Configure rooms and availability

Add or edit a room

1. Open Rooms & Kennels and select Add Room, or open an existing row to edit it.
2. Enter a Name and Capacity. Choose Unlimited capacity only when animal count should never block the room.
3. Choose at least one Allowed species. Select every accepted species when the room can host all of them.
4. Set Available for reservations, add an optional description or photo, and save. Configure room surcharges separately under Pricing.

Active and inactive rooms

An inactive room remains visible in Rooms & Kennels and on existing records, but it is unavailable for new room assignments. An existing reservation that already uses it can still be edited and displays an inactive-room warning.

Drag room rows to change their priority. This order also controls the row order in the Calendar Timeline.

How availability is checked

• The reservation room picker checks the selected dates and animals.
• A room is blocked when another active stay overlaps the date range.
• Capacity is checked against the animals assigned to each room, including split multi-room reservations.
• Every assigned animal must match the room's Allowed species.
• The reservation is also rejected when a selected animal has a daycare session during the stay.

Check before assigning

Use Check available rooms from Stays for a quick date-range check. When creating or editing a reservation, the room picker performs the complete check with the selected animals and shows why a choice is unavailable.
