Mobile groomers have unique needs. You're on the road, working from a van, and managing your schedule between houses. GroomBoard is built mobile-first, so everything works on your phone. Check your schedule, look up client addresses, review pet notes, and manage bookings from anywhere. Your booking page works the same way for mobile groomers, clients book a time, you show up. No complex route optimization software needed when you're serving a local area.
Your stops, in an order that saves the drive.
GroomBoard looks at the addresses on your day and tells you when a different order would save time and miles, with the swap spelled out and the minutes it saves. It suggests. You decide, because you know which client will not move.
The address and the notes, before you knock.
Every appointment carries the client address and the pet record, so you arrive knowing which dog, which cut, and which one does not like the dryer. It is the same information the salon groomer has on a wall, on the seat beside you instead.
A no-show costs a mobile groomer the drive too.
When the chair is in your van, a forgotten appointment is not an empty hour, it is an empty hour plus the fuel to get there and back. The day before reminder goes out on its own, and it is included rather than metered.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does GroomBoard have GPS or route optimization?
Yes. Your calendar has a map view of the day's stops, and GroomBoard checks whether reordering them would save time and distance. When it finds a better order it shows you the specific swap and the minutes and miles it saves, and you choose whether to take it. Turn by turn navigation stays with your phone's maps app, which is already the best tool for that part.
Can clients enter their address when booking?
Clients enter their contact information when booking. You can view their details from the appointment on your calendar, and the address is what the day's map view and route suggestions are built from.
Is there a special mobile grooming plan?
No separate plan needed. The Solo plan at $19/mo includes everything a mobile groomer needs: online booking, client management, SMS reminders, and calendar scheduling.
