MoeGo lets you create boarding and daycare appointments directly from the calendar, lodgings view, or the quick-add button. This article walks through the full manual booking flow.

For pet parents booking online for boarding & daycare services, see Online booking for boarding & daycare. πŸ‘ˆ

Create an appointment

Step 1: Open a new appointment

There are three ways to start a new booking:

  • From the + button: Click the + button at the top of any screen.

  • From the calendar: Navigate to Calendar, select the date, and click on an open time slot.

  • From the lodgings view: Navigate to Calendar > Lodgings, find an available room, and click to book directly from that slot.

Step 2: Select client, pet, and service type

  1. Search for the client by name or phone number. Select the correct client and pet.

  2. Select the service type: Choose Boarding or Daycare.

πŸ“ Note: If the selected service requires an evaluation and the pet has not completed one, you will be prompted to schedule an evaluation appointment first before proceeding.

Step 3: Fill in service details

Fill in the appointment details based on the service type selected:

Step 4: (Optional) Add a grooming service

You can add a grooming service to a boarding or daycare booking for clients who want a combined care package.

  1. In the appointment form, click Add service.

  2. Select the grooming service from the menu.

⚠️ Important: You cannot add a boarding or daycare service from within a grooming appointment. Always start from the boarding or daycare booking if you want to combine services.

Step 5: Confirm the appointment

Review the details and click Confirm to save the appointment. It will appear in the calendar and lodgings view.

Daycare quick check-in

For walk-in daycare clients, use quick check-in to skip the full booking flow and get them checked in faster.

  1. Click Daycare quick check-in at the top of the calendar.

  2. Select the pet and daycare service.

  3. Confirm to check the pet in immediately.

πŸ“ Note: Quick check-in is for daycare services only. The order of services shown follows the order in your service menu. To reorder: Settings > Service > Daycare.

For walk-in daycare clients, see Daycare quick check-in πŸ‘ˆ
