For groomers, care studios and pet-service specialists

Online booking for grooming and pet care

Pet owners choose a service and time. Specialists review their schedule, allow time to prepare the work area and manage rescheduling and visit outcomes in the journal.

Basic booking is free; email automation, AI and payment services have separate terms.

Start with one service in Services by appointment. The booking client is the pet owner.

Available now: standard booking through Services by appointment. Dedicated pet records, veterinary medical records, vaccination tracking and prescriptions are outside this workflow.

  • Service duration and buffer
  • Each specialist’s schedule
  • Booking links for pet owners

Pet-care studio checklist

Realistic durations

Separate services that need different amounts of time. Clarify pet needs before confirming the final scope of care.

Prepare the work area

Set buffers between visits and separate breaks. Check that the resulting schedule works for your studio.

Assign client communication

Decide who speaks to owners, arranges rescheduling and manually clarifies pet information.

Define your records

The booking stores a person’s contact and a visit. Keep pet records and specialist documents through your separate process.

Your first workflow

  1. 1

    Add a clear service

    Choose Services by appointment. Set a grooming service, its duration and time to prepare the work area.

  2. 2

    Set up a specialist

    Assign services, working hours and breaks. Set the location time zone and days away.

  3. 3

    Book as a pet owner

    Choose a service and time, wait for the result and check the journal. Test rescheduling and clarify pet details separately.

Try your own example

Product steps, not testimonials or promised results.

Test a pet owner’s booking

The standard booking journey documented in help, not an industry demo. A person clarifies pet needs; no dedicated pet record is created.

  1. 1

    Groomer configures time

    Sets service duration, buffer and working hours. Availability is calculated from those settings.

  2. 2

    Owner submits a booking

    Chooses a time and provides their contact details. Staff check that the journal accepted the booking.

    Booking by link or website →
  3. 3

    Studio clarifies details

    Staff discuss the pet and scope of care separately. After the service, they record the visit outcome.

Today’s workflow and possible pet-service development

Now: independent groomer

Open hours for individual visits. Owners choose a service; you verify bookings and discuss care details directly.

Now: small studio

Specialists follow their own schedules. An administrator manages changes and work-area preparation; shared resources require testing of the beta workflow.

Development proposal: pet records

Linking an owner to several pets, care needs and procedure history are requirements for a future industry profile. It is not available yet; veterinary operations require a separate decision.

Example situations. Measure time and costs with your own operations.

What it costs

What it costs

What you can start for free

Basic online booking, the journal and specialist assignment are free. A dedicated pet record is outside this workflow.

Set up grooming bookings

Start with one service in Services by appointment. The booking client is the pet owner.

What to consider before you start

  • The booking client is a person. Several pets belonging to one owner do not receive separate dedicated records here.
  • Animal medical history, vaccinations, prescriptions and veterinary reporting are outside the described workflow.
  • The specialist sets duration; breed, size and animal condition do not calculate service time automatically.
  • General resources and visit series are beta. Deposits require a supported connected payment provider.

Test your workflow and required connections before migrating data.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a dedicated pet record?

Not currently. A booking contains the owner and visit. An animal record with its own history and owner relationships is a proposal for further scoping.

Can this serve as a veterinary management system?

No. This page covers booking for grooming and nonmedical services. Veterinary medical records, prescriptions and specialist reporting are outside the workflow.

How do I handle different grooming durations?

Create services with suitable durations and buffers. Staff clarify pet needs in advance; there is no automatic calculation by breed or size.

Can one owner book for two pets?

You can arrange the required visits manually, agreeing duration and owner contacts. The system does not create separate pet records or distinguish the animals automatically.

Which business type should I select?

Choose Services by appointment. Add a service, specialist and hours. Test one visit and rescheduling before publishing the link.
