PawScheduler / Mobile dog grooming software
Mobile dog grooming software built for working from a van
What mobile groomers need that a salon doesn't
- A phone-first interface. Your office is the front seat. Everything has to work with one hand and a bad signal, and the days you've opened stay on your phone if you lose signal.
- Bookings that don't need you (Pro). Your hands are in a dog. Clients text your business number and the AI assistant checks your real calendar and offers open times. The client confirms, it lands on your schedule, and you get a push notification.
- Payments without the door-step ask (Pro). After the groom, tap Request Payment. The client gets a text with a secure Stripe link and pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Money goes to your bank; PawScheduler takes no cut.
- Warnings before you walk up. Tags like Bites, Anxious or Senior appear the moment you open the appointment.
- Reminders that protect your day. A no-show in a van costs you drive time as well as the appointment. Email reminders go out automatically, and on Growth and Pro they also go out by text from your own business number.
Your day on a map
On Growth and Pro, open the map and the day's stops are already there in order, with unlimited turn-by-turn directions. On flexible days, Smart Reorder finds the order with the least driving: 15 times a month on Growth, unlimited on Pro. Color-coded service areas help you steer bookings toward the neighborhoods you'll be in.
What PawScheduler does not do
The day map and smart reordering start on Growth ($49.99); Free and Basic don't include the map. There is no multi-van fleet management or team scheduling. If you run several vans and need to sequence stops across drivers, look at a tool built for fleets such as MoeGo. See the PawScheduler vs MoeGo comparison.

Common questions
What is the best software for mobile dog groomers?
It depends on your setup. PawScheduler suits solo and mobile groomers who want phone-first scheduling, reminders, payments and AI text booking, with a day map and turn-by-turn directions on the Growth plan. Groomers running multiple vans should look at fleet-oriented tools like MoeGo.
Does PawScheduler work for mobile groomers without a fixed location?
Yes. Availability and bookings are driven by your schedule and working hours, not a physical address. It works from a salon, a home studio or a van.
Can clients book a mobile groomer by text?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Clients text your dedicated number, and the AI assistant offers real open times, books the appointment, and can handle cancellations under your 24-hour policy.
Does PawScheduler include route planning?
Yes, on Growth ($49.99) and above: your day's stops appear on a map in order with unlimited turn-by-turn directions, and on flexible days Smart Reorder finds the order with the least driving (15 times a month on Growth, unlimited on Pro). Free and Basic don't include the map. There are no multi-van fleet tools.
