Dog groomers · Nelson, Nelson Tasman
Booking software for dog groomers in Nelson
Nelson and Tasman are known for sunshine and the outdoors, and plenty of local dogs live that life too: walks along Tāhunanui Beach, swims in the rivers and days out on the tracks. That means sandy, wet and burr-covered coats, and owners who want a regular groom to keep up.
BookAndGo gives your grooming business a booking page owners can use any time. They choose the groom, see your real open times and book. Questions at booking tell you what to expect about the dog, and a confirmation and reminder email go to the owner, with a link to move the time within your rules.
If you run a small salon on your own, you can set your working week once, block your days off and let the booking page handle the rest.
A flat monthly price
No per-client fees and no commission on your bookings. Your bill doesn't climb as you grow.
GST invoices with your NZBN
Tax invoices with your GST number, your NZBN and a GST line, numbered in order and sent by email.
Email reminders + a waitlist
A confirmation and a reminder by email, with a link to reschedule or cancel, and a waitlist for the times that are taken.
Built for Nelson dog groomers
The region stretches from Nelson city through Stoke and Richmond out to Mapua, Motueka and the rural valleys beyond. A mobile groomer can spend a lot of the day driving if bookings are scattered. Setting your service area by postcode, and keeping outlying areas to particular days, lets you work the region on your terms.
Many owners here are retired or work flexible hours, and others are busy with seasonal horticulture work. Offering both weekday and weekend hours, and letting regulars book on repeat, makes it easy for both groups to stay on your books.
Nelson dogs spend a lot of time at Tahunanui Beach, on the Great Taste Trail and in the rivers, and the region's long sunny summers mean clips start early. Every dog over three months must be registered with Nelson City Council or Tasman District Council for each registration year, which starts on 1 July.
Groomers who cover Motueka, Richmond and Nelson usually keep each area to set days, and summer visitors with holiday dogs add a run of short-notice washes.
BookAndGo lets owners book the groom they need, answer breed and temperament questions while they book, and join a waitlist when you are full. Mobile groomers set a service area by postcode, and a short wash can be its own service so it never crowds out a full groom.
Frequently asked
Can I keep Motueka grooms to one day a week?
Yes. Limit those grooms to the day you are out that way, and set your service area by postcode so other bookings stay in your usual area.
I am a one-person salon. Can I set my week once and forget it?
Set your working hours and days off once, and the booking page only shows times inside them. Block extra days whenever you need to.
Can regular clients book every fortnight?
A booking can repeat weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and each one gets its own reminder email.
Can I import my existing client list?
Yes. You can import existing clients from a CSV file so their records are ready when they book.
Can I keep beach washes short and separate from full grooms?
Yes. Make a short wash service with its own length, and limit it to the days you choose.
Can owners join a waitlist in summer?
Yes. When a time is gone they join the waitlist, and you accept them when a slot opens.
