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 puts your bookings, deposits, routes and clients on one screen, so you waste less time on admin, lose fewer jobs to no-shows, and fit in more of the pups (and kitties) that actually pay the bills.

The stuff that actually saves time between jobs — and the parts groomers mention to us first.
Click an empty slot, type the owner's name, pick the pet (breeds finish themselves as you type), choose the service, hit save. New client, new pet and new booking — done in one go. If it's a regular, tick recurring, choose weekly, fortnightly, monthly or your own interval, and it copies forward for you.
Need to shuffle a 9am to Wednesday? Grab it and drop it — no forms, no faff. Bookings are colour-coded by status, so you can spot what's paid, what's still owing and what's waiting on a deposit at a glance. Month view, week view, recurring series and free-slot suggestions around your existing jobs.
Today's jobs laid out on a map in the best driving order. You'll see drive times, distances and roughly what each leg is costing in fuel. One tap opens the whole route in Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions from the van.
One app, three very different days. Pick your style and we'll show you what changes.
Whether you're mobile, salon-based or a bit of both, the rest of your day-to-day lives in here too.
Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or custom intervals. Every booking in a series shows a "3 of 6 · 4 upcoming" badge so you never lose count.
Tag each pet as Dog or Cat. Breed autocomplete flips between dog and cat breeds as you type.
A branded page where new clients book at 11pm Sundays. Existing clients sign agreements, pay, and track loyalty points.
One-tap deposit and final payment links. Receipts fire off the moment the money clears — you don't think about it.
Add groomers, assign colours and vehicles, and manage the whole crew — and their routes — from one dashboard.
Promo codes, sellable gift cards, and a simple points-based loyalty program for the regulars.
Auto-ask for a Google review after each groom. Email reminders and ETA texts go out without a thought.
Build custom intake forms and grooming agreements. Clients sign digitally via the portal — no more paper.
Optional breed/size/coat surcharges and multi-pet discounts. Or override price & duration on a single booking. Your prices, your call.
Track arrival and completion times, add tips on the fly, and auto-charge a no-show fee when someone ghosts you.
Two-way sync with Google Calendar, plus a QuickBooks hookup for the bookkeeping side. Plug in the tools you already use.
No setup wizard, no onboarding call. Sign up, add your zones, start booking.
Sign up with your email and start your 7-day free trial. Card stored but not charged until the trial ends.
Tell PawRoute which suburbs you cover so jobs route to the right day and your map shows the right fuel cost.
Import your list or add them as you go — QuickBook lets you add an owner, pet and booking in one go.
Drag bookings around the calendar, send deposit links and collect final payment — all from one screen.

Your feedback goes straight to our team. We'd love to hear what's working — and what isn't.
The questions every groomer asks before they hand over a credit card.
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.
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.
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 AUD/month, same worldwide. Australian customers add 10% GST ($97.90 inc. GST) which GST-registered businesses can claim back. If $89 is too much, the free trial gives you a week to decide whether it pays for itself (it usually does on saved admin time alone).
Absolutely. PawRoute is used by groomers in Australia, the US, the UK, New Zealand and beyond. Pricing is the same worldwide — $89 AUD/month — your card automatically converts to your local currency at checkout (roughly $58 USD / £47 GBP at current rates). GST is only added for Australian customers. The app supports any address format and any time zone, and support is in English over email.
