Genera wasn’t dreamed up in a boardroom. It started inside a real dog daycare — ours.
A few years ago, we built a custom system for Duncan’s Dog Co., our 5-star licensed woodland daycare in Surrey. At first, it was just for us — a way to handle the constant admin that came with running a busy site.Bookings. Payments. Staff rotas. Records. Compliance. All of it in one place.
Over time, we added more as our business grew and the industry evolved. What started as a quick fix turned into something powerful. We realised if it worked for us, it could work for others too.
Built to Help the Industry
The dog-care world can be tough. Councils, licensing, inspections, staffing, customer opinions — everyone has one. We’ve been there for over a decade and know how demanding it can be.

That’s why we decided to make Genera available to everyone. It’s completely free, because the more people who use it, the better we can make it for everyone.
Our mission is simple: to help the industry. To make daycares, walkers, boarders and groomers run smoother. To make admin lighter. To bring everything together — not apart.
Inspired by Real Life
Genera was born out of necessity. It’s not theoretical software. It’s a system shaped by the real work of caring for dogs, dealing with councils, and running a small business with a big heart.
Every feature has been built because we’ve needed it ourselves:
Bookings and calendars that actually make sense
Clear, linked payments
Staff scheduling that works for real teams
Records that keep you inspection-ready
Tools that support compliance, not complicate it
We’ve tested it through years of trial and error, with real dogs, real clients, and real staff.
Built by People Who Get It
Genera exists because we wanted to make life easier for people like us.Dog daycares, walkers, boarders, and small pet businesses that work hard every day to do things right — but don’t always have the tools to keep up.
It’s been bubbling away behind the scenes for a while, and now it’s ready to share.
We’re not trying to “dominate the market.” We’re trying to raise it.
We want better systems, fairer practices, and more collaboration across the industry.
That’s why Genera will always be shaped by the people who use it — because that’s how it started.
Built by Daycare Owners. For the Daycare Industry.
