Booked by Paws
Biscuit · full groom · Sat 10:40 with Dee
New message · 10:48pm
Hannah asked about a full groom for Biscuit
All of this happened without you.
Sound familiar?
Still answering messages
at midnight?
You do this for the dogs. Not for the phone.
Messages all evening
"How much for a cockapoo?" "Anything Saturday?" You answer from the sofa, every night.
No-shows
Two hours kept free for a dog that never came. No deposit, nothing back.
Notes in your head
Which dog hates the dryer, whose jabs are due. It's all in your head, or a notebook somewhere.
What you get
Less time on your phone.
More time with the dogs.
The bits that eat your evenings, done for you.
Online booking, day and night
Owners book from their phone, any time. They only see times that are really free.
Paws, your receptionist
Paws answers messages, books pets in, takes the deposit and moves bookings. If it's not sure, it asks you.
Deposits that hold the slot
You choose the deposit. No deposit, no slot. If they don't show, it's yours to keep, if you choose.
A record for every pet
Vaccinations, temperament, coat notes and photos. There every time they book.
Reminders, sent for you
Petbooks emails to confirm, then again the night before. Fewer forgotten grooms.
Circles
Your regulars bring their friends, and the businesses you recommend send owners back. Petbooks keeps count.
Your dashboard
Your week,
on one screen.
Who's coming in, what's been paid and who's due back.

How it started
Dee started grooming because she loves the dogs.
Twelve years in. A table, good scissors and regulars who tell their friends.
The catch
Nobody warned her about the evenings.
Sunday · 9:14pm
The grooming stops at six. The messages don't. Prices, dates, "is he due yet?"
The bad day
Two hours kept free. The dog never came.
Thursday · 2:00pm · no-show
No deposit, so nothing back. An afternoon gone.
The change
Then one night, Paws answered for her.
Monday · 10:48pm
Hannah asked about Saturday. Paws found 10:40, took the £10 deposit and booked Biscuit in.
Now
Now she finds out in the morning.
Bookings in, deposits paid, reminders sent. She just grooms dogs.
Paws · how it works
You're thinking a bot can't do this.
Fair. Here's each worry, and what Paws does about it.
It only offers times that are really free.
Paws looks at your diary before it answers. If Saturday is full, it says so and offers the next free time.
What this means for you — Nothing gets booked that you'd have to cancel later.
Your Saturday
- 9:00
- Bramble · bath and tidy
- 10:40
- Free · 2 hours
- 13:00
- Pickle · puppy groom
It offers 10:40 because 10:40 is free.
Circles · how it works
Get paid for recommending.
You've tried the cards by the till. Circles is different, and here's how.
Nobody remembers the card.
A card needs her to keep it, her friend to mention it and you to spot it. Circles needs none of that.
What this means for you — Owners do talk. The card just got in the way.
The old way
- She has to keep the card
- Lost it
- Her friend has to mention it
- Forgets
- You have to spot it
- Busy with a dog
No-shows
Deposits that
hold the slot.
You choose the deposit. The owner pays it when she books. No deposit, no slot.
From the grooming table
Groomers who got their evenings back
The kind of difference Petbooks is built to make.
“The deposits did it. I used to lose an afternoon a week to no-shows. Now they pay when they book.”
Kelly M.
Groomer · Chester
“I'm in the van all day. Paws answers while I'm working and I check the bookings at lunch.”
Rhys D.
Mobile groomer · Powys
“Every dog's notes are on the record. My new groomer knew which ones hate the dryer on her first day.”
Amara B.
Studio owner, two groomers · Norwich
Made-up examples, not customer reviews. Petbooks hasn't opened yet. Real reviews will replace these when it does.
