Petotel is a creatively designed Gutenberg theme for pet hotels and pet boarding centers. Professional pet sitters and pet caretakers can also use this template to build a modern looking website with online reservations for their business.
WordPress 5.0 Theme
The theme is built specifically for WordPress 5.0 and higher, and is fully optimized to work with the new WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg).
Two Powerful Plugins Included for Free
Petotel theme is shipped with two plugins (included for free) – MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin and Getwid Gutenberg blocks plugin.
Extra Gutenberg Blocks
Getwid plugin provides a collection of 24+ Gutenberg blocks for you to easily customize the pages of Petotel theme by adding custom banners, pricing tables, image sliders, Instagram galleries, testimonials, interactive maps and other content elements via intuitive interface of the new Block Editor.
Online Reservation System
Thanks to the booking system backed by MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin, you are free to enable real-time reservations of your boarding facilities and accept online payments.
Works for Any Pet Boarding Facility
Be it a cat condo, dog kennel, luxury dog suite, reptile housing or a flight cage – you can list any boarding unit your pet hotel may be offering and provide all the necessary information about it (capacity, size, rates, amenities and extra services, availability, etc.)
Real-Time Availability of Your Boarding Units
Each type of accommodation will be displayed on a separate page with an individual availability calendar that is generated automatically (no coding needed on your part). Thanks to this, pet owners can check the availability of each boarding unit in real time and then book it directly on your site.
Bookable Extras and Services
If there are any extra services you provide at your pet hotel (e.g., pet grooming, dog training, dog walking or individual playtime, etc.), your customers will be able to pre-order them online while making a reservation.
Automatic and Manual Booking Confirmation
You can confirm the incoming reservations in three ways:
- automatically confirm the bookings upon payment of a deposit of the full booking price;
- automatically send emails with booking confirmation links to your customers;
- manually approve each reservation from the admin dashboard.
Seasonal Pricing and Custom Rates
The built-in booking system of Petotel theme lets you build a custom pricing strategy for your pet hotel. You can set the rates of your boarding units to vary depending on season, number of pets, length of boarding or create multiple rates for one and the same accommodation type (e.g., offer a standard rate and a grooming-included rate for one and the same dog suite).
Secure Online Payments
Pet owners can conveniently pay for the boarding units and related services they booked on your site via a number of secure payment gateways, such as PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout, Beanstream, Braintree, or pay on arrival. You can optionally extend the number of payment methods available on your site by purchasing our custom WooCommerce Payment Gateways addon.
WooCommerce Ready
This pet hotel theme contains ready-made WooCommerce shop pages so you can easily set up an online store to sell pet products on your site (pet toys, food, pet grooming items, etc.) and get extra revenue for your business without any additional effort.
One-Click Demo Data Import
Petotel is packed with one-click demo importer that lets you install the theme demo data and get a pre-made website in a matter of minutes and with no coding involved. Simply replace the sample text and images with your own ones, and your pet hotel site is ready to go live!
