A mobile grooming day is a set of promises: a 9:00 doodle across town, a 10:30 cat who hates waiting, a nail trim squeezed in on the way, and a Great Dane who takes the whole afternoon. PetGroomBossPro puts every appointment on one schedule with its set time, its van and its pets, auto-routes the day Closest First or Furthest First from the shop, lets you set the order by hand, and confirms tomorrow's visits the day before from Pending Jobs.
Plans start at $59/month, and scheduling, routing and customer alerts come with every plan. To see how the schedule fits with the groomer app, repeat appointments, online booking and billing, start at PetGroomBossPro and then dig into the scheduling side here.
Each appointment carries its set time, so the groomer, the office and the pet owner all work from the same 9:00 or 1:30.
The Scheduled list shows each day's appointments, and a van filter shows just one van's day.
Closest First or Furthest First from your shop or home base, then adjust the order by hand where you need to.
Pending Jobs lines up tomorrow's repeat visits first. One click keeps each visit's planned day, time and van.
Night-before reminders, on-the-way and arrived texts. Pet owners choose which alerts they want.
Every van shows on the office map, and pet owners see their place in line on a live map.
A mobile groomer cannot just run the closest house next. Some owners need the van by 9:00 before work, some pets take three hours, and some stops are a ten-minute nail trim. PetGroomBossPro shows the set time, the pets, their size and coat, and the add-ons on every card, so the person building the day can see which stops are fixed and which can move.
Most mobile groomers build tomorrow tonight, between the last groom and dinner. PetGroomBossPro is set up for exactly that: tomorrow's repeat visits are already waiting with their planned time and van, new requests sit on their own tab, and routing takes a click.
Enter clients by hand or by CSV import. Imported addresses are placed on the map automatically. Set up your vans and the groomers and bathers who ride in them.
Add Recurring Grooming puts a client on the same weekday, time and van every 4, 6 or 8 weeks, or whatever schedule they pick.
The day before, open the tomorrow tab, confirm the visits, place any No Day requests, and auto-route or set the order.
Each groomer sees the day in order with set times, navigation and every pet on the card. Pet owners get their texts automatically.
A shop groomer schedules chairs. A mobile groomer schedules a van that has to drive between every appointment. A plain calendar shows the times but not the drive, the pets or the order, so the day gets built twice: once on the calendar and again on a map.
Ask a mobile groomer how the book really runs and you will hear the same story: a paper planner with arrows drawn between days, a 9:00 on one side of town followed by a 10:30 on the other, and a text thread where a customer moved her appointment and nobody wrote it down. The doodle that ran long. The nail trim that could have fit in on the way. The client who forgot it was grooming day and left for work with the dog inside.
That belongs on one schedule, with the time, the van and the pets on every stop. When it is, anyone in the business can see the day, and the groomer stops rebuilding it from memory each morning.
PetGroomBossPro keeps the appointment, the route, the pets and the customer in one place, from the first booking request to the paid invoice.
Every tool here exists to get a van through a full day of appointments on time, with less driving and fewer phone calls.

Repeat clients are written up front on Pending Jobs with their planned day, time and van. New requests from the Book Now page and the request form arrive too, and the ones without a day wait on the No Day tab. The day before, the office confirms tomorrow, places the new requests, auto-routes from the shop or sets the order by hand, and the groomer's phone shows the same order with the same times.

A mobile groom only works if the pet is there and the owner knows it is grooming day. 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 tell the owner when to expect the van. Replies come back to the office through two-way texting, and after the groom the invoice, online payment and tipping are in the customer app.
