Pet Boarding & Daycare, AI Vaccine Verification & Capacity-Safe Instant Booking Tool
An owner uploads a photo of their pet's vaccine records when they book, an AI vision model reads it and tells them immediately, by name, exactly what's covered and what's missing or expiring before their stay, and a booking never gets confirmed against the facility's hard daily capacity until it's confirmed compliant, so no pet gets turned away at drop-off with bags already packed.

The Vaccine Card Was Fine. It Expired Two Days Before Drop-Off.
Read the articleWho you sell it to
Independent dog boarding kennels and daycare facilities (not the big national chains, who already run enterprise kennel software) - typically a single-location operator handling 20-80 pets a day, currently chasing vaccine records by email or checking paper cards at the counter. Find them via Google Maps searches for 'dog boarding' or 'pet daycare' plus a city name, and pet-industry Facebook groups. A strong buying signal: any facility that mentions turning pets away at check-in over paperwork, or that's still using a paper sign-in binder - both are direct symptoms of the exact problem this tool fixes.
If you sell it, here is the money picture:
The first tile is the value of your client's own jobs, which is the reason they will pay you. The other two tiles are what you charge them.
How it works
An owner requests a boarding or daycare booking and, if their pet doesn't already have current verified records on file, uploads a photo of the vaccine certificate or paper card. A vision-capable AI model reads it, extracts each vaccine's name and expiration date, and cross-checks against the facility's required list - approving automatically if everything clears the check-in date by the configured cutoff window, naming the exact gap if something's missing or expiring soon, or routing to a human review queue if the photo genuinely can't be read. Only a fully compliant booking gets confirmed against the facility's hard daily capacity; if the requested dates are full, the owner goes on an automatic waitlist instead of hitting a dead end.
Staff get a color-coded daily arrivals board where a non-compliant pet is hard-blocked from being checked in, removing that judgment call from a busy front desk during a rush.
What to expect
The capacity math and the clear-cut Verified/Expired cases work reliably from day one. The first two weeks benefit from staff spot-checking a sample of AI reads against the actual photos, since handwritten or faded vet cards occasionally need a human glance - that's exactly what the Needs Review queue is for, and it should stay small. Expect the biggest early win to be qualitative before it's quantitative: staff stop having the same three-minute paperwork argument at the counter, and the facility gets an actual audit trail proving compliance if a health incident is ever questioned, rather than the current uneven mix of emailed PDFs and photos on someone's phone.
