Walk-through: conversations
A shared inbox and a support desk so a late collection is not stuck in someone’s personal mail.
Pet care management software
Somewhere steady for the people who look after animals
Arhosfa keeps the animals, the day and the people who bring them in one workspace — so the next arrival does not start from a blank page.
Beta launches 1 November 2026 · 25% beta discount
Six parts of the day
The animals, the stay, the people, the messages, the team and the places you run.
The animals
Each animal sits with the people who bring them, and the notes the team needs for the stay.
The stay
Arrivals, the day itself, and collections — visible before the first one is at the door.
The people
The families and organisations you know, with a clear next conversation.
The conversations
A shared inbox and a support desk, so a question is not stuck in one person’s mail.
The team’s time
Time off sits with the rest of the work, so cover is visible early.
The places you run
More than one business, and the locations inside them, from one workspace.
A record of the care you already give
Most pet care businesses already care well. What fails is the record of that care. A diary for dates, a card for the animal, a chat for the late collection, a private inbox for the enquiry. Each tool is reasonable. Together they make a busy morning slower than the animals deserve.
Arhosfa is the workspace that holds those pieces in one place: the animals, the stay, the people who bring them, the conversations, the team’s time, and the places you run. It is pet care management software from Hawdren — not training software, not a consumer marketplace, not a till.
If you run boarding kennels or a cattery, home stays, daycare or grooming, the job-to-be-done is the same shape. Know who is coming. Know who is here. Know who may collect. Know what this visit needs. Let the next person on the team see it without a scavenger hunt.
The day is visible
Arrivals, who is already with you, and collections — before the first car, and for everyone on the team, not only the person who took the booking.
The animal is not a blank card
Notes, people and papers sit with them. The next stay, daycare day or groom starts from the last one.
Messages have a home
A shared inbox keeps enquiries and changes with the person and the stay, instead of a private mail folder that nobody can cover.
More than one place, one workspace
A kennel and a cattery, a table, a home, a second site. Each keeps its name. The families do not have to be typed in twice.
For the places animals are looked after
Who Arhosfa is forBoarding kennels and catteries
The daily rhythm of arrivals, collections and the families who trust you with an animal overnight.
Home stays
Smaller places, often someone’s home, where the relationship matters as much as the booking.
Daycare
The same animals, the same people, coming back through the week.
Grooming
A visit that still belongs to a person and an animal you will see again.

Questions people ask
- What is Arhosfa?
- Arhosfa is pet care management software from Hawdren. It is a workspace for the animals in your care, the stays you run, the people who bring them, the conversations around them, the team’s time, and the places you operate.
- Who is Arhosfa for?
- Boarding kennels and catteries, home stays, daycare and grooming. If your work is training and qualifications, that is Afanor — a different Hawdren product.
- Is Arhosfa the same as Afanor?
- No. Afanor is training management software. Arhosfa is pet care management software. Both are Hawdren products, built for different kinds of work.
- How much does Arhosfa cost?

- How does the 25% beta discount work?
- Register your interest before launch and we will explain how to claim 25% off when the beta opens on 1 November 2026. The discount applies to the Arhosfa beta offer we confirm with you — not to optional top-ups such as address lookups unless we say otherwise.
- Does Arhosfa take online bookings from the public?
- No. Arhosfa is the operational workspace for the team. Families still reach you by phone, mail or the channels you already use. Those conversations can live in the shared inbox with the stay they concern.
