DogDaycareManager vs Gingr

Gingr prices checked November 2026, from Gingr’s pricing page. Plans change, so confirm on their site before you decide.

Gingr is a full management suite for groomers, daycares and boarding kennels. DogDaycareManager is a smaller tool for the front desk: who is coming in today, who is in the building, and whose shots are current. If you want everything in one system, Gingr is built for that. If you want a simple board at a low flat price, read on.

Price

What DogDaycareManager does

• A Today board with Expected, In and Gone home, built for drop-off.
• Dog and owner records with feeding, meds, behavior and vet notes.
• Vaccine expiry flags, with reminder emails to owners 30 days before and on the expiry date once email is turned on.
• A booking request link for pet parents. You confirm or decline.
• Staff invite links, with no per-staff charge, and a CSV export of your data.

What we skip, on purpose

• Payments. We do not take deposits or cards. You keep using the card reader you already have, and you have no card fees or chargebacks coming through us. Gingr offers integrated payments.
• A customer portal. Pet parents fill in a booking request and get emails. They do not log in to an owner account or app. Gingr has a customer portal.
• Text reminders. Reminders are email only today.
• Training-session scheduling. Not included.

Who should pick which

Pick Gingr if you need payments, a customer portal and a wider feature set, and the price fits your business. Pick DogDaycareManager if a paper sheet or spreadsheet is what you use now and you want a board and shot tracking without a big monthly bill. You can try it free with up to 10 dogs and export everything as a CSV if you leave.
