KennelFlow Boarding (KennelPress) is the boarding companion for KennelFlow Core. It registers kennels and bookings, checks availability, exposes REST endpoints for custom booking flows, and adds front-desk tools for daily operations.
What you get
- KennelPress Front Desk — top-level menu with links to bookings and the kennel calendar.
- Kennel bookings — create and manage boarding reservations (pet, kennel, location, dates, status).
- Kennels — define runs and rooms with location, resource type, and capacity.
- Kennel calendar — REST-fed calendar view for a selected UTC date range.
- Kennel rules — per-location hours, holiday closures, blackout windows, and boarding windows (React UI under KennelFlow).
- Mobile Report Card — staff PWA to send daily photo + checklist emails to pet owners for checked-in boarding stays.
- REST API — availability, locations, kennels, bookings, facility settings, and report cards under
kennelflow-boarding/v1(legacykennelpress/v1routes remain registered for compatibility).
Pets and physical locations use KennelFlow Core (kf_pet, kf_location). WooCommerce is optional; use KennelFlow Boarding Pro for checkout and payment links.

Mobile report card (staff PWA)
Authorized staff can send a daily photo + checklist email to the pet owner for boarding stays:

edit_postsorkennelpress_send_reports. - Staff URL (no wp-admin chrome):
https://yoursite.com/kennelflow-mobile— requires pretty permalinks (not “Plain”). After install, open Settings → Permalinks and click Save once if the URL 404s. - Fallback URL:
https://yoursite.com/?kf_pwa=1 - WordPress admin: KennelPress → Mobile Report Card (same app, full-width, admin menu hidden).
- What it does: Lists boarding bookings with status checked in for today (site timezone). Take a photo, set mood, breakfast, bathroom, notes, then Send Report Card. The image is saved to the Media Library and the owner receives an HTML email (pet owner must be linked via KennelFlow Core).
- REST:
POST /wp-json/kennelflow-boarding/v1/report-cards(multipart:booking_id,photo,mood,ate_food,bathroom,notes).
