New Website Allows Pet Owners To Book Kennels 24-7
PetBookings.com, a website that allows pet owners to book pet boarding reservations in real-time with instant confirmation, launched nationwide in mid-March.
Similar to Hotels.com, visitors to the site can search for openings at pet boarding facilities 24 hours a day, seven days a week by entering their city, desired check in and out dates and number of rooms needed. In addition to reservations, users can book additional services offered by their particular boarding facility.
Chris Tilson, president and CEO of PetBookings.com, said he launched the website first and foremost as a convenience for pet owners. These days, many travelers book their flights and hotels online. But, if they have a pet, travelers still have to call a kennel to make a reservation, said Tilson, who is also vice president of Arbor Lane Kennel in Indianapolis. PetBookings.com allows customers to book all their travel arrangements online at their convenience.
PetBookings.com beta launched in the spring of 2010 with 11 Indianapolis- area kennels. Now, Tilson is inviting boarding facilities across the United States to join.
PetBookings.com offers a number of benefits to participating kennels, Tilson said. Taking reservations 24-7 means less of a chance that a kennel will miss out on a new customer, who might need to book a reservation when the brickand- mortar facility is closed.
Also, the website provides kennels with the opportunity to upsell additional services, such as nature walks, grooming or play activities. About 75 percent of the website’s users end up booking services in addition to boarding, Tilson said.
“When it’s put in front of the customers in that menu format, they are selecting the additional options,” Tilson said.

Indianapolis — March 15, 2011—The new service, PetBookings.com, is allowing pet owners to go online and book boarding reservations in real-time with instant confirmation. With kennels having limited office hours and filling to capacity months in advance, online reservations are a much needed service for an industry slightly behind the times when it comes to technology. It is basically Hotels.com, but for pets! No such service like PetBookings.com has previously surfaced due to the unique details and intricacies involved in making pet boarding reservations. Differing rate structures, number and size of pets, and closed to arrival/departure dates are among the number of variables that contribute to the complexity of a single pet reservation. Although the behind the scenes programming and inner workings differ greatly, the look and navigation of PetBookings.com resembles the most popular online travel planning websites, such as Orbitz, Travelocity, and Expedia.
It has taken over a year and a half of development and programming in order to launch the website for use. Currently, there are 11 pet boarding facilities in the Indianapolis area that are taking real-time online reservations through PetBookings.com. Indianapolis has served as the beta testing ground, and the website is now ready to launch a national campaign. Next week, PetBookings.com will be targeting over 625 kennels nationwide and inviting them to join the network of online reservations.
PetBookings.com is the only website that offers this type of service and convenience. It is completely original and provides an outstanding service to pet owners and pet boarding facilities, alike. Pet owners can now synchronize and reserve every aspect of travel planning online, whether it is airfare, hotel, cruise, car rental…and now pet boarding!
