Grooming Made Esy: cloud-based pet grooming salon software
About EsyPet
EsyPet is cloud-based scheduling, POS, and client management software built for pet grooming salons, mobile groomers, and multi-location grooming businesses. It pairs breed- and groomer-aware online booking with pet parent, groomer, and front desk apps, and adds a free national grooming salon directory that refers pet owners to member salons.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Pay-per-appointment option ($2 or $3) lets low-volume and new groomers avoid a fixed monthly fee
- Booking engine accounts for breed, size, de-matting, behavior, and individual groomer speed
- Separate pet parent, groomer, and front desk apps keep every department on the same live schedule
- Two-month free trial with no credit card, plus free data import and database backups
- Free directory listing can bring new customers without switching away from current software
- Transparent published pricing, including SMS overage rates per plan
Cons
- Young product with no verified user reviews on Capterra yet, so track record is hard to judge
- POS, payroll reports, and AI wellness features require the $149/mo Salon plan or higher
- AI call center booking assistant is still marked as coming soon
- Narrowly focused on grooming; boarding and daycare operations are not a core focus
- US-focused, with a directory and network built around US salons
Key Features
Breed-aware online booking
Appointment slots factor in groomer availability and speed, pet type, breed, size, and service type, with custom booking rules and groomer/bather templates to prevent schedule breaks.
Pet Parent, Groomer, and Front Desk apps
Pet owners book, pay, tip, and update vaccine records in the app, while front desk, groomers, and bathers share one schedule and update grooming status on tablets.
Two-way SMS and status updates
Automatic reminders, confirmations, ready-for-pickup texts, and groom/bath status notifications, with 500 to 1,500 SMS per month included depending on plan.
Integrated payments
Built-in card processing with Apple Pay and Google Pay, card on file, tip management with groomer/bather tip splits, and an option to pass card fees to clients as a cash discount.
Wellness checks and AI health recognition
Each pet gets a check-in wellness check; observed issues trigger product and service recommendations and a wellness report sent to the pet parent (AI health condition recognition on Salon and Signature plans).
Vaccine management
Tracks vaccination records and sends expiry reminders, alongside customer and pet warnings on the booking.
Groom notes with dictation and photos
Form-style groom notes, hands-free voice dictation, and before-and-after photos visible to both the salon and the pet parent.
POS, inventory, and payroll reports
Product sales and inventory, commission and payroll reports, and grooming financial stats on the Salon and Signature plans.
Free grooming salon directory
Salons get a free profile and booking page on the EsyPet national directory with SEO handled by EsyPet, without having to switch their existing software.
Multi-location support
Synced customers, pets, groom notes, payroll, and reporting across locations, with groomers able to work multiple location schedules.

Best For
Independent and mobile groomers
Solo groomers can run online booking, SMS reminders, payments, and vaccine tracking on a pay-per-appointment plan instead of a monthly subscription.
Busy grooming salons
Salons with front desk, groomers, and bathers share one schedule across tablets, send status texts to owners, and track commissions and tip splits.
Multi-location grooming businesses
Chains sync customer, pet, payroll, and reporting data across locations and let pet parents see groomer availability at each site.
Upselling add-on services
Check-in wellness checks and AI health recognition recommend products and services, which are added to the booking and sent to the owner in a report.
Finding new customers
Salons can list free in the EsyPet directory to get bookings from local pet owners, even while keeping their existing software.
