An employee web portal for managing pet boarding and grooming operations, built with TypeScript across the full Express and MongoDB stack. Six domain models — Guests, Clients, Visits, Employees, Kennels, and Services — form an interconnected data layer where visits cross-reference assigned kennels, scheduled services, and check-in state. The visit workflow covers the full operational cycle: scheduling with kennel assignment, check-in and check-out with occupancy tracking, per-service completion logging, and computed billing.

Employees manage daily boarding operations — scheduling visits, assigning kennels, tracking service completion, and processing billing — with role-based views separating standard workflows from administrative functions.
