DaySmart Pet
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
What it is
DaySmart Pet is business management software for pet-care businesses, including groomers and salons. Its appointment book supports drag-and-drop scheduling and color-coded views by day, week, or employee. A customizable booking site accepts appointment requests around the clock, with visits confirmed after the business approves them. Automated text and email reminders let customers confirm or reschedule, while digital forms support paperwork and consent submissions before visits. The integrated point of sale accepts credit, debit, digital wallets, and offline payments. Reports cover appointments, client behavior, service performance, revenue, discounts, spending habits, and inventory. Plans begin at $29 a month with payments or $39 a month without payments. The Basic plan includes one user, 500 monthly text messages, and 1,000 monthly email messages. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial does not require a credit card. Trial data is retained if the account is activated and lost if the trial expires without activation. QuickBooks connections require a separate QuickBooks Online subscription and have eligibility conditions for US customers.
