Smart scheduling for groomers
Book enough time for each dog and groomer.
Set booking times by experience, size and coat. Plan who does each step, and keep new bookings closer together.
Time by experience
Set booking time by your groomer’s experience.
A junior groomer may need longer than an experienced one. Set a slower or quicker pace for each experience level, so their bookings allow the time they need.
You set the pace.
Time for each dog
Add time for size, weight or coat condition.
A thick coat can need more grooming time. Set where the extra minutes go: bathing, grooming or drying. You don’t have to adjust every booking by hand.
| Step | Usual time | Thick coat |
|---|---|---|
| Bath | 15 min | 15 min |
| Groom | 30 min | 45 min+15 min |
| Dry | 15 min | 15 min |
| Total | 60min | 75min |
Your service steps
Choose which steps need your groomer or an assistant.
Set time for your assistant to help with bathing, drying or finishing. Your groomer can take another booking during that work. No assistant? Keep the whole groom with your groomer.
Set different steps for each service.
Choose the order and time for a bath, a full groom or any other service you offer.
Allow time for a treatment to work.
Add a pause between hands-on steps, where the dog’s care permits.

Day packing
Offer new bookings closer to the ones you already have.
One groom at nine, another at three. You’re left waiting in between. Turn on day packing to offer nearby times and leave fewer gaps.
Choose where bookings gather.
Mornings, afternoons or either end of the day. You can also concentrate bookings around fewer team members.
Open more times closer to the day.
With adaptive settings, choose when all available times open for last-minute bookings. Your staff still see every available time, and existing appointments stay put.
