Stop losing time to double-bookings, phone tag, and paper books. One calendar that runs your entire grooming operation — automatically.
Handwritten appointment books get smudged, lost, or left at the shop. When two people are scheduling simultaneously, double-bookings happen constantly.
Spreadsheets don't enforce buffer time, don't send reminders, and can't be accessed by clients. You're doing all the work that software should handle for you.
Every booking requires a phone call back and forth. Staff time disappears. Clients get frustrated. Nights and weekends slip away to scheduling.
Visual day and week views with per-groomer columns. Move an appointment to any open slot in a couple of taps. No double-bookings, ever.
Bath & brush, full groom, de-shed, nail trim — each service type gets its own color. Read your entire day at a glance without opening a single booking.
Set buffer time per service type. The system enforces it automatically so every appointment has the breathing room it needs.
See every groomer's day side by side. Spot availability gaps, balance workloads, and reassign an appointment to another groomer in a couple of taps.
Set clients on 4-, 6-, or 8-week cycles. The system auto-books their next slot and sends a confirmation — zero manual work.
Hard booking rules prevent two appointments from overlapping on the same groomer at the same time. Buffer time is enforced automatically.
This feature wasn't designed from a spec sheet. It was built by Chase after years of managing scheduling — manually tracking every groomer's column in a spreadsheet while fielding calls and texts for every single booking 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.
Yes. Each staff member gets their own column in the calendar view so you can see all bookings side by side, spot gaps, and avoid double-booking instantly.
Absolutely. You can set a default buffer time per service type (e.g., 15 minutes after a full groom) and the system enforces it automatically — no double-bookings, no rushed transitions.
Open the appointment and change the time slot or the assigned groomer. The change saves instantly, the calendar updates for everyone on the team, and the client's confirmation reflects the new details.
You set the interval (every 4, 6, or 8 weeks) and the system auto-books the next slot at checkout or from the client's profile. Clients get a confirmation automatically.
Yes. The embeddable booking widget pulls from your live calendar and only shows slots that have room — based on staff availability, buffer time, and any manual blocks you've set.
You can block any time range on any groomer's schedule with a single click — for lunch, a break, training, or a personal appointment. Blocked time won't show as available to clients.
Yes. Appointments are color coded by service type by default (bath & brush, full groom, de-shed, etc.), so you can read your day at a glance without opening each booking.
Both views are available. Day view shows all staff columns side by side. Week view shows a condensed overview. Toggle between them with one click.
You can edit any booking directly from the calendar — change the service, duration, price, or time. The client gets an updated confirmation via SMS automatically.
Yes. The dashboard is fully mobile-responsive so staff can check their schedule from their phone. No app download required — it runs in the browser.
Yes. Business hours are configurable by day of the week. You can also mark specific dates as closed (holidays) and the booking widget will block those days automatically.
You control the booking window. Set a minimum lead time (e.g., must book 24 hours ahead) and a maximum advance booking window (e.g., no more than 60 days out).
No credit card required. No contracts. Set up in under an hour.
