Describe your kennel layout, schedule, and staff responsibilities. Makeform turns them into a mobile checklist for sanitation tasks, inspections, exceptions, and staff sign-off.
Send completed cleaning records to Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier.

Step 2
Clean
remove debris, wash, and follow the sanitation procedure

A cleaner daily record
Connect each kennel to a staff member, cleaning sequence, completion time, and follow-up path so managers can review exceptions quickly.
Required kennel, shift, status, and staff fields show which run was completed or skipped.
Conditional questions separate occupied-run precautions from vacant turnover tasks.
Failed latches, drains, supplies, and reclean requests get notes, photos, owners, and due dates.
Built around kennel operations
Replace generic tasks with your approved products, contact times, animal-movement rules, and escalation contacts.
Record safe relocation, spot cleaning, bedding, water, observations, and return to a secure run.
Require washing, sanitation, directed rinsing, drying, fresh setup, and a readiness decision.
Rotate walls, gates, drains, storage, carts, and equipment through scheduled zones.
List kennels awaiting recleaning, repairs, supplies, review, or animal-care follow-up.
Checklist setup
Add your products, label directions, animal-handling rules, room names, and escalation process to the generated structure.
List kennel banks, shifts, occupied-run precautions, turnover tasks, isolation zones, and exception reviewers.
Match tasks to facility instructions and product labels: preparation, contact time, rinsing, drying, and tool separation.
Walk one run to check field order, photos, conditional questions, and blocked-kennel reporting.
Share the form, centralize records, and notify the lead about recleaning, restocking, or maintenance.
Choose the right record
Choose between a reminder and a task-level record across staff, rooms, and shifts.
Field guide
Distinguish a completed clean from a kennel that is wet, occupied, damaged, or awaiting correction.
Identity
Use controlled lists for building, room, kennel, date, shift, staff member, and time so managers can filter consistent records.
Preparation
Place animal relocation before chemical use, then confirm waste, bedding, dishes, toys, and debris were removed correctly.
Sanitation
Separate washing from disinfectant application. Capture product preparation, label-directed contact time, rinse requirement, and drying check.
Reset
Inspect clean bedding and bowls, fresh water, dry surfaces, clear drains, working doors, and a secure latch.
Observations
Separate facility concerns from dog observations so maintenance issues and care notes reach the right workflow.
Closure
Use completed, reclean required, or blocked status. For incomplete work, collect the reason, owner, due time, interim plan, and supervisor review.

Practical answers for boarding managers turning sanitation procedures into completion records.
Include kennel, shift, staff, occupancy, relocation, waste removal, washing, product and contact time, rinse and drying checks, fresh setup, latch inspection, observations, status, time, and sign-off. Follow your procedure and product label.
They can share one form with different paths. Occupied runs need relocation and spot cleaning. Vacant turnover may require washing, sanitation, drying, setup, and a readiness decision.
Match your written schedule. Create records for daily runs, turnover, deep cleaning, and closing rounds. Capture which run occurred rather than assuming one submission covers every area.
Yes. Share a mobile link or QR code. Use short checkbox groups, kennel dropdowns, conditional fields, and photos. Test it on a real cleaning route.
Use completed, reclean required, and blocked statuses. For failures, request the reason, photo, immediate action, kennel availability, owner, due time, and review.
Yes. Add product, preparation, application time, required duration, completion time, and label-directed rinse fields. If a timer is unavailable, it may be a buildable feature request; still require staff to confirm the step.
Yes. Makeform supports unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and use the checklist without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses appear in the Makeform inbox and can connect to Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. Consistent fields help managers filter incomplete work and prepare handoffs.
