Pet Grooming Software
for Pet Professionals
Run your salon your way. Pet Manager gives grooming businesses the flexibility to schedule, charge, and rebook exactly how they want - whether that’s set appointments or flexible drop-offs. Simple for staff. Easy for clients. Built for grooming.
Smart Scheduling
Complete Flexibility in Managing Grooming Appointments
Some Pet Grooming Salons run on strict appointment times to keep the day tightly scheduled. Others prefer a more flexible approach—dogs arrive in the morning, and staff work through them as it suits.
With Pet Manager, you get the best of both worlds. Roster-based booking is perfect for timed appointments, while Groooming Service Windows mode lets you set flexible drop-off periods and groom at your own pace

Repeat Bookings
Auto-Schedule with Confidence
Pet Grooming businesses often rely on regular repeat bookings - like every four or six weeks - but manually scheduling them is time-consuming. Even worse, these future appointments can accidentally land on public holidays or days the business is closed, causing missed bookings and customer frustration.
- Smart Recurring Bookings Pet Manager offers is intelligent recurring scheduling. You can set up a repeating appointment with no end date—say, every six weeks—and the system will automatically build out the future bookings. If any of those land on a day you’re closed, a smart dashboard highlights the conflict so you can shift the appointment with just a click. It’s effortless rebooking with built-in holiday awareness.
Scheduler & Calendar
See the Day Your Way
Grooming businesses juggle multiple perspectives—managers want the big picture, staff need to see their personal schedule, and clients often call asking when their next booking is. Without flexible calendar views, it’s hard to keep everyone on the same page.
-
Scheduling Visibility Pet Manager delivers a suite of purpose-built calendars. There’s an overall scheduler showing all bookings at once. A daily summary calendar highlights the number of bookings each day for quick capacity checks. The staff calendar breaks it down by groomer, laying out their day hour by hour so they can plan ahead. The pet calendar lets you pull up an individual pet and see all their past and future appointments at a glance. Whether you're managing the team or rebooking a nervous cavoodle, the right calendar is always at your fingertips.
-
Google Calendar Sync Each staff member can subscribe to their own grooming schedule using a unique link, making their appointments visible right inside their Google Calendar or another calendar app.

Pet Manager has been an absolute game-changer for us, making our day-to-day operations so much … More more efficient. The time we previously spent on invoices alone makes it well worth it.
As a small business without much experience using software, it can feel a bit intimidating at first, but the resources available and the support team make it easy. Whenever we submit a ticket, the Pet Manager team responds quickly, explains everything clearly, and even acts on suggestions. Because we don’t have a very standard business model, the team has been incredible in helping us customise the system to fit our needs.
We couldn't recommend Pet Manager enough! -
Pet Manager is amazing! We took over a boarding cattery that was using a pen and paper booking … More system. We knew we needed to change that very quickly and I'm so happy I found Pet Manager. Ian walked me through the system and set up various aspects for me, while also pointing out settings I could customise later if I needed to. The Xero and Stripe integrations are brilliant and make life so much easier. Support has always been efficient. They've thought of everything with this software. I can't imagine boarding cattery life without it (actually I can, but the thought makes me hyperventilate). It's money well spent. Thank you, Ian and the team!

We would not be as efficient or organised without Pet Manager. The software is easy to navigate … More and customer service is very good. My computer illiterate partner (66Male) can work with Pet Manager with ease.

Business Optimized
Tailor-Made Grooming Workflows for Every Business Model
Every pet business has a unique workflow, so our grooming module is designed to adapt to the way you actually work. Whether you prefer a structured appointment book or a high-volume drop-off model, you can switch between modes to keep your facility running smoothly.
- Standard Grooming Standard Grooming allows you to manage individual groomer rosters with precise, custom appointment times throughout the day. Pricing and durations are automatically calculated based on animal size and breed to ensure your schedule remains both accurate and profitable. This mode is the perfect fit for traditional salons where clients expect dedicated time slots and predictable one-on-one service.
- Grooming Service Windows Grooming Service Windows offer a streamlined drop-off model where pets arrive at a set start time and are groomed throughout the day at your team’s pace. To prevent overbooking, the system monitors your total capacity by calculating the exact minutes required for every breed and service type scheduled in that window. This setup is ideal for daycare facilities, giving you the freedom to notify owners as dogs are finished or coordinate a single pickup time for the whole group.

Manage Cashflow
Next Gen Payment Options
-
A pet grooming facility was juggling Payment receipts, online payments, and manual records—reconciling with Xero was a nightmare. With integrated Stripe and Tyro payments and seamless Xero sync, Pet Manager streamlined everything. Invoices, payments, and credits flowed automatically, saving hours each week.
-
Cancellations the day before a stay were costing a grooming business hundreds each month, but they had no clear policy or way to track credits. Pet Manager let them charge non-refundable deposits and automatically issue credit notes when bookings were canceled. This reduced revenue loss and made policies easy to enforce.
-
A grooming business was constantly chasing payments and struggling with manual reconciliation. Pet Manager’s integration with Stripe means clients can pay online at the time of booking—whether for all booking types. You can require upfront payment to reduce no-shows, and funds are automatically recorded in the system. No more mistyped amounts, lost invoices, or chasing down overdue payments.
