FOR DOG GROOMERS

Booking built for the dogs in your chair, not a pet directory.

Take grooming appointments on your own domain, keep breed and temperament notes on every dog, and stop chasing texts when a slot opens up. Your clients book you, not the shop down the street.

Pet notes that follow every dog

Keep breed, coat type, temperament, last cut, and handling notes on each client's pet, so whoever picks up the leash already knows the dog. The customer portal lets owners see their history and rebook the same groom without a phone call.

Vaccination records before they walk in

Send digital intake forms, waivers, and consent up front, and collect proof of vaccination as a photo or file upload. Rabies and Bordetella records are on file before the dog is on the table, not scribbled on a sticky note at drop-off.

Deposits for big dogs and long grooms

A two-hour full groom on a large breed is your whole morning. Take a deposit through Stripe to hold the slot, and disclose your no-show fee at booking so cancellations don't cost you. Fast payouts, same-day where Stripe supports it.

Reminders and self-rebooking for regulars

Doodles and double-coats come back every few weeks. Email and SMS reminders cut your no-shows without you texting anyone, and the customer portal lets regulars rebook their next groom themselves whenever they're due.

A waitlist that refills cancellations for you

When a Saturday full-groom cancels, Dropinly automatically offers that slot to the next matching dog on the waitlist. If they don't answer in time, it passes to the next owner. The cascade runs itself, so a freed table doesn't sit empty.

Your table, your staff, your queue

Run multiple groomers and bathers on separate calendars with their own roles and permissions, handle nail-trim walk-ins through the queue, and book puppy classes or events as group bookings. Everything lives on your branded page and custom domain.

Coming from Booksy, Vagaro, Fresha, Square, Acuity, or Mindbody? Import your client list and appointment history for free, so nobody loses their slot, then keep breed and pet notes right inside Dropinly. Month-to-month, no contract, no marketplace commission, and your data exports to CSV and JSON in one click if you ever leave.

FAQ

Questions dog groomers owners ask.

What does it cost to switch from Booksy or Vagaro?

Nothing to move and nothing locked in. Importing your client list and appointment history from Square, Acuity, Mindbody, Booksy, Vagaro, or Fresha is free, the trial runs 45 days with no credit card, and you stay month-to-month with no contract. If it isn't a fit, your data exports to CSV and JSON in one click.

Do you take a commission on my grooming appointments?

No. We don't run a marketplace and we never take a cut of your bookings. Your page lives on your own domain, your clients are yours, and you're never listed next to the groomer across town. Payments run through your own Stripe account with fast payouts, same-day where Stripe supports it.

Can I require vaccination records and deposits before a dog is booked?

Yes. Use digital forms and file uploads to collect proof of vaccination and signed waivers at booking, and require a Stripe deposit with your no-show fee disclosed up front, which is useful for large dogs and long full-groom sessions. Support is email and chat on every plan, including the free one.
