Dog grooming, boarding & daycare software, built in a real shop.
Grooming, boarding and daycare in one app: online booking, a smart calendar, texting, checkout, payroll and year-end 1099s. One price you can actually read, an interactive Smart Assistant that actually helps, and a phone line answered by a real person, not a machine. Built inside a working shop.
From $39 a month. 30 days free. No card required. Coming from MoeGo, Gingr, 123Pet, Pawfinity, Square or a spreadsheet? Once you have all your files from your old provider, upload and onboarding takes less than 3 hours.
The calendar, the groomer's phone, ClipSight™, the checkout.
Rooms, intake, rounds, run cards, pupdates, check-out billing.
The day board, play groups, capacity, packages, online booking.
A board per van, real drive times, tracking links, a safety check-in.
Two things no other grooming software does.
We compared nine systems groomers use today. None of them reads a groom from a photo, and none of them keeps your vaccine records current without your staff lifting a finger. Both are built into the Smart Assistant.
Snap the after photo, or open one a customer texted in. The Smart Assistant works out how that groom was done: the style, the coat length, and the blade or comb that most likely made it, allowing for the weeks of regrowth since.
- 1Take the after photo, or tap any picture on the dog's record, including the "I want this!" photo a customer texted in.
- 2ClipSight names the style, the length and the most likely blade, with a second choice, notes for body, legs, head, feet and tail, and what could be better.
- 3Tell it what you really used and it learns your shop, dog by dog and breed by breed. One tap makes it the dog's grooming instructions, with the photo as the example.

Clients text a picture of their vaccine records to your shop number. That's all anyone does. VaxFetch reads it, logs every shot on the right dog, saves the vet's contact details, and goes back to the vet for the update when a shot comes due.
- 1The client texts a photo of the certificate, invoice or rabies card, the same way they'd text you a picture of their dog.
- 2VaxFetch logs each shot and its expiration date, keeps the photo as the document, fills in the vet's clinic, phone and email, and texts the client a thank-you listing what it filed.
- 3When a shot is coming due before the dog's next visit, VaxFetch emails the vet and asks for the updated record. Nobody on your staff types a date, makes a call, or chases a certificate.

One app. One login. One bill.
No add-on marketplace, no third-party texting bill, no separate payroll login. Turn on what you use, pay for what you use.
A calendar that thinks ahead
Drag-and-drop scheduling, standing appointments, waitlist, no-show shields, and a daily brief that tells you what today needs before you open the door.
Texts that go out on their own
Confirmations, reminders, ready-for-pickup, report cards with photos, two-way messaging and campaigns, from your own number.
Checkout in one tap
Cards on file, a countertop reader, tips that go to the right groomer, receipts by text. Stripe underneath, nothing to reconcile.
Boarding, daycare and mobile, if you do them
Rooms, rounds and run cards for boarding; a day board with capacity for daycare; a board per van with real drive times, tracking links and a safety check-in for mobile.
Payroll and 1099s, done
Commission, hourly or both, a time clock, tips split fairly, set-asides, pay stubs, and the 1099s at year end. Your accountant will ask what changed.
The Smart Assistant
Ask how to do anything and it walks you through it on your own screen, out loud if you want. ClipSight™ reads a groom from a photo, VaxFetch™ keeps vaccine records current, and a weekly read on the business lands every Monday.
Made by people who've worked every job in the shop.
The front desk, the grooming table, the kennels, the van. We've done them all, so every screen was built for the person using it.
Simple, yet loaded with features that make Rock Dog Pro the best choice for your business.
Drag, drop, done. Standing appointments, a waitlist that fills cancellations on its own, and a daily brief that tells you what today needs before you unlock the door.
Handling notes, grooming instructions with a photo, the cut the customer asked for, and texting with the client, all on the groomer's phone before the first clip.
Log every feeding, med, potty break and play session from a phone, send pupdates and pictures to owners, and keep every kennel's status current: ready, dirty, occupied or out of service.
A big red safety check-in with a live countdown, and a hold-to-alert button that reaches the owner and an emergency contact if something goes wrong on the road.
VaxFetch™ chases vaccine records, texts go out on their own, and payroll adds itself up, so your team spends its time on dogs and customers, not paperwork.
