Our Story We Built It Because We Needed It
The Booking Nightmare (2009 – 2019)
The Linden Cat Hotel, owned by Moira, quickly grew to a point where a pen-and-paper system was breaking. We ended up using a boutique hotel system that gave us the great interface and customer management, but it wasn’t built for a pet hotel. We tried a few of the leading solutions for pet care facilities, but missed the boutique hotel interface and they still didn’t meet our needs. Frustrated, we eventually decided to build our own software on a leading low code platform.
The DIY Confidence and The Build
(2020 - 2023)
Before software, we faced the same hurdle with our website – a professional developer gave us a static brochure. Paul, then a Financial Analyst, used his spare time to build our successful site on WordPress. That success gave us the confidence to tackle the software problem. After finding that pet care software competitors like Revelation Pets lacked the required flexibility and clean dashboard, we decided to build our own solution using a low-code platform in 2019. By 2022, the software was seamlessly running our hotel, allowing us to grow the business, but retain the levels of service that our customers had come to expect. We have over 220 5 star reviews to prove it.
The Global Leap & Strategic Advantage (2024 – Today)
Paul left his career to dedicate his full-time efforts to scaling Petwyse. We built in multi-hotel capability and secured a global foundation via Destiny Digital Consulting LLC (Delaware, USA) and Stripe.
Our strategic base in South Africa allows us to develop and support these sophisticated tools cost-effectively, delivering exceptional value to the US and UK markets.

A Day at The Linden Cat Hotel: The Petwyse Workflow
The Optimized Morning Prep
Our day starts when we log in. The system automatically prompts us to confirm the staff working today, which feeds directly into the Staff Calendar to track wages for month-end. From the Dashboard, we then print the Check-in/Out Sheets to put on the unit doors and the Daily Schedule to plan the day.
Financial & Booking Control
While waiting for the first client, we approve pending bookings that arrived overnight (since the system works 24/7). Approving the booking automatically emails the client our banking details, requiring a deposit within 24 hours. eMail's can all be changed to your custom wording. Manual Payments, Zero Cost: We deliberately use manual payment capture (for EFTs) to maintain zero transaction costs. Proof of payment is easily captured from the dashboard, changing the status from Deposit Due to Deposit Paid. All payments are taken upfront.
Automated Workflows & Reminders
This is where the autopilot works. Clients are reminded of their agreed drop-off and collection times the day before check-in and check-out. These automated reminders -which include the remaining amount due - ensure smooth flow.
Proof: This system has ensured 98% of all bookings are paid prior to check-in.
Monitoring and Updates
The Customizable Dashboard shows panels with current occupancy, pending bookings, and updates for cats that checked in the previous day (which can be sent directly from the screen). Everything you need is at your fingertips.
