Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule grooming appointments and assign groomers by station?

Yes. Book appointments, assign them to specific groomers or stations, and view the full day on a drag-and-drop calendar. Conflicts are flagged before they're confirmed.

How do I track mobile grooming van locations and job status?

Mobile groomers clock in and out with GPS. Dispatch sees live locations on a map and gets notified when a groomer finishes a job and is ready for the next stop.

Can I store pet grooming notes like coat type or handling alerts?

Attach notes to each client job — coat condition, temperament flags, preferred products, or vet contact. Groomers see the notes on their phone before the appointment starts.

How do I handle no-shows and last-minute cancellations efficiently?

Mark a job as cancelled in seconds. The groomer's schedule updates immediately, and the slot is freed. Job history logs the cancellation for client records and billing review.

Can I track which groomer handled which pet for liability purposes?

Every job is tied to the assigned groomer's clock-in and clock-out. If a dispute arises, you have a timestamped record of who worked on which pet and when.

How do I manage part-time groomers with variable weekly hours?

Set each employee's schedule independently. Part-time staff only see their assigned shifts. Timesheets calculate actual hours worked automatically, ready for payroll export.

What does it cost, and is there a free plan for a solo groomer?

Solo groomers and 2-person teams use the full platform for free. Larger teams pay $5 per employee per month. A 55-day free trial is included for all plans.
