Reservations

When a pet is required to complete an evaluation before booking services, Gingr automatically enforces these requirements in the Customer Portal. Pet parents will see badges on their pets and will be redirected into an evaluation booking if needed.

Before You Begin

  • Evaluations must be set up by the facility before they can be booked.
  • The Evaluation category is only visible in the Customer Portal if an evaluation reservation type exists and is enabled.
  • Pets who have already passed all required evaluations will not see the Evaluation category.

1. Log in and Select a Pet

Log into the Customer Portal. From the homepage, view your pet cards. Pets who need evaluations will show the Evaluation icon and a "Requires Evaluation" badge. Pets who have passed all required evaluations will show the green passed icon and will not display the Evaluation category when booking.

2. Begin the Booking Process

Select the Book Clock Icon from the homepage or select the pet you wish to book and then click the blue 'Book' button. On the Booking Category screen, you will see all available categories. Categories that require an evaluation will display the "Requires Evaluation" badge. Categories for which the pet has already passed will appear normally (e.g., Boarding, Daycare).

3. Redirect to the Evaluation Category

If a pet has not yet passed the required evaluation for a chosen category (for example, Daycare), the system will automatically redirect the booking to the Evaluation category and ensure the correct evaluation type (e.g., Daycare Evaluation) is selected.

4. Complete the Evaluation Booking

Choose the dates for the evaluation. If applicable, select a specialist. The specialist list will auto-expand if there is only one option. If no services are available for this evaluation type, the system will skip directly to the review step. Confirm the details and submit the reservation request.

1. Navigate to the Portal

Navigate to the customer portal for your facility at hcdogspot.portal.gingrapp.com.

From the Home menu, select your pet(s) and then select the blue Book button.

Similar to checking in before a flight, Gingr PreCheck allows pet parents to complete a detailed check-in form before arrival, reducing errors and saving time at the front desk with a streamlined check-in experience.

1. Log in to Customer Portal

You can do this by clicking the link from the Gingr PreCheck email or SMS message sent by the facility, logging into the Pet Parent Mobile App, or by logging in through a browser. If you choose to log in to the portal via the Pet Parent Mobile App or through a browser, select Gingr PreCheck form notification from the Customer Portal Notification Center on the dashboard. If you clicked the link directly from the Gingr PreCheck email or SMS message sent from the facility, this will direct you straight to the associated Gingr PreCheck form.

2. Start PreCheck

Select the Start Gingr PreCheck button.

3. Fill Out Required Information

Fill out all required information. The Gingr PreCheck form is split into sections for owner information, the pet's information, and the booking information. All required fields will have a red asterisk by the title of the field. When you fill out a section, there will be a "next section" button at the bottom of the screen.

4. Complete and Check In

Once all of the Gingr PreCheck information is filled out, you will receive a green success message and the page will give you check-in instructions. When you arrive at the facility on your scheduled start date, select the I'M HERE button at the bottom of the last page of the Gingr PreCheck form. This will notify the facility of your arrival.
