Pet services software for the groomer's calendar
It is 11 PM on a Tuesday. The alarm goes off at 5:17. You are doing math — is Mrs. Hernandez confirmed for Thursday, is the Brennan dog's rabies still good, who covers Tom's Cedar Lane walks if he texts out at 6:42 AM again. After enough years of this, the business is running you more than you are running it. Appointible is the appointment software for the owner who runs boarding, daycare, walking, sitting, training, or mobile grooming.
Built for the 5-to-25-staff pet services operator. Not the consumer marketplaces. Not the enterprise kennel suites. Not paper.
You are too big for the consumer marketplaces and too small for a PE-owned platform with a five-month chat support response. You run multi-night boarding, weekly daycare, walker routes, training, and mobile groom appointments — most software was built for one of those, never all of them. You glued the rest together with paper, Outlook, Excel, and 14 chat threads at 6 AM. The glue is failing. Appointible was built for the in-between, with custom appointment and client fields for vaccine records, multi-pet client profiles, and free onboarding assistance with Pro. Setup is the part that breaks people. Free import / export and onboarding help take it off your plate.
Online Booking
Pet parents book the right service for the right dog while you are mid-intake.
Multi-night boarding, recurring daycare, training, mobile grooming — one page
Generic schedulers cannot handle a five-night Thanksgiving boarding stay, a Tuesday-Thursday daycare cadence, a six-session training run, and a mobile groom from the same household. Most of the enterprise kennel software is extremely overwhelming — too many pages just to check someone in. Appointible models the shape of pet services. Pet parents pick boarding nights against your room and equipment booking, daycare against your team booking, training against the right trainer, a walk with the right walker, grooming by the breed. Durations, price types (from–to, fixed, varies), and rules match how your business actually runs — not how a hair-salon scheduler thinks it should.
Vaccine records captured before the booking confirms
You know the 7:11 AM scene. The pet parent is at the desk, the dog is on a leash, the next three families stacking behind them. You are searching three places for the rabies certificate. They start saying 'I sent those.' They didn't. Your front desk ends up making half a dozen calls to one vet just to chase a single dog's records, while the customer acts like it should have been effortless. Appointible's custom appointment and client fields capture rabies, distemper, and bordetella expiry on the booking page, with a notes-and-labels flag on the pet profile so the front desk sees the gap before drop-off, not at it.
Two dogs, two services, one drop-off
Mrs. Hernandez has two boxers. One boards Thursday to Sunday in separate suites. The other does daycare Friday. Most software treats this as a fake second client and a sticky note. Appointible was built around multi-pet households because that is the norm, not the exception. One pet parent, multiple dogs, multiple services, one drop-off in client management.
Communication
The 6 AM group text and the walker who texts out at 6:42 — handled.
Walker, sitter, and trainer schedules that don't live in a group text
Right now your walker schedules are confirmed in 14 chat threads at 6 AM. The trainer's Tuesday roster is a printed sheet. The sitter's tuck-in visits — four weeks straight with no time off — are tracked nowhere. When Tom texts 'I'm out today' at 6:42 AM, the cascade is yours alone. Appointible gives each walker, sitter, trainer, and groomer their own column, service list, and mobile view. Tom's keys and his Tuesday-Thursday dogs are not in your head anymore.
Reminders that bring the regulars back
Your best revenue is the regulars — the weekly daycare crew, the every-six-week groom, the Sunday walk, the monthly training tune-up. Right now you are the rebooking system. Plenty of operators lose a full week each month-end reconciling schedule changes and walker invoices — a quarter of their working life. Book the next visit at pickup, and let Appointible send the reminder before each one with a one-tap link to rebook the regulars who like to do it themselves. The old way leaves you almost phobic about opening your own inbox.
Photos and pickup-ready texts from your business number
Pet parents are emotional about their dogs in a way most clients are not about most services. The mid-stay boarding photo, or the after-shot from a mobile groom, is the highest-leverage piece of communication you have. Two-way text lets you send a photo from your business number — without losing it in a WhatsApp thread, without giving out your personal cell. That is how a one-time training intake becomes a regular daycare client, and how a daycare client becomes the every-week regular.
Operations
Stop being the only person who knows where the bookings live.
Kennel, daycare floor, and training-room rooms you can actually see
A holiday week is not just appointment slots. It is kennel suites, daycare floor, training rooms, and mobile groom vans. Right now the limits live in your head, which is why every September you stack another year of 'after the holidays.' Appointible's room booking and equipment booking model each suite, training room, and van as a separate bookable resource — once a suite is booked, that resource stops showing as open for the same nights. The limits live on the calendar instead of in your head. We have seen operators work 31 days straight through a holiday stretch and land in complete burnout.
The hostage situation, ended
The 3 AM thought is the same in every operator: the walker schedule for next week lives in your head, and if you were out tomorrow nobody would know which keys go to which houses. That is not a business — it is a hostage situation where you are both people. Indispensability is the cage. Appointible makes you replaceable in the right places — the calendar, the vaccine records, the route assignments — so you can be irreplaceable in the only place that matters, with the dogs.
Pay per user. Import for free. Talk to a person.
Most pet care software is priced for a 50-suite kennel. You have 5-25 staff. You should not be paying enterprise pricing — or waiting five months for chat support. With a lot of the big platforms, the brand on the door is not who is actually sitting in the office when you need help, and operators end up warning each other away. Appointible is per user — Pro is $5/user/month billed annually ($60/user/year) or $8/user/month month-to-month, with a Free plan up to 4 users and 200 appointments/month. Free import / export and free onboarding assistance with Pro keep cutover painless.

SMS marketing that fills cancelled holiday slots.
A five-night Thanksgiving boarding cancels at 11 AM — a $700 hole no phone call will fill. Send an SMS campaign with a 'last-minute suite open' message in three taps to your client segment. A text reaches the pet parent where the phone call never does. Your gap fills before lunch, instead of becoming the four luxury suites that sit empty over a holiday weekend.
Explore SMS Marketing SoftwareSee what 84-hour weeks are actually earning you.
Your revenue lives in your head and a stack of paper invoices. The insights dashboard shows no-show rates, which walker fills fastest, which suites sit empty, which pet parents have not been in for ten weeks. You stop guessing.
Explore Business Insights SoftwareAutomated reminders that end the day-before phone calls.
Stop calling every pet parent the night before drop-off. Appointible sends the day-before boarding reminder, the morning-of daycare nudge, and a one-tap confirmation for every service. The feature owners cite first when they describe getting their evenings back.
Explore Appointment Reminders SoftwareA scheduling app for the apron pocket and the walker's glove.
You are at the kennel, on the daycare floor, or in a mobile groom van. The mobile app lets you check the day, add a walk-in, or send a pickup-ready text — and the walker with cold hands at 6:30 AM does not get logged out mid-route.
Explore Employee Scheduling AppStaff management for the multi-service reality.
Most pet care software assumes one service line. You run four. Set each person's hours, the services they are cleared for (boarding intake, daycare, training, mobile groom, sitting visits), and which dogs they can handle. Per-user pricing — $5/user/month annual on Pro — scales as you add staff.
Explore Employee Management SoftwarePet profiles and vaccine records in one place.
You remember dogs, not people. Every dog gets a profile in client management with notes and labels — breed, weight, coat, temperament, separation needs, training stage, allergies, behavior flags — nested under the pet parent. Rabies, distemper, and bordetella captured as custom fields and flagged before each booking, not chased at drop-off.
