Dog profiles with temperament assessment + play-group assignment (small dogs, big dogs, seniors, puppies). Temperament-based compatibility checks. Check-in/out with photo log. Daily report cards ('played 2 hrs, napped 45 min, had accident, played well with Rocky'). Recurring packages via Stripe. Distinct from petboarding — this is daytime-only.
Each dog: breed, age, weight, neutered, vax records, allergies, meds, feeding, temperament (confident / shy / reactive / high-prey). Required vaccines verified before first visit.
Small dogs (<25lb), medium (25-50lb), large (50lb+), seniors, puppies. Staff assigns each dog to appropriate group. Incompatibility flags (dog-aggressive, resource-guarder) prevent mixing.
Photo at drop-off (documented intake condition). Parent signs + confirms emergency contact. Staff scan at pickup; authorized-pickup check. Audit log every in/out.
Staff-tap during the day: played 2hrs, napped 45min, had accident, played well with Rocky. Compiles into a report card parents love reading at pickup.
10-day packs, monthly unlimited, drop-in. Stripe auto-pay for monthly. Family discount for multi-dog. Per-dog package balance.
Flask + SQLAlchemy. Dog + parent records stay on daycare server. Not a nationwide-daycare-SaaS data pipeline.
