Appointment book
A column for each groomer, with visits color-coded by status. Missing vaccines get a red border, and blocked time and closed days are built in.
Custom software for grooming & pet businesses
Software built by groomers, for groomers.
DaySmart and Gingr were built by software companies. We built ours inside a working grooming business, and now we build yours: a custom system shaped around how your shop books, grooms, checks out and keeps in touch.

What we can build
Everything your front desk and floor need
Pick the pieces your shop needs. Every screen is shaped around your services, pricing, policies and team. Screens on this page use sample data.
Check-in & Today's board
Drag dogs from Expected to In our care to Ready to Completed. The front desk sees the whole day at a glance.
Client & pet profiles
Vaccines checked at check-in (AI reads uploaded records), notes, photos, preferred groomer and history, with duplicate clients merged.
Texting that never misses
Reminders clients confirm by reply, pickup texts with a photo report card, review requests, rebooking, win-backs and missed-call text-back.
Checkout & payments
Card readers on your own Stripe account, deposits, gift cards, packages, tips, and a cash drawer that closes with a recap.
Boarding & daycare
Stays, daycare passes and packs, lodging, and add-on upsells like a bath before pickup.
Your team
Sign-in with a one-time code or PIN, a time clock, tasks, memos staff must acknowledge, and performance forms.
Reports & client app
Sales, rebooking and groomer reports, a nightly owner email, and a client app for booking and pet records.
Our story
We built our own first
Tino's Pet Grooming ran on DaySmart until the software stopped fitting how we work. So we built Pet OS around our groomers, our front desk and our clients: 27,000+ appointments moved over, 25 built-in reports, and an estimated $10K+ a year saved.
Now we build the same kind of system for other shops. It isn't a copy of ours. It's shaped around your shop.

Custom vs. off-the-shelf
Why build your own?
| Topic | DaySmart, Gingr, MoeGo and others | Your custom system |
|---|---|---|
| Who built it | Software companies | A grooming business, with groomers at the table |
| How it fits | You change how you work to fit the software | It's built around how your shop already works |
| Changes | Feature requests wait in a queue | We build what you need, often within days |
| Monthly cost | Per-location subscription, plus paid add-ons | One flat care plan per location |
| Your data | Hard to export if you leave | Yours, with a full export anytime |
How it works
From walkthrough to launch day
- Step 1
Shop walkthrough
We spend time at your shop, at the desk and on the floor, to learn how a day really runs.
- Step 2
Blueprint & quote
A clear plan of screens and features with a fixed price. No surprises.
- Step 3
Build & move your data
We build your system and bring over clients, pets, vaccines and future appointments.
- Step 4
Train & go live
Hands-on training for your team and a launch day with us on call.
- Step 5
Care plan
Hosting, updates, backups, support and small changes every month.
Pricing
A fixed build price, then one flat monthly plan
You get a written quote before any work starts. Pay 50% to start and 50% at launch, or spread it out with an interest-free payment plan. Your care plan only starts once your system is live. It covers hosting, backups, updates, support and up to 2 hours of changes a month.
