An embeddable booking widget that fills your calendar while you're grooming, sleeping, or spending time with family. Deposits required. No double-bookings. Ever.
Every booking requires a missed call, a voicemail, a callback attempt, a back-and-forth on timing — when a client would happily have booked online at 10 PM if you'd let them.
Clients decide to book when they're thinking about it — at night, on weekends, during lunch. Without online booking, those impulses result in a voicemail you won't hear until tomorrow.
Clients who book over the phone with no deposit have no skin in the game. Online booking with deposit collection cuts no-show rates dramatically.
A multi-step booking flow you embed on your own website with one line of code. It looks like yours — your logo, your services, your availability. Live in minutes.
Returning clients select from their existing pets. New clients add a pet during the booking flow. Breed, size, and service-specific requirements are captured at booking — no follow-up phone calls.
Require a deposit to confirm any online booking. Flat amount or percentage, configurable per service. Booking doesn't confirm until the deposit clears — virtually eliminates online no-shows.
The moment a booking is submitted, the client gets an SMS confirmation with the appointment details and a link to their portal. No delay, no back-and-forth.
The widget shows only real available slots based on your live calendar. Staff availability, buffer time, and blocked dates are all respected automatically. No double-bookings possible.
Control which services appear in the widget and whether clients can request a specific groomer. New client flow, returning client flow, and staff-only services are all configurable.
This feature wasn't designed from a spec sheet. It was built by Chase after years of managing fielding every booking by phone — missing calls during grooming, returning voicemails at 6 PM, and losing bookings to clients who gave up waiting for a callback manually at his own pet care business — watching time get wasted, mistakes happen, and money slip through the cracks.
Every screen, every workflow, every default was shaped by real daily operations. If it's in Animal Friends OS, it's there because it solved an actual problem at a real facility.
The same software that runs his shop — now available to operators everywhere.
You get a snippet of code that you paste into your website. The widget loads a multi-step booking flow — service selection, pet info, date and time picker, deposit if required, and confirmation. It syncs directly to your live calendar in real time.
Yes. The moment a client submits a booking, it appears in your calendar as a pending appointment. It blocks that slot from being double-booked. You can auto-confirm or review first, depending on your settings.
Yes. You can require a deposit (flat or percentage) for any service type when booked online. The booking doesn't confirm until the deposit clears. This dramatically reduces no-shows for online bookings.
Both. New clients can create a profile as part of the first booking flow. Existing clients log in and their pet profiles and preferences pre-populate automatically.
Yes. Set a minimum lead time (e.g., must book at least 24 hours ahead) and a maximum booking window (e.g., no more than 60 days out). The widget enforces these rules automatically.
Clients get an immediate on-screen confirmation and an SMS confirmation message with the appointment details. The message includes a link to view, confirm, or reschedule from their portal.
Yes. You control which services appear in the online booking widget. Hide services that require a staff consult, are fully booked, or aren't appropriate for new clients.
Yes. Staff preference is an optional step in the booking flow. Clients can choose a preferred groomer or leave it as "no preference" and you'll assign them during confirmation.
The widget only shows available slots based on your live calendar. If there's no room, there's nothing to book. No overbooking risk, no back-and-forth with clients.
Yes. Block any date or date range from being available for online booking. Blocked dates don't appear as options in the widget. The change takes effect immediately.
Yes. The boarding booking flow includes check-in and check-out date pickers, service add-ons (extra walks, bath on checkout, medications), and pet confirmation steps. Long-stay availability is calculated automatically.
Yes. The widget is fully responsive and optimized for mobile. Most client bookings happen from a phone — the flow is designed for small screens first.
No credit card required. No contracts. Set up in under an hour.
