FAQ

Common Questions

Straight answers from an operator who uses this software daily.

Can I set different policies for boarding vs. grooming?

Yes. Cancellation windows and fee amounts are set per service type — boarding can require 48h while grooming uses 24h.

What if a client disputes the no-show fee?

You have a timestamped digital signature of their policy agreement plus the reminder delivery logs — solid documentation.

Will clients get angry about being charged automatically?

Most don't. They agreed to the policy at booking and received reminders. The few who push back can be handled with the exceptions tool.

Can I waive the fee for a first-time no-show?

Yes. The exceptions tool lets you mark a specific charge as waived with a private note — no policy change needed.

Does the waitlist notification go to all waitlisted clients at once?

The first on the waitlist gets 15 minutes to confirm, then it cascades down. Prevents double-booking confusion.
