Google Calendar: Settings (gear icon) → Settings → find your calendar on the left → Export calendar. That downloads a .zip file — unzip it, and you'll have an .ics file. Upload that file below.

Import from Spreadsheet

Bring in your client and dog list from Excel or a CSV
Step 1 — get your data into the right format
Download the template below, then copy your family and dog info into it — one row per dog. If a family has 2 dogs, that's 2 rows; just repeat the family's info on both (or leave it blank on the second row, either works). Save it and upload it here.
