Pet grooming software
What GroomBoard is
GroomBoard is booking and client-management software for independent dog groomers and small grooming salons. Clients can use a shared booking page to check real availability, choose a service and book appointments themselves. The service sends booking confirmations and SMS reminders the day before appointments. Pet profiles can hold breed, coat notes, grooming history, preferences, pricing and photos. Calendar tools include day, week and month views, buffers, blocked time, multi-pet families and lunch breaks. Deposits and missed appointment fees connect to the groomer's own Stripe account; the homepage states Stripe's standard fee as 2.9% plus 30 cents. GroomBoard can import data from MoeGo, Gingr, DaySmart, Groomsoft and PetExec, as well as appointments from a photographed paper book. Users can export client, pet and appointment data as CSV files. It is available on Android, iOS and web. There is no free plan, and a 7-day trial is available. Plans start at $9/mo; text allowances and staff capacity vary by plan.
