Best Booking System for Dog Groomers

If you’re a dog groomer running your business the old-school way by juggling texts, DMs, voicemails, and sticky notes, then you’re not alone. We talk to dog groomers all the time who are incredible with dogs but feel overwhelmed trying to manage their schedule, all while staying visible to potential new clients.

Maybe you’ve thought about using a free scheduling tool like Calendly, or maybe you’re still manually writing down appointments (hey, no shame!). But if you’ve been wondering whether there’s a better way, there is.

Let’s talk about something that could truly change the way you run your dog grooming business: Squarespace’s built-in booking system, and why it’s the tool we recommend (and love) when designing websites for dog groomers at Pixels Unleashed.

What Is Squarespace Scheduling?

Squarespace Scheduling is an all-in-one booking system that’s fully integrated into your dog groomer website. That means your clients can book appointments, pay deposits, fill out intake forms, and even reschedule — all in one place, without needing a third-party app.

It’s powered by Acuity Scheduling (which Squarespace owns), so you’re getting the reliability of a powerful booking engine, but beautifully wrapped into a simple, user-friendly experience.

Why It's Better Than Free Tools (Like Calendly)

Calendly is a great option for basic scheduling — and it’s free, which is tempting when you’re just starting out. But here’s where Squarespace Scheduling really shines, especially for dog groomers:

-It Looks Professional — Because You Are

Free tools often have limited design options or force you to link out to a different site. That creates a disconnected experience for your clients. With Squarespace, your booking page matches your dog groomer brand — same colors, same fonts, same vibe. It makes you look polished, trustworthy, and put-together (which dog parents love).

-Everything in One Place

When we build your dog groomer website on Squarespace, your services, prices, business info, and booking calendar all live in one place. No clicking around. No sending links in DMs. Just a clean, seamless flow from “Ooh, I want to book!” to “Done. See you Tuesday at 2.”

-Automated Reminders (Because You’re Busy)

Squarespace Scheduling sends automatic email or text reminders to your clients so they show up on time — and it also reduces no-shows. You can even customize the messages. One less thing on your plate!

-Intake Forms That Work for You

Want to ask clients about their dog’s breed, temperament, or allergies before the appointment? You can build that right into the booking flow — no follow-up emails needed.

-Payments & Deposits Built In

Tired of chasing down payments or last-minute dog grooming cancellations? You can collect deposits or full payments right when someone books — safely and securely.

How This Helps You Grow Your Dog Grooming Business

Imagine a new client finds your dog groomer site, sees your adorable photos, reads a few great reviews, and instantly books a spot — all without sending a single message. That’s the power of a professional dog groomer website with booking built right in.

Not only does it save you time, it makes you look serious about your work. And when dog parents trust you online, they’re more likely to trust you with their dogs in real life.

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

If setting up a dog groomer website sounds overwhelming — especially when you’re already low on time and energy — that’s exactly where we come in.
