The core four Freedom Features

Click-to-Price Hourly Billing

How it works

Effortlessly charge your clients by the time it takes to complete any job. No more guessing, endless typing/writing, or confused clients —just clear, fair prices for every minute you work with each pet, summoned with a click.

Groomer Benefit

Automatically calculated and updated time-based prices and calendar slots free you from constantly doing math in your head and adjusting the prices and/or the duration of the appointment in the calendar. Get compensated for the full work without services slipping through the cracks and becoming unbilled work hours.

Client/Pet Owner Benefit

Help your clients know exactly what they’re paying for so they can answer their own questions.

Increase Earnings, Reduce Hours with Client Tiers

How it works

Set different price levels to raise your rates without risking your core revenue. Test higher prices for new clients risk-free to confirm the market’s willingness to pay more. This boosts your confidence to price beyond your comfort zone— while staying within premium clients’ budgets. Higher care standards demand higher prices—essential for making the right clients’ shortlists. (Luxury isn’t cheap.)

Groomer Benefit

Work fewer hours, take weekends off, and enjoy three-day weekends—without hiring or overworking. Tiered pricing lets you earn a higher income, fast yet sustainably, allowing you to cut back on your workload as you wish.

Client/Pet Owner Benefit

Maintaining high-quality services and compassionate care (we can’t pour from an empty jar) allows your clients to enjoy premium, one-on-one, customized care, where their preferences are taken as detail-oriented instead of labeled as being picky.

No-type & Itemized Estimates/Invoices

How it works

While you’re putting together an order, itemized estimates are automatically generated by the software and can be sent out via email with a click.

Groomer Benefit

Skip the pressure of the “on the spot” estimates. Allow yourself time to work up an estimate -without any typing- and show clients exactly what they’re paying for with a clear breakdown of each service. Minimize your admin workload without hiring and free up your time to do something fun instead of customer service that could be automized.

Client/Pet Owner Benefit

Clients see the value of your services in detail on an itemized estimate/invoice, so there’s no need for them to ask, ‘Why does it cost this much?’ No hidden fees, shows professionalism, and helps your clients advocate for your salon over other groomers to win their shortlist when they talk with the financial decision-maker of the family.

Click-to-Hold - Penciled-In Appointments

How it works

Keep control over your schedule without keeping track of penciled-in spots on paper or in your head of which spots you offered to whom. It’s like a built-in, virtual admin who has a perfect memory with unlimited energy and compassion. You can pause the scheduling flow without losing requested services/package data and without confirming what isn’t so. Skip feeling rushed, forced, or frustrated when clients need to check their schedules before they can get back to you.

Groomer Benefit

Less admin work, no schedule chaos, and no need for extra staff—all while keeping full control over your workload. That means fewer no-shows, no overtime or overlaps, and no back-breaking days—so you stay sane, profitable, and energized.

Client/Pet Owner Benefit

Let clients choose from pre-approved (penciled-in) time slots, making them feel valued and in control—without risking your schedule. This small move boosts show-up rates and keeps clients happy and on time.

Testimonials

What groomers are saying …

“My no-show rate is ridiculously low, thanks to the penciled-in appointments and the custom appointment confirmations and reminders. The times are long gone when I manually sent out confirmations TWICE, yet still got no-shows that made my income inpredictable or required me to fight for chargebacks.”

Kate

“ LOVE being able to tell clients that I'll work up an estimate and email it to them instead of playing the ummm.... it'll be from this price to this price right on the spot in person or over the phone. It gives me time to think about how much I should charge, and I can go back and look at the order at checkout because I forget what I told them sometimes… LOL Not one person that I've sent an itemized estimate to has refused. But in the past over the phone or text... yup they'll just say 'too much'.”

Stacy

“The level of hourly billing support and itemized invoices that the software calculates were some of the main reasons I decided to switch. Other software I've tried wasn't very friendly to hourly charging even when it was technically possible, unfortunately. Having better, time-based billing saves admin time and boosts my income faster.”

Rainia

“I used to track my offered-out appointments on paper. It was tedious and my back was killing me, because I had to stop grooming and lift dogs up and down to write down stuff so I don’t forget it, for the sake of filling my calendar to make a living. The penciled-in appointment feature saved me all that headache and backache. No more getting lost on paper in tracking what’s crossed out once or twice and whatnot. When I confirm the appointment a client wants, the rest of the penciled-in spots just conveniently disappear.”

Jessica

“Customer support is FAST and awesome. You don’t see that combo every day in the industry.”

Thomas

“The penciled-in appointments are incredibly useful, especially for those clients who call to book, and then say they’ll need to talk to their spouse and they’ll get back to me later on which spot works best. I can pause the scheduling at any time without forgetting or losing data. I can offer out multiple spots and I don’t need to confirm something that’s not. I can confirm the spot they choose at their and my convenience.”

Sharon

“I NEVER wanted my clients to see my schedule, let alone mess with it on their own. Yet I wanted less scheduling workload. At the Pet Groomer App, the two are finally in balance. I keep control over requested services for each client to make sure they’re a good fit and I offer availability in the form of penciled-in spots. The client portal balances out client and groomer control, that keeps my sanity, frees up my time, and helps me stay in charge of my workdays to preserve my energy and health. No more exhaustion, overlaps, overtime, or the wrong services booked.”

Chrystal

“Taking the leap to open my part-time, home-based business was tough. Using the Pet Groomer App made me and my business show up as a professional dog spa, so clients take my business seriously and find appealing enough to give me a call.”

Isabel

“Client tiers allowed me to risk-free explore the market’s limits and increase my income to $200/hr for my grooming labor rate. Which not only allowed us to buy the house we wanted, but also helped me to reduce my work hours to 6 hours a day and to cut back on my work days to enjoy the pool over a 3-day weekend. No more back pain, no more exhaustion.”
