Built for Solo Groomers
You book it, groom it, invoice it, and answer texts at midnight. Animal Friends OS handles the back office so you can focus on the dogs.
The Reality
These are the problems operators actually face.
Back-and-forth texts, double-bookings, missed calls. Managing a calendar manually while cutting costs more time than people realize.
"Can I come Saturday?" "What time is my appointment?" "Can you fit my other dog?" Every notification pulls you out of focus while you are working.
A single no-show on a solo schedule can mean $80-$120 in lost revenue with no time to fill the slot. Without a reminder system, they happen constantly.
Clients book directly into your live schedule — any time, without texting you. Your calendar fills itself overnight.
Booking confirmation, day-before reminder, 2-hour heads-up — all sent automatically. No-shows drop. You never write another reminder text by hand.
Coat type, preferred cut, behavioral notes, vaccine records — saved once, available every visit. Ask the same intake questions once, not every 6 weeks.
How AFOS Helps
Every feature in this list came from a real operational problem. Not from a feature roadmap meeting.
Share your booking link. Clients pick a time, fill in their pet info, and land in your calendar. You wake up with tomorrow already scheduled.
Every appointment triggers a confirmation, a day-before reminder, and a 2-hour heads-up. No-shows drop without a single manual text.
Appointment ends — tap send. Client pays from their phone. You stay in flow. No card reader required, no invoice chasing.
Coat type, cut notes, behavioral flags, vaccination records. Everything you learned about a dog in the first visit is there at every future visit.
Set a client on a 4-week, 6-week, or 8-week cycle. The system auto-books the next appointment after each visit and sends reminders.
Revenue by week, top clients, busiest service types, average ticket. Understand your business in 60 seconds without touching a spreadsheet.
Pricing
No per-staff fees. No add-on modules for core features. No annual contract. Three plans, and none of them charge you per staff member.
Animal Friends OS starts at $69/mo with all of it in the plan, and never charges per staff member.
