The essentials

What you actually get

01
Breed and coat on the form
Custom booking questions capture breed, weight, last groom and behaviour notes. The answers sit on the appointment before the dog arrives.
02
Groom times that are honest
A nail trim is fifteen minutes, a full doodle groom is three hours. Each service has its own duration and buffer.
03
One book per groomer
Each groomer keeps their own hours and service list. Clients pick a groomer or Anyone available.
04
Six week regulars
Recurring bookings cover the clients who come back on a fixed cycle, created as one linked series.
05
Reminders before the drop off
Confirmation on booking, reminder before the appointment, both from your branded sender.
06
Capacity you control
Set how many grooms can run at once so the drying area never gets three dogs it cannot hold.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can I ask for breed and coat details at booking?+

Yes. Add custom booking fields, required or optional, and every answer is stored on the appointment.

Can mobile groomers use it?+

Yes. Set your working windows and service durations, and share the link. There is no route planning or drive time calculation today.

How do I stop three big dogs booking the same hour?+

Set a capacity limit for the store. Availability counts existing bookings against that limit before offering a slot.

Can clients book recurring appointments?+

Yes. Recurring bookings can be created weekly, biweekly or monthly. Each series links back to a parent appointment so you can manage them as a set.

How do you prevent double bookings?+

The public booking endpoint is transactional and rate limited. It validates the full service duration against staff hours, existing appointments and capacity in a single call, so two clients hitting the same slot cannot both win.

Can I take deposits or payments through the booking page?+

Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.

Do you send SMS reminders?+

Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.

Is ZenSched really free to try?+

Yes. The Free Beta plan gives you a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. No credit card to start.
