Scheduling built for grooming
Your book, without the bloat.
Appointments, reminders, deposits, and your drive order. That's the whole product, and that's on purpose.
$25 a month, month to month, cancel anytime. Bring your own Square or PayPal for deposits — the money goes straight to you.
Pepper's owner just booked that open 11:30. You didn't have to answer the phone.
The gap
Groomers don't need a CRM. They need Tuesday to go smoothly.
Most grooming software was built for a salon chain and sold down to a one-person van. You end up paying for modules you'll never open, and still texting reminders by hand.
I spent a weekend setting it up and still can't find where to change a price.Mobile groomer, 1 van
Two no-shows last week. Both said they never got a reminder.Shop owner, 2 tables
My book is a paper book. It works. I just can't take a deposit with it.Solo groomer, 11 years
A book that thinks in dogs
Breed, coat condition, and last cut travel with the pet, not the appointment. Block two hours for a Newfoundland deshed without fighting a 30-minute grid.
Reminders that actually go out
Text and email confirmations, a nudge the day before, and a note when you're on the way. Set once. You'll stop hearing "I never got a reminder."
Deposits, through your own processor
Connect the Square or PayPal account you already use. Money goes straight to you — we never hold it. A paid deposit is the cheapest no-show insurance there is.
Your day in drive order
Built for mobile first. See the day as a route with real drive times, so you stop discovering at 2pm that you booked across the county and back.
The trade-off
We left things out. Deliberately.
Every feature you don't need is a setting you have to understand, a screen you have to scroll past, and a reason the thing feels heavy. So here's what Slickerbook won't do:
If it doesn't help you get through the day, it isn't in here.
Pricing
One plan. Twenty-five dollars.
No tiers to compare, no features held back to sell you an upgrade. You pay for the seats you use and the texts you send — nothing else.

Extra groomers
+$5 /user/moOnly for groomers who need their own login.
Bathers, assistants, and anyone working off your book cost nothing. A paid seat gets that groomer their own book, their own route, and shared access to client and pet records — add or remove them whenever your staffing changes.
Text messages
at costTexts run about a penny each, passed straight through with no markup. A busy solo groomer sending confirmations, day-before nudges, and on-my-way notes typically lands around $4–8 a month.
