A clearer day

See the route, dog, and invoice at a glance.

OpenDog brings the details that matter most closer to the appointment, so the next stop feels less rushed.

Start the day with fewer surprises

See today's appointments, route readiness, and unpaid balances before the van is already moving.

Bring the right notes to the next dog

Keep the service address, pet notes, client details, and appointment history close before you arrive.

Know the money before you leave

See invoice totals, receipts, balances, and payment progress without searching through a separate app.

OpenDog invoice screen showing invoice total, payment progress, receipts, balance due, and customer visit details.

Plan a route that protects your day.

See service areas, drive time, customer windows, appointment length, buffers, route order, groomers, and vans before you confirm the schedule. You can reorder and recalculate; confirmed appointments change only when you choose.

Plan Better Routes

Let clients ask without taking over the calendar.

Customers can send the pet, service, timing, address, and contact details you need. You decide whether the route, service area, schedule, and pet needs make sense before anything is confirmed.

See Booking Requests

Know the dog before you knock.

Keep client details, pet notes, photos, grooming history, preferences, behavior notes, health cautions, and household context close to the visit so the next groom does not depend on memory.

See Pet Records

Get paid without another chase list.

Create invoices, track balances and receipts, take secure Stripe card payments after setup, use deposits when enabled, and keep rebooking close to the finished groom. Customers approve saved-card charges.

See Invoices & Payments

Keep the next visit moving.

Live email confirmations, reminders, reports, exports, setup help, and AI suggestions with your setup help you follow up with the right clients. SMS and on-my-way texts are still Coming Soon.

FAQ

Common questions from grooming businesses.

Where should I start?

Start with the parts that protect tomorrow: route planning, booking requests, pet notes, invoices, email reminders, and rebooking.

Can clients book without my approval?

No. Clients send requests. You confirm appointments only after checking route fit, service area, timing, availability, and pet needs.

Will OpenDog move appointments on its own?

No. OpenDog can help estimate drive time, reorder stops, and recalculate the day, but confirmed appointments change only when you decide.

What reminders are live?

Email confirmations and reminders are live. SMS/texting and on-my-way texts remain Coming Soon.

How do payments, deposits, and saved cards work?

OpenDog supports invoices, balances, receipts, secure Stripe card payments when payment setup is ready, and deposits when enabled. Customers approve saved-card charges.

Do reports replace accounting software?

No. Reports and CSV exports help you understand appointments, clients, pets, services, invoices, payments, and rebooking. They are not tax, payout, settlement, or accounting-sync records.

Can OpenDog help with setup or imports?

Yes. You can use setup help, CSV import preview, and AI suggestions when enabled. What moves depends on the file you bring in, and you check details before relying on them.
