Mobile dog grooming software Booking software built for life in the van.

Pawdiary plans your day’s round, reminds clients before you set off and keeps every dog’s notes on your phone, so you spend the day grooming, not texting and driving back for no-shows.

No card needed. Paid plans from £19.00 a month, or free for up to 20 pets.

Your round on a map

Today’s visits sorted into the order with the least driving, drive times between them, a warning when a gap is too tight to make, and directions in one tap.

Know what the driving costs

What each day and week costs in fuel, worked out from your van’s mpg, and the petrol stations on your route with today’s prices, cheapest first. Prices come from our partner Pennyfill, using the UK government’s Fuel Finder data, and are updated every day.

No more wasted trips

Automatic reminders, a deposit or saved card when clients book, and a no-show fee in one tap if nobody’s home.

Everything in your pocket

Addresses, behaviour flags, coat notes and before-and-after photos, on the phone you already carry.

    Clients read to the end, type their name and sign your terms from a link, so you know who’s agreed before they arrive.

Questions

Does it work without an office?

Yes. Pawdiary runs in your phone’s browser, and clients book, sign terms and see report cards from a link. No laptop needed.

Can clients book online if I’m mobile?

Yes. Turn on your booking page and choose which services clients can book, how much notice you need and whether you confirm each booking yourself.

Where do the fuel prices come from?

From our partner Pennyfill (pennyfill.co.uk), run by the same team as Pawdiary, which takes today’s prices at UK petrol stations from the government’s Fuel Finder data and updates them every day. You can tap any station to see it on Pennyfill.
