My new admin system for Pet Business owners...

Spending more time on spreadsheets than with the dogs? 🐾

You didn't start a pet business to live in your inbox. But somewhere between chasing deposits, juggling two diaries and typing up another invoice at 9pm, the admin took over.

Pawtal HQ puts the whole lot back in one tidy place.

Bookings, capacity-aware calendars, customer & pet records, automatic pricing and beautiful branded invoices — all working together, so you can shut the laptop and pick up the lead.

✅ Unlimited bookings & staff — your price never grows as you do

✅ Branded PDF invoices with your logo and bank details

✅ Boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, pet taxi & equine — all six, one app

✅ Built by a working pet-business owner (me), not a boardroom

One flat £149/year. No monthly fees. No per-staff charges. That's under £3 a week — most pet software costs that every few months.

Try it free — your first 5 bookings are on us, no card needed.

I've been busy on several projects recently, one of which I will post about shortly and another is the redesign of the Paw Power website.

It's a bit less playful than the previous site but the design is tighter and a tad more pro (I hope).

Hope you like it. If your dog(s) do not appear on the site, it is not out of a lack of favouritism, we only have space for so many dogs so I picked owners whom had previously given permission as well as a couple of random choices. We love all of our boarders and they are ALL our favourites!!!

You may be asking, "where have you been-o?"
Well, you may not have seen-o, but since our last boarder, the time in-between-o has been spent with the adorable Beano!

This young chap has been delighting us with his presence for over a week and his boarding report from us scores A+ on every level! We've had some wonderful adventures, although some were in the pouring rain. That didn't bother our Beanybobs!!!

Considering his previous anxiety issues, Fran and I have never seen this little hero so happy although, when his hoomans came to pick him up, let's just say he was not going to let them go without him!

That's ok though. Seeing our boarders reunited with their 'properest' family is a very satisfying part of our job.

Thank you, Beano for an awesome stay. We hope to see you again soon. xx

What's golden brown and as beautiful as the moon?
Luna is, of course, and she came for an extended stay with us while her hoomans got married. Congratulations, Luna's hoomans!

However, Luna didn't miss out on all the fun. She and Uncle Phil had loads of frisbee, ball games and lovely walks. We even had cuddles during the frightening lightning and thunder so she felt safe throughout the night.

Do I need to say about her behaviour? Not really because it's always her bestest ever at all ever.

I think Luna has a soft spot for Frances too, especially at dinner time!!!

Anyway, Luna thank you for a wonderful week and a half and we look forward to your return. xx

It's been a while since I've posted...
That's because we've had Merlin casting his spells upon us for over two weeks. This gentle giant has a heart of gold and has been an absolute joy to hang out with. We had some lovely walks and many games of ball and frisbee!!!
Thank you, Merlin. We can't wait to see you again later in the year. xx

We actually have two short break periods left this summer:
23rd - 25th June
26th - 29th July

Message me (Phil) on FB or WhatsApp if you are interested.

As usual - first come, first served.

Good luck and thank you. x

You may have noticed the temperatures drop over last weekend which was, to say the least, a little disappointing after our recent taste of more summery climates.

Luckily for us, we had Molly and Benji over to cuddle us and keep us warm! While they were with us, they were both amazing company with behaviour that would make their hoomans very proud. I managed to achieve my trademark 'forgetting to take one of their Paw Power tags off' which their hoomans extremely kindly dropped off for me today.

Thank you Molly and Benji. We look forward to seeing you again soon. xx

Last week, my next door neighbour was asking me about who (which dog) was going to be boarding with us next. When I told him that it was Bertie, his response was 'again?!!! He might as well move in!!!'

I told him that I'd asked but his hoomans were having none of it! 😂😂😂

It is, of course, extremely humbling when people continue to use our services and we never take for granted the trust that they put in us.

Anyway, back to Bertie!!! Bertie had another awesome stay with us and we had plenty of frisbee fun in the recent spring sunshine. We also enjoyed the last two (of the classic era) Abba albums on half-speed cut vinyl to which Bertie gave his seal of approval. As ever, Bertie used his natural charm to cajole a few Marrolls biscuits from me but he's allowed so it's ok.

Although we enjoyed our adventures, my little buddy was beside himself when his hoomum came to pick him up. Another awesome stay, my friend and we can't wait to see you again - thank you. xx

Meet Willow!!!

Willow is a young lab who came to practice her boarding skills for when her hoomans get married. Not only is Willow absolutely gorgeous but she is VERY clever and she can do tricks and everything! She showed us her twirls and how she waits at the kerb until she has permission to cross.

As for her boarding skills, she scored an A+ from Paw Power so she can add yet another string to her bow.

We absolutely loved your visit, Willow, and can't wait until your 'big' stay. See you soon and thank you. xx

Remember Dash? Well, this distinguished old gentleman returned for another stay over with Uncle Phil and Aunty Fran at Paw Power. Dash's confidence has come on in leaps and bounds since his last visit. There's no change in his overall behaviour though which remains exemplary. What an absolute star and a real cutie!!!

We've both loved your visit, Dash and can't wait for your return. Thank you. xx
