Pet grooming scheduling software for dog grooming appointments

Pet grooming scheduling software pricing: $0 or $29.99 a month

Twizzlo Free is $0 a month and free forever, not a trial. It covers the booking page, groomer calendars, the client CRM, staff scheduling, insights and online payments with tips for up to 150 bookings a month, with email reminders and no SMS. A solo groomer can start free and upgrade to Business Pro only when bookings or SMS reminders call for it.

A busy shop with several groomers usually needs Business Pro: $29.99 a month per business for unlimited bookings and 50 SMS a month, then $0.03 each, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Online payments on either plan carry Stripe processing plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee. See plans and payment charges.

A dog grooming booking system clients can use at any hour

Grooming clients book around work, often in the evening. Twizzlo's 24/7 booking page runs in any phone browser, so there is nothing to download. Clients choose a service and a groomer, see open times and book without calling the shop.

Good pet grooming booking software only offers times a groomer can actually take, so an owner cannot squeeze a full groom into a 30-minute gap. Twizzlo's grooming booking software reads each groomer's schedule, shifts and time off in real time.

Confirmations and reminders go out by email, and by SMS on Business Pro. Clients can reschedule themselves from the booking link, which cuts down the reschedule texts that arrive every night.

Walk-in bookings sit on the same calendar, so a nail trim added at the front desk takes that time off the booking page at once.

Dog grooming appointment software that remembers every dog

Twizzlo keeps grooming history on the client profile. Use notes and preferences to record each dog's name, breed, coat, preferred cut and temperament, and record any product the dog reacts to under allergies. The groomer can read it before the dog is on the table.

Profiles belong to the client, so a household with two dogs keeps notes for both on one profile. Visit history and total spend show how often each client comes in, and repeat client tracking shows which regulars keep coming back.

Prepaid bookings and no-show fees for long grooms

A no-show on a three-hour groom is an afternoon a groomer cannot fill at short notice. Turn on prepaid bookings for full grooms and other long services: the client pays the full service price online through Stripe when they book, so the slot is only held once it is paid. Cancellation handling, custom booking rules and no-show fees support the policy you set, and if a client does not show, you decide whether to keep or refund the payment.

For policy wording, see how to set a no-show charge.

Dog grooming software for a team of groomers and bathers

Groomer scheduling software matters most once the shop has more than one table. Each groomer and bather gets a staff profile, an individual schedule and a calendar view, and role-based access controls what each person can see and change.

Shifts and time off keep the booking page accurate, and staff availability and utilization in the insights show who is fully booked. Adding a groomer or a second location does not change the Business Pro price, unlike per-seat groomer software, where every new groomer adds to the bill. Each location gets its own booking link.

• Bookable and non-bookable staff types, so a bather or a front-desk manager can use Twizzlo without appearing on the booking page
• An individual schedule and a calendar view for every groomer
• Multi-location staff shifts and schedules, with time off and blackout dates
• Services assigned to the groomers who do them

Mobile grooming software for groomers on the road

A mobile groomer's day is set by the drive as much as by the groom. Mobile grooming software has to leave time to get from one driveway to the next and tell you what to expect when you arrive. In Twizzlo, buffer times hold the drive after each appointment on the groomer's calendar, so owners cannot book the van into a gap you need for the road.

Notes on the client profile carry what you need at the door: where to park, which gate to use and how the dog handles the van. If you run a salon and a van, give each its own location with its own booking link and working hours. Both sit in one account, and locations are unlimited on both plans.

Route planning is not a Twizzlo feature, so plan the order of your stops the way you do today. For mobile pet grooming software that mainly needs booking, notes, reminders and prepaid grooms, Twizzlo covers it.

Pet grooming business software: payments, tips and insights

Grooming business software should show whether the shop is doing well, not just who is booked. Twizzlo takes online payments through Stripe at booking, lets owners add a tip for the groomer, and lets staff record manual payments for anything paid another way at pickup.

Insights show booking volume, revenue and next-hour insights in daily, weekly and monthly views, and new customer tracking shows how many first-time owners you gain. Groomer utilization shows who is fully booked and who has room for a walk-in. For dog grooming business software, that is the view to compare: money in, dogs booked and who has time.
