Online booking system for dog groomers
The simple booking system for dog groomers.
Owners book their own slot, the dog's details arrive with the booking, a reminder brings the regulars back every six weeks, and mobile rounds get the address up front.
- Reduce no-shows
- Set up in minutes
- Get more bookings
Free for 20 bookings a month. No card, no contract, no commission.
Every six weeks, in theory
Regulars who forget they are regulars
Grooming runs on repeat custom, and repeat custom runs on being reminded. Meanwhile you are elbow-deep in a doodle.
The six-week cycle slips
Every owner means to rebook. Most remember two weeks late, matted, and urgent.
No-shows you cannot backfill
A missed groom is two hours gone. Nobody books a same-day groom, so an empty slot stays empty.
Mobile rounds and missing addresses
If you go to the dog, a booking without an address is a phone call you now have to make.
Try it
Book yourself in, the way your owners will.
Four taps on the phone, and watch the booking land in the diary beside it. That is all your owners see: no app, no account, no password to invent.

Travel charges
Mobile groomer? Get paid for the drive

- Your rate, your free miles, and the furthest you travel for online bookings
- Owners see your rule from the first step, and the charge before they book
- Change it, take it off or work it out again from the diary
Their side
Your page, on your owners' phones.
Your name, your services, your prices, in your colours. This is what opens when one of your owners taps the link in your bio or scans your QR card. No app, no account, booked in under a minute.
- Real times, not requests: slots come from the live diary's actual gaps
- Nothing to download and no password to invent
- Confirmation lands by email, with add-to-calendar and a link to move it

FAQs
Questions from dog groomers, answered straight
What it costs, what your owners see, and how FullDiary fits the way dog groomers actually work.
Something else on your mind? Ask a human.
I am a mobile groomer. Does it handle addresses?
Yes. Turn on 'ask for the customer's address when they book' and the booking form requires it. The address shows on the appointment, in your confirmation emails and in the calendar entry, with a maps link on the diary card, so your round plans itself. A service's buffer time is your travel time between dogs.
Can I charge mobile customers for the drive?
Yes, on Pro. On the same Booking rules page, the Travel card sits under the address question: switch on Charge for travel and set your own price per mile, any free miles and the furthest you travel. The owner sees the charge on the booking page before they book, worked out from the real driving distance to their address. It goes on every online booking once it is on, so it is for a groomer who goes to every dog.
Can owners book the right slot length for their dog?
Yes. Services carry their own durations and prices, so a full groom books the time a full groom takes. Price options per size sit under one service, so a cockapoo and a newfoundland each book the right slot.
Does it remind owners when the next groom is due?
Yes. The groomer setup sets the rebook reminder to six weeks: anyone whose last groom was six weeks ago with nothing booked gets one friendly email with a link to book. The ordinary reminders the day before the appointment go on every plan.
Can I keep notes on each dog?
Yes. The pet details form arrives with the first booking, and every visit record has blade length, coat condition and weight. Private notes on the profile are for your eyes; a note you want the owner to see, like aftercare, goes to their page.
What does it cost?
Free for 20 bookings a month with the booking page, live diary and QR card. Pro makes bookings unlimited and adds more staff, more stores and packages, at 9.99 GBP a month a person, never more than 39.99 GBP. Reminder emails, the pet details form, messages and the six-week reminder are on every plan. No commission on bookings, ever.
Is it really free to start?
Yes, and it is not a trial. Twenty bookings a month, with the booking page, the live diary and the QR card included, for as long as you like. No card, nothing expires, and there is never commission on bookings. Pro is 9.99 GBP a month a person, never more than 39.99 GBP, when you outgrow it.
Do my owners need an app?
No. Your booking page is a link. It opens in their browser, they pick a service and a time, and the confirmation lands by email with an add-to-calendar file. Nothing to install on either side, and no password for anyone to forget.
