Never let an algorithm hijack your workday.
Auto-confirm booking is great for barbershops, but dangerous for pet grooming. A regular bath is not the same as a matted, anxious rescue dog. With Clippie, you are always the gatekeeper:
Request, Never Surprise
Clients choose an open window, but the slot is only held once you review the details and tap Approve.
One-Tap Counter Offers
Need an extra 30 minutes to travel across town or finish a difficult trim? Counter their request with a time that actually works for your flow.
Intake at a Glance
Every booking request displays the pet’s photo, breed, weight, known matting, and behavioral flags before you say yes.
Set your areas. Let Clippie pack your days.
Driving across town for a single dog burns fuel and steals your afternoon. With Neighborhood Pack™, you set the areas you work on each day. When pet parents look to book, Clippie’s booking system suggests the days you are already in their neighborhood — packing your appointments together so you spend your hours at the grooming table, not behind the wheel.
You Set the Territories
Drop a pin and set your driving radius for every day of the week. Tuesdays stay in your north zone, Thursdays downtown — your boundaries stay firm.
Smart Booking Suggestions
When pet parents enter their address, Clippie automatically recommends the days you work in their neighborhood, packing nearby dogs onto the same day.
Arrival Windows You Keep
Parents get an honest arrival window instead of a rigid minute you both know will slip. No more frantic texts or apologizing for traffic delays.
No-Show Shield™: Clear deposit protection for the visits you hold.
Set the deposit and cancellation terms clients see before booking. When you confirm a visit, No-Show Shield™ applies that policy to its deposit and late-cancellation or no-show outcome, so the terms do not turn into a separate conversation:
Deposit for a Confirmed Visit
When a parent confirms a booking under your policy, Clippie holds the deposit on their card. It counts toward the normal payment when the groom is complete.
Your Policy Sets the Window
Choose the deposit amount and cancellation window that fit your business. Clients see those terms before they confirm a booking.
Terms They Already Saw
If a client cancels late or does not show, Clippie follows the policy attached to that booking. You record what happened; the amount is not decided in a text thread.
The Solo Operator Comparison
Why independent groomers choose Clippie over generic scheduling tools and phone tag.
| Running on Text & Venmo | Generic Kennel Software | The Clippie Way |
|---|---|---|
| Answering DMs and texts while drying a nervous pet | Trapped behind a laptop; built for 20-employee boarding kennels | Run 100% from your phone in between appointments or in the van |
| Clients expect instant replies at 9:00 PM | Auto-books bad appointments that destroy your daily schedule | Neighborhood Pack™ packs dogs by neighborhood; you approve, counter, or decline on your terms |
| Awkwardly chasing people for cancellation fees | Flat $80–$140/mo subscription even when you take vacation | No-Show Shield™ automated deposit protection; zero monthly subscription fees ($0/mo — no rent when on vacation) |
Turn a finished groom into an easy next-visit request.
The minute you set down your shears:
Send the Groom Report Card
Snap a photo of the clean pet, check off the services, and note anything the parent should know (ear cleaning, skin irritation, teeth).
Share the Finished Result
The parent receives the report card with the receipt and an optional tip. Clippie never takes a percentage of your tips.
Lock in the Next Cycle
Bring their next groom back into view on the rhythm you set, so a regular can choose a time without starting over.
Which one are you?
The money and the policies work the same either way. The day does not.
