Booksy alternative built for grooming salons

Booksy fits many beauty businesses, but grooming salons need dog cards, coat history, waitlist and a schedule built for groomers.

BarkPlanner is built for grooming: visits with dog context, photos, waitlist, client rebooking, SMS and owner reports — without a beauty marketplace or forced generic workflow.
