What it does
Running a pet boarding business means tracking dates, units, pets and extra services, often by phone or email. This theme moves that work onto your website. Pet owners can browse your accommodations, check availability and book a stay online, while the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin handles calendars, rates and confirmation emails in the background. You can list any kind of unit you offer, such as dog kennels, catteries, terrariums or birdcages, each with its own description, photos and prices.
Pages are built with the WordPress block editor, and the Getwid blocks plugin adds ready-made pieces such as image sliders, pricing tables, testimonials, banners and Instagram galleries. No coding is needed to put together a home page, a services page or an accommodation listing. The layout is responsive, so visitors on phones and tablets can book as easily as on a desktop. If you need more later, optional extensions add things like PDF invoices, Mailchimp integration, WooCommerce payment gateways and multi-currency support.
