Everything you need to run your dog groomer business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Service slots that match the coat, not the clock

Set different appointment lengths for baths, tidy-ups, full grooms, hand-stripping, de-shedding and puppy intros. Build in drying/clean-down time so your diary reflects how grooming actually runs, not wishful thinking.

Deposits for longer grooms and no-show protection

Take a deposit for full grooms or new clients, and keep shorter services pay-on-the-day. If someone cancels late or doesn’t arrive, you’re not left with a dead slot and a lost afternoon’s earnings.

Automatic reminders for drop-off and pick-up

Send clear confirmations and reminders so owners know the time, the address, and what to bring. Reduce “I forgot” cancellations and stop the constant chasing when you’re trying to finish a dog safely.

Mobile route-friendly booking controls

Offer availability that suits your patch and the way you work—so bookings don’t scatter across the county. Keep sensible gaps for travel and avoid the classic ‘two villages apart in rush hour’ problem.

Client and pet notes that follow the booking

Record grooming instructions and handling notes: clip length, matting history, skin sensitivities, behaviour, and owner preferences. The right info shows up with the appointment so you’re not relying on memory or old texts.

Confirmations that cut down on “just checking…” calls

When clients can see their booking details instantly, you get fewer interruptions. That means more time grooming, fewer distractions around nervous dogs, and less admin stacked up for the evening.

The challenges every dog groomer faces

Every coat takes a different amount of time

A “full groom” isn’t one-size-fits-all. Coat type, size, behaviour, matting and drying time can add 20 minutes or an extra hour. When clients book the wrong option (or underplay matting), your whole day slips and you’re still grooming when you should be cleaning down.

No-shows and late arrivals ruin the whole run

One missed appointment can’t always be filled at short notice, especially for longer grooms. Late drop-offs compress your schedule, cause rushed work, and lead to awkward conversations at pick-up. Without deposits and clear reminders, you end up carrying the cost.

Mobile grooming means travel time and routing headaches

For mobile groomers, the job isn’t just the groom—it’s the drive, parking, access to the dog, and working around owners’ availability. If bookings land in random postcodes, you lose hours in the van and squeeze fewer dogs into the day.

Clients expect instant replies—while you’ve got hands on a dog

You can’t answer the phone mid-bath or while scissoring. But owners still ring for availability, prices, “can you do today?”, and changes to pick-up times. Missed calls become lost bookings, and constant message-checking interrupts safe, calm handling.

Built for real dog groomer workflows

A normal day starts before the first dog arrives: you’re checking the diary, making sure you’ve got the right blades, shampoos and bows, and spacing out the bigger coats so you’re not drying two double-coated dogs back-to-back. Without a proper booking setup, you’re also replying to overnight messages—“Can I swap to Friday?”, “How much for a Cockapoo?”, “Do you have anything today?”—and trying to...

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your dog groomer business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

List your grooming services the way customers ask for them

Add baths, tidy-ups, full grooms, de-shedding, hand-stripping, puppy introductions, nail clips and teeth/ear add-ons. Set realistic timings per service so a full groom doesn’t get booked into a quick slot.

2

Set your rules for deposits, cancellations, and matting

Choose which services need a deposit (often full grooms and new clients) and set your cancellation window. Add clear notes about extra time/charges for matting so you’re not having the same difficult conversation at the counter.

3

Share your booking link and start filling the diary

Put the link on your website, Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram. Clients book 24/7, you approve what you need to, and your day stays organised even when you’re fully booked on the table.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about our dog groomer booking system.

Try it free
How do I handle urgent requests like a last-minute nail clip or hygiene trim?

Set up a short “quick service” appointment type with limited daily slots, so you can fit urgent bits in without wrecking your full-groom run. You can keep those slots to certain times (for example late morning) when you’re more likely to have a gap. Clients book what’s available rather than ringing repeatedly while you’re grooming.

Can I offer different booking options for bath & brush, tidy-up, and full groom?

Yes—separate services can have their own durations, prices and notes. That means a bath and blow-dry can sit neatly between longer grooms, and you’re not guessing how long you’ll need. You can also add optional extras like nails, de-shedding treatment, or teeth cleaning.

When should I take payment—deposit upfront or pay on pick-up?

Most groomers take a deposit for longer services or new clients to reduce no-shows, then take the balance on pick-up. For quick services, you might keep it pay-on-the-day. The system lets you decide by service type so you’re not charging deposits for a five-minute nail clip unless you want to.

How does it cope with seasonal rushes like Christmas and summer coat blow-outs?

You can open extra availability for peak weeks, limit certain services, or pause new-client bookings when you’re at capacity. During busy periods you can increase deposit requirements for long grooms to protect the diary. When it’s quieter, you can widen availability again without changing how you take bookings.

I’ve got two groomers and a bather—can we manage the diary together?

Yes, you can organise bookings so you know who is doing what and avoid two people being booked for the same table/time. It’s especially handy when one groomer does hand-stripping or larger breeds and needs longer slots. You can also keep certain services assigned to specific team members.

How does it help turn enquiries into confirmed bookings?

Instead of long message threads, you can send a booking link that shows the right services and real availability. Clients who are “just checking prices” often book when they can see a clear option and a time that suits them. Deposits and confirmations stop the back-and-forth and reduce drop-offs.

Can I keep clients informed without constantly texting while I’m grooming?

Automated confirmations and reminders cover most of the common questions—time, location, and what they’ve booked. You can also add notes like “please allow a pickup window; we’ll message when ready” to reduce repeated calls. That means fewer interruptions when you’re working with nervous or wriggly dogs.

Can I adjust pricing for different coat conditions, sizes, and behaviour?

You can set clear starting prices by service and include guidance for extras such as matting, heavy de-shedding, or difficult handling. Many groomers use notes to explain that severe matting may take longer or require a different groom. This helps set expectations before the dog arrives, not at pick-up.

Why iBookFast for your dog groomer business?

Dog grooming is one of those trades where the diary is the business. If the diary is wrong, everything else suffers—your finish time, your stress levels, and the quality of the groom. The problem is that clients often don’t understand what affects timing. They’ll ask for a “bath and trim” without mentioning the dog hasn’t been brushed for six weeks, or they’ll book a quick nail clip but turn up wa...
