About this template
A pet daycare enrollment form does more than collect contact information — it documents the pet's temperament, social preferences, and vaccination status in a way that directly informs how staff manage the animal from day one. Without this information, staff are guessing about playgroup placement, potential triggers, and emergency protocols.
More about this template
The socialization preference field is especially critical. Grouping an undersocialized dog with high-energy play groups can result in stress, injury, or conflict. Knowing upfront that a dog 'prefers to play alone' or 'needs supervision with other dogs' lets you assign them appropriately and communicate that to every staff member who interacts with the animal.
formformform makes this form easy to complete on any device and sends your team an instant notification for every new enrollment. Customize it to include breed-specific playgroup policies, trial day waivers, or authorized pickup person fields. All enrollments are stored in your dashboard, making it simple to pull up a pet's record when you need it.

Best practices for your pet daycare enrollment
Require emergency contact details
during a medical incident, you may not be able to reach the owner immediately. A secondary contact is non-negotiable for a safe facility.
Use the socialization field to guide your trial day
if a dog is marked as needing supervision with other dogs, schedule their first day during a quieter period with a smaller playgroup.
Ask about bite history separately from general behavioral notes
some owners will mention it in a notes field but wouldn't think to volunteer it unprompted.
Follow up on vaccination records before the first day
the enrollment form captures what the client claims; records need to be verified before the animal enters the play area.
Note spayed/neutered status for intact animals
intact males and females in season require special management. This field allows you to flag them before they arrive.
Keep the form linked from your 'Schedule a Trial Day' confirmation email
enrollment should be completed before the trial, not at the door on day one.

Frequently asked questions
Can I require proof of vaccinations through the form?
The form captures which vaccines the client reports as current and includes an option to email records separately. For actual proof, follow up before the first day to verify records via email or have clients bring them in person.
How do I handle dogs that need a trial day before enrollment?
Add a radio or checkbox field asking if the client would like to schedule a trial day first. After reviewing the enrollment form, reach out to set the trial date and assess playgroup fit before full enrollment.
Can I add authorized pickup persons to this form?
Yes. Add a short_text field labeled 'Authorized Pickup Persons' with instructions to list names and their relationship to the owner. This is an important safety field for daycare facilities.
What if a dog doesn't get along with other dogs?
The socialization preference radio includes a 'No — prefers to play alone' option. Use this information to assign the animal to a separate play area or schedule them during low-volume hours rather than turning away a client.
Can I collect a monthly membership fee through this form?
formformform is a data collection tool, not a payment processor. Include your pricing information in the form description and direct clients to your payment method (Stripe link, Square, etc.) after submitting the enrollment.
Is this form suitable for cat daycares?
Yes, though cat daycares are less common. For feline-specific daycare, you might modify the socialization field to ask about comfort with shared spaces and add fields for litterbox type preference and hiding spot needs.
