GroomBoard
What it is
GroomBoard is booking and client management software for independent dog groomers and small grooming salons. Its shared booking page lets clients check real availability, choose a service, and book appointments. The service sends automatic confirmations and SMS reminders the day before appointments. Pet records can include breed, coat notes, grooming history, preferences, pricing, and photos. Calendar views cover days, weeks, and months, with buffers, blocked time, multi-pet families, and lunch breaks.
Plans start at $9/mo, with a 7-day trial and no free plan. Starter costs $9 a month for one groomer and 100 texts; Solo costs $19 a month for one groomer and 250 texts; Salon costs $39 a month for up to five staff accounts and 600 texts. Deposits and missed appointment fees connect to the groomer’s Stripe account; the homepage states Stripe’s standard fee is 2.9% plus 30 cents. GroomBoard can import records from listed grooming services or appointments from a photographed paper book, and users can export client, pet, and appointment data as CSV files. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web.
