Grooming software that actually gets groomers

If you're running your rounds off a paper diary, three group chats and a notes app, you're not alone — that's how I started too. PawRoute keeps your bookings, payments, routes and clients in one place, so you can get back to the pups (and the kitties).

Built for the working day, not a boardroom

Recurring bookings & progress

Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or custom intervals. Every booking in a series shows a "3 of 6 · 4 upcoming" badge so you never lose count.

🐶🐱

Dogs and Cats

A branded page where new clients book at 11pm Sundays. Existing clients sign agreements, pay, and track loyalty points.

Stripe deposits & payments

One-tap deposit and final payment links. Receipts fire off the moment the money clears — you don't think about it.

🚐

Multi-van & team

Add groomers, assign colours and vehicles, and manage the whole crew — and their routes — from one dashboard.

🎁

Coupons, gift cards & loyalty

Promo codes, sellable gift cards, and a simple points-based loyalty program for the regulars.

Review booster & reminders

Auto-ask for a Google review after each groom. Email reminders and ETA texts go out without a thought.

Intake forms & agreements

Build custom intake forms and grooming agreements. Clients sign digitally via the portal — no more paper.

Pricing your way

Optional breed/size/coat surcharges and multi-pet discounts. Or override price & duration on a single booking. Your prices, your call.

Check-in, tips & no-shows

Track arrival and completion times, add tips on the fly, and auto-charge a no-show fee when someone ghosts you.

Google Calendar & QuickBooks

Two-way sync with Google Calendar, plus a QuickBooks hookup for the bookkeeping side. Plug in the tools you already use.

👁️

Tap-to-view popup

🏠

Tidier dashboard

Big tap-friendly buttons, today's map up top, and only the numbers that actually matter to your day. Less noise, more groom.

📱

Mobile tabs redone

Built by a groomer, for groomers

Made by someone who's still scrubbing knots out of doodles between coding sessions.

I was running my rounds off a paper diary and chasing payments through bank transfers. PawRoute replaced all of that with one screen I check between jobs. The deposit links alone save me hours each week.

Built it because nothing else fit how I actually work. The drag-and-drop calendar and recurring bookings mean I'm not redoing the same Tuesday roster every fortnight.

No lock-in, no per-seat pricing, no salesperson chasing me for a demo. Sign up, try it for a week, decide. That's the whole pitch.

Quick answers

The questions every groomer asks before they hand over a credit card.

How long is the free trial, really?

7 days, full access, every feature unlocked. We collect a card at signup so the trial flips to a paid month seamlessly if you stay — but nothing's charged until day 8, and you can cancel from your billing screen with one click.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You get a 30-day grace window where you can sign back in, export your client list, bookings and payments. Cancelling also automatically ends every Stripe subscription attached to your customers — no sneaky bills after you leave.

Do I need to be techy to use it?

If you can use Instagram, you can use PawRoute. The QuickBook flow is intentionally three taps and a save. The mobile view is built for thumb-on-iPad-between-grooms speed, not desk admin.

Can I import my existing client list?

Yes — CSV import for clients and pets. Or just type them in as bookings come up. Most groomers find it faster to add the regulars in the first week and let the rest accrue naturally.

Why $89/month + GST — and is there a cheaper plan?

One plan, everything in. No "starter" tier that's missing the bits you need, no per-seat fees that punish you for adding a second groomer. The list price is $89 + 10% GST ($97.90 inc. GST) — if you're GST-registered you can claim it back. If $89 is too much, the trial gives you a fortnight to decide whether it pays for itself (it usually does on saved admin time alone).

Does it work on my phone?

Yep — PawRoute is a Progressive Web App, so it installs to your home screen on iOS and Android with its own icon and full-screen view. Native App Store and Play Store apps are on the roadmap.

What about Stripe and Twilio fees?

Standard Stripe processing fees apply on payments (Stripe's own rates, we don't add a markup). SMS via Twilio is optional — connect your own Twilio account in Settings → Integrations and pay Twilio directly. Email is included.

📱 PawRoute on your phone

Tap the button below to install PawRoute to your home screen. It works just like a native app — full screen, your own icon, no app store needed.

A note on installing: Your phone may show a small message like “Install app from the web” or ask you to confirm. That’s normal — PawRoute is delivered straight from pawroute.com.au over a fully secure HTTPS connection (the same encryption your bank uses). It is not an unsigned APK or sideloaded file, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Native iOS & Android apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play are coming soon — for now the install button above gives you the full app experience on your home screen.

Ready to bin the paper diary?

Give PawRoute a week. If it's not for you, walk away — no card charged during the trial.
