FOR HOUSE-CALL GROOMERS
Walk into every home ready to groom.
OpenDog keeps the address, entry instructions, pet notes, service details, payment status, and next visit together—so you are not searching through texts at the door.
- Entry and parking notes in reach
- Pet behavior and service history together
- Payment and next-visit follow-up stay connected
Repeat-visit memory
Remember the dog after the first house call.
Keep behavior, coat, service history, owner context, payment status, and next-visit notes close enough to use before the next appointment.
Know the home before you arrive.
Open the visit with the full service address, entry notes, parking details, setup instructions, service, groomer assignment, and payment status in one place. OpenDog stores what the business enters so the groomer can review it before walking up to the door.
Remember the dog, not just the address.
Keep behavior notes, coat history, service history, owner preferences, and care context with the pet record so repeat visits do not depend on memory or old text threads.
Finish the visit while it is still fresh.
After the groom, save field notes, check the invoice or payment status, and keep follow-up tied to the appointment instead of rebuilding it later from separate apps.
Make the next visit easier.
Use the saved appointment and pet context to decide what happens next. OpenDog keeps suggested next-visit and rebooking context visible, while the groomer or owner reviews and makes the decision.
House-call workflow
The details that matter before and after the visit.
Before you knock

Inside the home
Keep the dog’s behavior, coat notes, owner preferences, and service history close while the visit is still active.
After the groom
Save field notes, check payment or invoice status, and keep the next-visit follow-up tied to the appointment record.
FAQ
Common questions from grooming businesses.
Does OpenDog work if I do not have a grooming van?
Yes. OpenDog fits house-call groomers who work inside a client home and still need appointments, addresses, pet records, notes, payment status, and follow-up in one workflow.
What home or access notes can I store?
You can save entry instructions, parking details, setup space, prep notes, and handling reminders. The groomer can review them before arriving and still confirm the real conditions at the home.
How can I share prep instructions?
Keep prep details with the visit and send them through your usual client communication. Email reminders are available in the appointment workflow.
Who decides pricing, route changes, and rebooking?
You do. OpenDog keeps the dog, service, price, route, payment, and next-visit details together so the groomer or owner can make the decision.
