Built for kennels, boarding facilities and pet sitters
Pet Boarding Waiver Software for Kennels and Pet Sitters
SignSend lets a boarding kennel, dog daycare or pet sitter send its own boarding agreement, vaccination terms and emergency care authorization for electronic signature, and get them back signed before the pet arrives. Upload the forms you already use, add the owner, and they sign from their phone with a dated record you can open if a dispute ever comes up. One flat rate, so a full holiday week costs the same as a quiet one.
Try one document to see it work, then $49 a month or $288 a year billed yearly for up to 3 people.

SignSend is pet boarding waiver software for kennels and sitters who want a signed, dated agreement on file for every pet before the first night. Upload your boarding agreement once, send it to the owner by text or email, and each person signs on their phone in under a minute. The finished PDF is stored with the time, the signer and the IP address, so you can find it later by owner name.
It costs $49 a month on Pro ($288 a year billed yearly) for up to 3 people, with no charge per form. Holiday weeks, when forty owners all book in the same few days, cost the same as February.
Can a kennel or pet sitter use electronic signatures on a boarding agreement?
Yes. Electronic signatures are valid for boarding agreements and care authorizations under the ESIGN Act and UETA, as long as the owner intends to sign, agrees to do it electronically, and you keep the signed record. The signed PDF and its audit trail show who signed, when, and from what address.
A signed form does not make every liability claim go away. Whether it holds up depends on your state's law and your wording, so have your attorney or insurer approve the form you upload. SignSend delivers and records the signature. It does not write or review your legal terms, and it does not check who the signer is beyond the link you sent.
What should a pet boarding waiver cover?
Most facilities start with the owner's contact details, an emergency contact, the pet's age, breed and health conditions, and proof of current rabies, distemper and kennel cough vaccination. Then come medications and feeding instructions, and any history of biting, escaping or separation anxiety.
The business terms follow: authorization to seek emergency veterinary care at the owner's cost, the right to separate, muzzle or refuse a pet, check-in and pickup times, a late pickup and abandonment clause, deposit and cancellation rules, and a photo release if you post updates. Put them in one PDF in your own words and upload it.
How much does pet boarding waiver software cost?
SignSend Pro is $49 a month, or $288 a year billed yearly, for up to 3 people sending unlimited documents. Business is $99 a month or $588 a year billed yearly for up to 10 people. You can send one document free to see how it works before you pay.
Because nothing is billed per form, the price does not move with your occupancy. A kennel that signs 200 agreements in December pays the same as one that signs 30 in March.
Everything a boarding business needs to get an owner signed
Built around how a kennel takes bookings, from the first call to the pickup.
Send it with the booking confirmation
Text or email the signing link when the reservation is made. The owner reads the agreement at home and arrives cleared, so check-in takes a minute instead of a clipboard and a pen that does not work.
Your own agreement wording
Upload the PDF your kennel and insurer already approved, up to 20MB. SignSend sends it as written and adds the signature block.
A dated record per pet
Every signed form carries the owner's name, the time and the IP address. If someone disputes a vet bill or a late pickup fee, you open the signed copy instead of searching a filing cabinet.
Works for sitters who travel
A home sitter has no front desk. Send the link from your phone after the first conversation and the owner signs before you ever pick up a key.
One flat rate
Pro is $49 a month for up to 3 people and unlimited documents. A peak holiday season does not raise the bill.
Reminders for slow signers
If an owner has not signed the day before drop-off, send a reminder from the same screen instead of finding out at the door.
How to get a pet boarding waiver signed
From a texted link to a signed, dated PDF in a few minutes.
01
Upload your boarding agreement
Drag in your agreement, vaccination terms and emergency care authorization as a PDF, up to 20MB. Use the form your kennel and insurer already approved.
02
Add the owner
Enter the owner's name and mobile number or email. Send it to one person, or to a list of holiday bookings.
03
The owner signs on their phone
They tap the link, read the form, and sign with a finger. No app, no account.
04
Keep the signed copy
The finished PDF with its audit trail lands in your document list, ready to search by owner or date.
SignSend vs paper forms and kennel management software
A focused signing tool, not another system to move your whole business into.
| What you are comparing | SignSend | Paper and kennel suites |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | One free document, then $49/mo flat Pro | Paper is cheap per sheet; suites usually bill monthly per facility |
| What it is | Document signing with an audit trail | Suites add reservations, vaccine tracking, payments and pet records |
| Your own agreement wording | Yes, upload any PDF | Paper yes; suites often use their own form builder |
| Finding a pet's agreement later | Search your document list | A filing cabinet, or the suite's client record |
| Signed before arrival | Yes, from a link | No for paper; depends on the suite |
| Per-form fees | None | Varies by product |
| Where a suite wins | It does not take reservations or payments | If you want booking, vaccine records and payments in one system, a suite does that and SignSend does not |

Who uses SignSend in a pet boarding business
Boarding kennels
Send the agreement with the reservation so every dog is cleared before the owner pulls into the lot, and the front desk stays on the phones.
Dog daycare with overnight stays
Pair the daycare enrollment with the boarding terms in one PDF so a single signature covers both services.
Home pet sitters and dog walkers
Text the service agreement and key access terms after the first call. The owner signs before the first visit and you keep the record.
Boarding facilities with several staff
Each manager sends their own forms from one shared plan, with every signed copy kept in one searchable list.
