Who this is for

For Pet Stores That Do More Than Sell Product

  • You run a pet store and are adding grooming, boarding, training, or daycare
  • You already offer services and book them in a separate tool
  • You are keying appointments and retail sales into two systems that do not talk
  • You run more than one location and want services managed the same way at each

Core benefits

One System for the Appointment and the Checkout

01

One Record per Customer

The customer who books a groom is the same customer who buys food at the register, so service history and purchase history sit together.

02

One Seamless Integration

Grooming, boarding, training, and daycare appointments are connected to your retail platform rather than a standalone booking tool.

03

One Shared Inventory

Products sold across channels and the products sold by your service providers draw from the same real-time inventory as the rest of the store.

Which Platform Includes Washboard?

Washboard is an add-on available with PetStack Plus and FieldStack, giving you the tools to manage service bookings when you’re ready to add them.

Tools for Your Customers and Your Staff

Customer Portal

Customers book grooming appointments online anytime, sign waivers digitally, upload photos of their pets, and receive automatic appointment notifcations.

Staff Portal

Staff with permissions can see appointments and the stage they're in, manage the waitlist and vaccination records, and pull commission and utilization reports.

Services covered

Grooming, Boarding, Training, and Daycare

Four service types, one booking and scheduling system.

01

Grooming

Book grooming appointments against the staff and time you actually have, and ring the service up at the same register as the retail sale.

02

Boarding

Schedule all-day stays and keep them tied to the customer and pet record the rest of your store already uses.

03

Training

Put classes and one-on-one sessions on the same schedule as the rest of your services instead of tracking them on the side.

04

Daycare

Handle day-to-day bookings and repeat visitors without a second login, a second calendar, or a second customer list.

See It Against Your Own Service Mix

Every store runs services a little differently. On a Discovery Call we will walk through how you handle appointments today and show you exactly how Washboard would help.

Grooming scheduling

Scheduling Built for How Your Shop Runs

Every appointment moves through real, trackable stages, and the pieces around it — payouts, cancellations, paperwork — work the way a groomer actually needs them to.

Online Booking That Knows the Rules

Customers book their groom online, anytime. Every open slot is already checked against real constraints like species, weight, and age before it's shown, so no one books into a wall and staff don't get a walk-in that should never have been possible.

Digital Paperwork and Records

Photos attach to a pet's profile or a specific visit, with customers able upload their own. Waivers are signed and stored digitally, and vaccination records (rabies, DAPP, FVRCP) are tracked with expiration dates, right on the pet's profile.

Always Know Where a Pet Is

Confirmed, checked in, in service, ready for checkout, paid — every appointment moves through real stages, so your front desk knows what's happening without guessing from the calendar.

Pay Your Groomers Accurately, Automatically

Commission is calculated automatically from configurable, tiered pay plans. Pull a groomer's daily sales, completed services, and utilization in one report — no spreadsheet required.

Never Let a Cancellation Go to Waste

When a slot opens up, the waitlist automatically offers it to the next customer in line and texts them the moment it happens.

Send Automatic Appointment Updates

Confirmations, reminders, updates, and reschedule notices go out automatically by text and email, so customers are always in the loop.
