Success Story

How Gingr Transformed Animal People Dog Boarding

Animal People Dog Boarding & Day Care is a recently rebranded dog boarding and daycare facility run by Aaron Babaa and his wife Ashley in Charlotte, NC. They purchased the business in August 2024 with a clear goal: to turn it into a warm, reliable, and high-quality care space for dogs. 

Ashley already operated a successful pet-sitting division under the name Animal People, LLC, which she built into a six-figure business in only a year and a half. However, as they looked to grow their family, they realized they needed a dedicated facility where clients could bring their pets, rather than traveling to each pet’s home. Gingr became a vital part of their operations, helping them deliver a seamless experience to clients and their pets.

Pet Boarding Software FAQs

Can Gingr help manage bookings and payments?

Yes, Gingr offers pet scheduling tools to facilitate online bookings, allowing customers to book at any time, from anywhere. Gingr Payments is an integrated payment processing solution that provides better customer experiences, boosts efficiency, and reduces transaction time by 50%.

Can I set up automatic discounts for multi-pet families?

With Gingr, you can set up flexible, automated pricing rules to save staff time and reduce manual errors. Configure rules that automatically apply discounts, ensuring accurate invoicing without manual effort.
