Dog groomers · Hamilton, Waikato
Booking software for dog groomers in Hamilton
A Hamilton groomer sees a wider mix of dogs than most. There are town dogs from the suburbs either side of the Waikato River, and there are working and family dogs from the lifestyle blocks and farms that ring the city out toward Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Ngāruawāhia and Morrinsville.
BookAndGo helps you handle both. Owners book online from your booking page, choose the groom that fits and answer a few questions while they book, so you know whether you are getting a small fluffy dog or a farm dog that has never been on a table. Those answers are on the appointment before the dog arrives.
Every booking sends a confirmation email and a reminder, and owners can reschedule from the link in it within your rules, which matters when a farm day runs late and the dog is not going anywhere.

Built for Hamilton dog groomers
Waikato is wet. A lot of the year means mud, paddocks and dogs that need a proper bath before any clipping starts. Building that into your service lengths, and adding a buffer after the dirtiest grooms, keeps the rest of the day on time.
If you travel, rural addresses can be a long way apart. Limiting rural grooms to particular days, and setting the postcodes you cover, lets you plan a sensible country run rather than taking whatever books first. For salon groomers in town, clients often come in on the way to or from work, so early and late starts on some days can be worth setting up as their own hours.
Hamilton groomers see town dogs and farm dogs. City pets need regular clips and washes; working and lifestyle-block dogs arrive muddy, with burrs and matting, and can be a handful on the table. Every dog over three months must be registered with Hamilton City Council or the surrounding district council for each registration year, which starts on 1 July, so owners are used to keeping their dog's details up to date.
BookAndGo lets owners book the groom they need and answer questions about breed, coat, temperament and handling while they book. Mobile groomers set a service area by postcode, keep country runs to their own days and take the client's address at booking. A buffer after a muddy dog leaves time to clean down, and regulars can book on repeat.
Frequently asked
Farm dogs can be a handful. Can I find out before they come?
Add booking questions about temperament, handling history or whether the dog has been groomed before, and the answers show on the appointment.
I only do country runs two days a week. Can I set that up?
Yes. A service can be limited to certain days, and a service area by postcode controls where you travel, so rural grooms only book on your country days.
Can I give myself more time after a really muddy dog?
Each service can carry a buffer after it, so a full wash and groom leaves room to clean down before the next booking is offered.
Will owners get a reminder before the groom?
Yes. Owners get a confirmation email when they book and a reminder before the appointment, with a link to reschedule or cancel within your notice rules.
Lifestyle-block dogs are often matted. Can I give them more time?
Make a separate service for dogs that need de-matting with a longer length, so the right time is held.
Can I close for Fieldays week if I am going?
Block those days, and your booking page will not show times on them.
