Slotly gives pet groomers and grooming salons a single booking link, automated reminders, and no-show protection — so your pet grooming business stays booked without the phone tag. You've got a dog on the table and clippers running. A booking link lets owners self-schedule grooms without you stopping work to take the call.
What scheduling chaos costs pet groomers and grooming salons.
You can't answer the phone mid-groom
You've got a dog on the table and clippers running. A booking link lets owners self-schedule grooms without you stopping work to take the call.
Grooms vary wildly by breed and coat
A nail trim is 15 minutes; a full doodle de-matting is three hours. Per-service, per-breed durations keep the book honest so a big groom doesn't blow up the day.
No-shows waste a long booked block
A ghosted full groom is hours of dead table time. Deposits, reminders, and address confirmation cut the wasted slots.
Everything a pet grooming business needs to stay booked.
Service & breed-based durations
Set distinct lengths for nail trims, baths, full grooms, and de-matting, adjustable by breed and coat type so the time blocked matches the real job.
Deposits & no-show protection
Take a deposit via Stripe or PayPal on long grooms and auto-charge late-cancel fees so a no-show doesn't waste hours of table time.
Recurring groom scheduling
Let owners hold a standing every-six-weeks groom in one tap, and remind them when their pet is due so they keep coming back.
Intake for temperament & vaccination
Collect breed, coat condition, vaccination status, and temperament notes at booking so you're prepared before the pet arrives.
How pet groomers and grooming salons use Slotly.
- An owner books a full groom for a goldendoodle, with the duration auto-set for a long-coat breed, and pays a deposit.
- A standing six-week groom recurs automatically for a regular client's schnauzer.
- An intake form captures vaccination status and temperament notes before the pet arrives.
- A reminder text the day before the appointment cuts the wasted no-show blocks.
Pet Groomers scheduling: your questions answered
Can groom length vary by breed and service?
Yes. Each service is its own appointment type with its own duration, and you can adjust for breed and coat so a quick nail trim and a three-hour de-matting each block the right amount of table time.
Can I take deposits for long grooms?
Connect Stripe or PayPal and require a deposit on full grooms, then auto-charge a late-cancel or no-show fee within the window you set, so ghosted appointments stop wasting hours.
Can clients book recurring grooms?
Yes. Owners can hold a standing every-four- or six-week groom, and Slotly reminds them when their pet is due so lapsed clients come back on schedule.
Can I collect vaccination and temperament details up front?
Attach an intake form to bookings to capture breed, coat condition, vaccination status, and temperament notes so you're prepared before the pet is on the table.
Can owners book without calling the shop?
Yes. Share a booking link on your website and Google Business profile so owners self-schedule grooms any time, and reschedule themselves within your policy window.
