Scheduling
Dog grooming scheduling software your whole team can read at a glance
One calendar for every groomer, bather and location, with the guardrails that keep the day running on time.
A calendar that understands grooming
A haircut is not a 30-minute slot. A doodle with a thick coat can take twice as long as a short-haired terrier, and the same dog may take longer with one groomer than another. The Grooming App estimates duration from the pet and the services chosen, and lets you override it for individual pets and groomers.
The result is a calendar that tells the truth about your day. Groomers see their own color, the front desk sees everything, and nobody finds out at 2 p.m. that the schedule was impossible.
Scheduling
What you can do
Day, week and month views
Switch views in one click and filter by groomer, mobile or in-shop appointments, or the days you work.
Color-coded groomers
Each team member has their own color across the calendar, reports and routes, so you can scan a full week in seconds.
Conflict and availability checks
Appointments are checked against groomer hours and existing bookings before they are saved.
Smart durations
Duration comes from services plus pet size and coat, with per-pet, per-groomer overrides for the dogs who run long.
Reschedule and rebook
Move an appointment with live availability or rebook a regular client from their last visit in a click.
Wait list for cancellations
Capture demand you cannot serve today and call the right client the moment a slot frees up.

Scheduling: common questions
Can groomers see only their own appointments?
Yes. Roles and permissions control who can view all schedules and who can edit them, so a groomer can be limited to their own day.
Does it handle both shop and mobile appointments?
Yes. Both live on one calendar, and The Grooming App warns you when a mobile day would conflict with a groomer's shop schedule.
Can I see who changed an appointment?
Yes. Appointment history records changes and who made them.
