A mobile grooming day is a line of driveways, each with its own pets, its own cut, its own nervous dog and its own spot to plug in the van. PetGroomBossPro puts the day's appointments in order with their set times on the groomer's phone, with one-tap navigation, every pet's breed, size, coat and cut notes on the card, add-ons and van notes, a per-pet grooming checklist, before-and-after photos, automatic on-the-way and arrived texts, and a card-on-file charge when the groom is done.
Plans start at $59/month, and the groomer app is part of every plan. The day in order, navigation, pet details, the grooming checklist, photos, customer texts and payment at completion come with the platform, not as an add-on. To see how the groomer app fits with Pending Jobs, repeat appointments, online booking and billing, start at PetGroomBossPro and then dig into the groomer's side here.
Each groomer sees their own appointments in route order with the set time on every card. Finish one dog, read the next card, roll to the next curb.
Name, dog or cat, breed, size, coat and cut notes for each pet at the home, so the groomer knows the job before the clippers come out.
Coat and skin on arrival through the final brush-out, plus the add-ons, ticked for each pet and saved with the appointment.
Photos taken in the app stay with the appointment for the day someone asks why the ears were left long.
On-the-way and arrived texts go out on their own, so the dog is ready at the door when the van pulls up.
Complete creates the invoice and can charge the card on file before the van leaves the curb.
Whoever booked the home already wrote down the pets, their breed and size, the coat, the cut and the add-ons, plus where the van parks and where the outlet is. PetGroomBossPro keeps all of it on the appointment and fills the next visit in from the last one, so the groomer reads it once at the curb instead of calling the office or guessing at last time's blade.
Groomers did not get into this work to fill out forms on a phone with wet hands. PetGroomBossPro asks for a few taps per appointment and gives back the address, the pets, the cut, the way in and a quieter office phone. It runs in the browser on the iPhones and Android phones your team already carries, with no app store download.
Set up each groomer and bather with a personal PIN, assign them to a van, and add your clients with their pets, cuts and van notes.
Every 4, 6 or 8 weeks on the same weekday, time and van. Each visit waits on Pending Jobs until the office confirms it.
The office sets each van's order on the Scheduled list, by hand or by auto-routing from the shop, and the phone shows the same order and times.
Log in with company login and PIN, tap navigation, read the pets, tap Start, work the checklist, take the photos, tap Complete.
Most field-service apps give a job an address and a notes box. A mobile grooming appointment is two dogs and a cat, three coats, three cuts, one pet who hates the dryer, a teeth brushing someone paid for and a driveway with the only outlet behind the trash cans. An app that only knows the address leaves half of every appointment in someone's memory.
Ask any mobile groomer how the day really runs and you will hear the same story: a paper planner that was out of date by 9am, a cut written on a sticky note that fell behind the seat, and a regular whose owner is sure last time the face was shorter. Whether the nail grinding was paid for. Whether the doodle goes in the muzzle for nails. Where the van can park without blocking the neighbor. Whether anybody told the owner the van was 20 minutes out.
That information belongs on the pet and the home, not on a clipboard or in one groomer's head. When it shows up on the phone and carries forward to the next visit, any groomer can take any van and the office stops reading cut notes over the phone.
PetGroomBossPro keeps the appointment, the pets, the home and the customer in one place, from the first booking request to the paid invoice.
Every tool here exists to get groomers through a full day of driveways with fewer phone calls, fewer wrong cuts and fewer forgotten add-ons.
Groomers sign in with your company login and a personal PIN, so every appointment, photo and clock-in belongs to the right person.
Each groomer sees their own appointments in route order with the set time on each card, and the list follows when the office moves one.
One tap from the appointment card opens directions to the address.
Each pet on the card: name, dog or cat, breed, size from Toy to Giant, and coat from Short to Curly / Doodle.
"#7 blade body, teddy bear face." "Nervous with the dryer." "Muzzle for nails." On the pet, every visit.
The groomer or office types the rabies due date on each pet, and it shows on the card.
Teeth brushing, nail grinding, de-shed, ear cleaning, bandanas and whatever else you set up, ticked on the appointment.
Where to park, the gate code, the outlet and the water hookup, on the card before the van stops.
For each pet, coat and skin on arrival through the final brush-out, plus the add-ons and a note for the customer.
Three buttons tell the office what is underway, what is done, and what was skipped.
Pictures of the groom saved with the appointment.
Sent automatically. Customers choose night before, when they are next, and when the groomer arrives.
Complete creates the invoice and can charge the card on file. Customers can add a tip on the paid invoice.
Groomers and bathers clock in and out on the same phone, so hours are recorded as they happen.
Van locations show on the office map, so the office knows which groomer is closest.
Start $59, Pro $89 and Crew $199 per month, with the groomer app on every plan.
The groomer's list starts on Pending Jobs, a map and list of planned repeat visits and new requests. Repeat appointments every 4, 6 or 8 weeks are written up front with their planned day, time and van, and the office confirms them the day before with one click. The office sorts each van on the Scheduled list, auto-routes Closest First or Furthest First from the shop, and the phone shows the same order and times. As groomers tap Complete, the office sees the checklist, the photos and the invoice. For a full walkthrough of the groomer's day, read Dog Grooming App: The Complete Guide for Mobile Groomers and Their Vans.
A mobile groom only works if somebody is home to hand over the dog. Automatic reminders the night before, on-the-way and arrived texts as the groomer works the route, and a live map in the customer app all tell the owner when to expect the van. Replies come back to the office through two-way texting, and when the groom is complete the invoice, online payment, card on file and a tip button are all in the customer app.

Their appointments for the day in order, each with its set time. Each card has the address with a navigation button, every pet at the home (up to 4 per visit) with name, dog or cat, breed, size, coat, rabies due date and cut and behavior notes, the add-ons on the appointment, van notes such as parking, gate code and outlet, and past notes. They tap Start, Skip or Complete, work the per-pet grooming checklist, take before-and-after photos, and the customer gets automatic on-the-way and arrived texts.
No app store download. The app runs in the browser on iPhone and Android and can be installed to the home screen. Groomers log in with your company login and their own personal PIN.
Yes. Each pet is marked Dog or Cat, with its own breed, size, coat and notes, so cat grooms and lion cuts sit on the same card as the dogs at that home.
The office sees the appointment done with its checklist, photos and the note for the customer, the invoice is created, and a card on file can be charged. The office can print a Grooming Report for the customer, and the next visit at that home fills in the pets and cut notes from this one.
Yes. Employees each have their own PIN and are assigned to a van, so a groomer and a bather can work the same van's day, each clocking in on their own.
Start is $59/month, Pro is $89/month, and Crew is $199/month. The groomer app is on every plan, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
