For solo mobile groomers
Solo mobile groomer software for the day you run alone.
OpenDog helps you know the next stop, remember the dog, review new requests before they affect the route, track payment status, and keep rebooking follow-up out of your head.
- Next stop and route context
- Dog care details stay close
- Payment and rebooking follow-up
After the groom
Keep the dog, payment, and next visit from living in your head.
See the visit details a solo groomer can review after the stop: service area, payment status, care notes, and rebooking follow-up tied to the appointment.
You are the groomer and the back office.
Solo mobile work gets heavy when the route is in one place, pet notes are in another, invoices are separate, and the next visit depends on memory after a long day.
- See the day by route, appointment, dog, and status.
- Keep customer, pet, service, and payment context near the visit.
- Give follow-up a place to live before it becomes another text thread.
Know the next stop before you pull away.
OpenDog keeps the selected date, owner groomer, service area, appointment window, route actions, and day flags close to the schedule. It helps you review the day; it does not promise automatic pricing, profit analysis, or route decisions.
- Check route context before accepting work.
- Review service area and timing in the same working day.
- Open route and dispatch views when the day needs attention.
Walk up remembering the dog.
Each appointment can keep the client, pet, service, safety note, preference, deposit, and invoice context together, so the stop starts with the details that matter.
- See care notes before the groom.
- Keep service and owner context tied to the appointment.
- Review payment status without switching tools.
Review requests before they touch the route.
Clients can send useful grooming requests, but OpenDog keeps the business owner in control of confirmation. You decide whether the dog, service, address, timing, and route fit.
- Requests stay review-first.
- Service area and route fit stay visible before confirmation.
- The calendar changes when you choose the appointment details.
Close the loop after the groom.
OpenDog helps keep receipts, balances, deposits, and suggested next visits close to the appointment, so getting paid and rebooking do not have to live in your head at the end of the day.
- Track what was paid and what still needs attention.
- Keep the dog’s next grooming window visible.
- Start with the solo plan and add team tools later if the business grows.
FAQ
Common questions from grooming businesses.
Is OpenDog too much for one groomer?
No. The solo workflow starts with the route, clients, pets, requests, invoices, receipts, payment status, and rebooking follow-up one groomer needs first.
Does OpenDog calculate my drive-time pricing?
No. OpenDog shows route context, service area, appointment timing, and reviewed drive information so you can make better scheduling decisions. It does not calculate profit, set prices, or automatically optimize the business.
Can I keep my current clients and pet notes?
Yes. Setup starts with the clients, pets, notes, services, and appointment habits you already use, then helps you organize the pieces that matter most for the first live week.
Can customers request appointments without controlling my calendar?
Yes. OpenDog request pages collect the details you need to review. You confirm the appointment only after the dog, service, timing, address, and route fit.
What should a solo groomer set up first?
Start with your service area, active clients and pets, services, current schedule, request rules, and the follow-up task that costs the most time.