An interactive Smart Assistant that walks you through anything on your own screen, and a phone line answered by a real person, not a machine: 501-216-1216.
Straight answers.
What is Rock Dog Pro?+
Rock Dog Pro is software for dog grooming salons, boarding kennels and doggy daycares. It handles the calendar, online booking, texting from your own number, report cards, checkout and card processing, boarding and daycare, payroll and year-end 1099s in one app. It was built inside a working grooming and boarding shop in Little Rock, Arkansas.
How much does Rock Dog Pro cost?+
Pricing is simple. Grooming is $49 a month, boarding is $49, daycare is $39 and mobile grooming is $39. Run two or more and each one is $10 off, so daycare plus mobile grooming is $58 and grooming, boarding and daycare together is $107. The Growth tier adds a flat $40 and Ultimate a flat $70 on top, no matter how many services you run. Every membership includes 300 texts a month, and Ultimate includes 1,000 texts and 500 Assistant credits; larger texting and Assistant packages are priced separately and reset on your renewal date.
Does Rock Dog Pro do boarding and daycare as well as grooming?+
Yes. Grooming, boarding and daycare are membership types you can combine, not add-ons. A boarding membership includes rooms and rates, a night-based board, intake with feeding and medication, rounds with sign-offs, printable run cards and pupdate photos. Daycare includes the day board by play group, capacity, half and full days, packages and online daycare booking.
Can I move my clients over from MoeGo, Gingr, 123Pet or Pawfinity?+
Yes. Rock Dog Pro imports clients, pets, years of notes, vaccines, feeding and medication details, and visit history from MoeGo, Gingr, 123Pet, Pawfinity, Square Appointments or a spreadsheet. Once you have all your files from your old provider, upload and onboarding takes less than 3 hours.
Does Rock Dog Pro handle payroll and 1099s?+
Yes. Payroll supports commission, hourly or both, overtime rules by state, a time clock with PINs, tips split across groomers by their share of the service dollars, pay stubs with year-to-date, and QuickBooks and Gusto or ADP exports. At year end it produces 1099-NEC recipient copies and an e-file CSV, with W-9s collected digitally.
Does texting come from my own number?+
Yes. Confirmations, reminders, ready-for-pickup texts, report cards, two-way messages and campaigns all go out from a number registered in your shop's name. STOP and HELP handling, quiet hours and carrier registration are built in.
Can it tell what blade was used from a photo?+
Yes. ClipSight™, Rock Dog Pro's photo review system, looks at a photo of a groom, allows for the weeks since it was done, and names the style, the coat length and the most likely blade or comb, with a second choice and a confidence. Groomers confirm what was really used and it learns the shop's results. On a photo a customer texts in, it explains how to get that look instead. It's included in the Growth and Ultimate plans and runs on Assistant credits (Ultimate includes 500 a month).
Does it work for mobile groomers?+
Yes. Mobile grooming is a $39 membership for the whole business: a board per van, service areas by zip and day, routes with real drive times, on-the-way texts with a live tracking link, van logs, and a safety check-in on the groomer's phone with a countdown and a hold-to-alert button that texts the owner and the groomer's emergency contact.
Does it come with a website?+
Yes. Every member gets a free website at yourshop.rockdogpro.com, or on their own domain, built from their services, hours, photos and reviews, with a Book now button that goes straight to their booking page.
Do vaccine records really log themselves?+
Yes. With VaxFetch™, clients text a picture of their vaccine records to your shop number. It reads the record, logs each shot and its expiration date on the right dog, keeps the photo as the document, saves the vet's clinic, phone and email, and texts the client a thank-you. When a shot comes due before the dog's next visit, it emails the vet for the updated record. Your staff don't type a thing. It's included in the Growth and Ultimate plans and runs on Assistant credits (Ultimate includes 500 a month).
Can I talk to a real person?+
Yes. Call 501-216-1216, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Central, and a real person answers the phone, not a machine. For quick questions, the interactive Smart Assistant helps right on your screen: press "How do I", type or say what you want to do, and it walks you through it.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes, 30 days free with no card required. Once you have your files from your old provider, upload and onboarding takes less than 3 hours, so you can run a real month on it.
