Paws Planner

The all-in-one app built for dog groomers and dog walkers. Manage clients, book appointments, see driving times between every stop, and send reminders in seconds.

Paws Planner is built for dog groomers, dog walkers, salons, and small pet care businesses.

Manage clients, dogs, bookings, reminders, payments, forms, income, travel, and backups from one simple iPhone app.

Built around the way pet care businesses actually work, Paws Planner helps you stay organised whether you are mobile, salon-based, walking dogs, grooming dogs, or doing a mix of both.

YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE

The Dashboard shows today’s appointments, client details, appointment status, weekly stats, monthly income, revenue charts, and tomorrow’s schedule.

For mobile businesses, Paws Planner shows driving times between stops. If you run from a fixed location, Salon Mode lets you hide travel times and use your business address instead.

CLIENTS, DOGS AND HISTORY

Keep every client and dog in one place.

Search by client name, dog name, or address. View contact details, dog notes, photos, visit history, spend history, signed forms, appointment records, and payment history.

Multiple dogs from the same household can be added to one appointment.

SMART CALENDAR

See your month at a glance with colour-coded availability. Tap any day to book quickly.

Paws Planner warns you about double bookings, closed days, overlapping appointments, and working hour conflicts.

Create one-off bookings or recurring appointments for regular clients, such as “Bella every 6 weeks”.

SMS AND WHATSAPP REMINDERS

Send appointment reminders by SMS or WhatsApp with one tap.

Set each client’s preferred reminder method and use custom templates that automatically fill in client name, dog name, date, and time.

PAYMENTS AND REPORTS

Track payments inside each appointment.

Record cash, card, bank transfer, or other payment methods. Mark appointments as paid or unpaid, then view income reports with date and payment filters.

CUSTOM FORMS AND TERMS

Create your own intake forms and terms and conditions.

Clients can complete and sign forms on screen. Signed PDFs are saved to the client profile and can optionally be emailed to the client.

Forms work offline, making them useful in the van, at a client’s home, or in a salon.

BUILT FOR GROOMERS, WALKERS OR BOTH

Choose dog grooming, dog walking, or both in Settings. Paws Planner adapts services and wording to match your business.

You can also edit your services list to match what you actually offer.

SYNC, CONTACTS AND NAVIGATION

Sync bookings to your iPhone Calendar and share your calendar with family or staff.

Use iOS Contacts to pick existing clients or save new clients back to your phone.

Tap an address to navigate with Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze.

BACKUPS AND DATA

Your business data stays under your control.

Paws Planner supports automatic backups, manual export and restore, and iCloud Drive backups, helping protect your data if your phone is lost, replaced, or damaged.

WHO IT’S FOR
