Built for How Your Business Actually Works

Every feature designed by an operator who runs a multi-service pet care facility — not a software company guessing at your problems.

Individual Staff Schedules

Each employee sees only their own schedule — their appointments, their hours, their notes. No confusion, no shared Google Sheets with everyone's data.

Shift Reminders by SMS

Staff get a morning text with their day's appointments and any special notes. Show-up rate improves when people actually know what they're walking into.

Real-Time Schedule Changes

When a booking is cancelled, rescheduled, or added, the affected staff member gets a text immediately. No one shows up for an appointment that doesn't exist.

Availability Management

Staff can mark days off, vacation, or limited availability in the system. Scheduling works around their availability automatically — no conflicts.

Service Assignment by Staff

Route specific service types to specific staff. Only groomers can receive grooming bookings. Only certified trainers receive training sessions. Built-in, configurable.

Clock-In & Clock-Out Tracking

Staff clock in and out from their phone. Timeclock data feeds directly into payroll reporting — hours worked by employee, by day, by pay period.

Performance Visibility

See services completed, average ticket, client rebooking rate, and attendance record per employee. Manage with data, not gut feeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can staff see their own schedule without seeing other employees' bookings?
Yes. Each staff member logs in with their own account and sees only their schedule and their clients' information. Admins see the full calendar.
How does shift reminders work?
Each morning, staff receive an SMS with their appointments for the day — client name, pet name, service, and any special notes. Completely automated — no admin action required.
Can I track staff hours for payroll?
Yes. Staff clock in and out via the mobile interface. The system logs their hours. At the end of the pay period, you export a timesheet report — hours worked per employee for the pay period.
What if a staff member calls in sick and I need to reassign appointments?
From the scheduling dashboard, you can bulk-reassign all of a staff member's appointments for a given day to available staff. Affected clients receive an automatic notification of the reassignment.
Is there an app for staff to use on their phones?
Animal Friends OS is web-based and works on any smartphone browser — no app download required. Staff access their schedule, client notes, and clock-in from any device.
