Dog groomers · Hawke's Bay, Hawke's Bay
Booking software for dog groomers in Napier and Hastings
Hawke's Bay summers are hot and dry, and dogs feel it. Owners across Napier, Hastings and Havelock North often book a shorter clip as the heat arrives, and dogs from the orchards, vineyards and farms on the plains come in dusty and seeded after harvest.
BookAndGo lets owners book those grooms from your own booking page. They pick the service, see the times you actually have, and answer a few questions as they book, like breed and coat condition, so you can plan the right equipment and time for each dog.
Owners get a confirmation email and a reminder before the day. If you groom from a van, set the postcodes you serve, and the owner's address arrives with the booking.

Email reminders + a waitlist

Built for Hawke's Bay dog groomers
The Bay is two main towns with smaller communities and rural land around them, and the drive between, say, Taradale and Waipukurau is not short. A mobile groomer working the whole area usually does best with set days for each part of it: town days, plains days, a coastal day. Limiting services to certain days does exactly that.
Summer heat also changes the shape of a groomer's day. Many dogs, and their owners, are better off with early starts before the afternoon heat. Setting your own hours per day lets you open earlier in summer and keep afternoons for indoor salon work or rest.
Hawke's Bay summers are hot and dry, and dogs need clipping early in the season. Every dog over three months must be registered with Napier City Council or Hastings District Council for each registration year, which starts on 1 July.
Owners across Napier and Hastings book ahead of Christmas and summer holidays, and groomers who cover both cities keep each to its own days.
BookAndGo lets owners book the groom they need, answer breed and temperament questions, and join a waitlist when you are full. Mobile groomers set a service area by postcode.
Farm, orchard and vineyard dogs from the rural areas around Hastings and Central Hawke's Bay arrive muddy, matted and sometimes wary of the table, while town dogs in Napier and Havelock North need regular clips on a cycle. Grooming both in the same week works best when the longer rural grooms have their own service with a longer length, kept to the days you have the time and the energy for them.

Can I start earlier on hot summer days?
Yes. You set your working hours per day, and you can add one-off special hours for particular dates when you want to change them.
I cover both Napier and Hastings. Can I keep each to its own days?
Limit each service to certain days and set the postcodes you cover, so bookings only land where and when you are working.
