Dog grooming booking system
Let clients book their groom, deposit and all, while you work.
Your own booking page shows only real appointment times, takes a deposit with Stripe to hold the slot and emails a reminder the day before. Your phone stops buzzing mid-blow-dry.

Taking bookings shouldn’t cost you a groom a week.
The no-show you couldn’t protect against. No deposit taken, so when they don’t turn up there’s nothing holding them and nothing to show for the empty slot.
The phone tag. “What have you got next week?” “Can you do a full groom and nails?” Every booking is a string of messages, while a wet spaniel waits.
The wrong-length booking. Someone books a quick tidy and turns up with a matted doodle that needs two hours, and your whole day backs up behind it.
Your booking page fixes all three, between dogs.
How a booking works
Booked, deposit paid, no phone calls.
-
On your page
Anna picks the right groom.
Full groom, bath and tidy or a puppy’s first visit, each with its own length, plus extras like a nail trim.
-
Times
Only real times show.
She only sees times with enough room for that groom, inside your opening hours.
-
Deposit
She pays the deposit.
With Stripe connected, she pays the deposit as she books, after agreeing to your cancellation policy.
-
Confirmed
Confirmed and reminded.
Anna gets a confirmation email, then a reminder the evening before with the time, the price and your policy.
Deposit down, diary filled, not a single phone call.
Your own booking page
Open while your hands are full.
Your dryer’s on and a booking comes in. Share one link on Instagram, your shopfront or your car, and clients book themselves at your prices, for the services you choose to show.
- Your name and logo up front
- Each groom with its own length
- Open every hour you’re at the table
Deposits and extras
A deposit to hold every slot.
Set a deposit on each service and clients pay it by card when they book, with Stripe connected. Extras like nail trims and de-sheds are picked and priced at booking, so the full job is agreed before they arrive.
- Deposit set per service
- Paid extras added at booking
- Reminder emailed the day before

Booking page questions
Can I take a deposit when they book?
Yes. Set a deposit for each service and clients pay it by card when they book. It comes off their final invoice. You’ll need Stripe connected.
Guide: PaymentsWill it remind clients before their appointment?
Yes. Barclo emails a reminder at 6pm the evening before, with the time, the price and your cancellation policy. Fewer no-shows, and fewer “was that today?” messages.
Guide: PoliciesDoes it block the right amount of time?
Yes. Each service has its own length, so clients only see times with enough room for that groom, and your day doesn’t back up.
Guide: ServicesCan clients add extras like nails or teeth?
Yes. Set up paid extras per booking or per dog, and clients pick them as they book. The price is added automatically, so the full job is agreed up front.
Guide: ServicesDo I have to accept every booking?
Your choice. Check each request before it’s booked, or let bookings go straight into your diary. The setting covers your whole booking page.
Guide: BookingsDo I need a website?
No. Your booking page is a link you can share anywhere: Instagram, WhatsApp, your shopfront or your own website if you have one.
Guide: Client booking portalOn iPhone and Android
The salon, in your pocket.
