A grooming calendar with dog context — not just time slots

Paper planners or Google Calendar do not show the dog, visit status or groomer notes — in grooming, the hour alone is not enough.

A plain calendar shows only a time slot. BarkPlanner links each visit to client, dog, service history, statuses, SMS, waitlist and reports in one grooming schedule.

FAQ

Does each slot show the dog, notes and visit status?

Yes — a calendar visit opens client and dog cards with statuses, groomer notes and service history in one view.

How does waitlist work with the calendar?

When a slot opens, waitlist shows people waiting. You fill the gap faster without searching old messages.

Can several groomers share one calendar?

Yes — the team uses one salon account and a shared schedule with visit statuses. Owners see day utilization.

How is this different from Google Calendar in a grooming salon?

Google Calendar shows a time. BarkPlanner links scheduling to dog cards, SMS, waitlist and reports — built for grooming salons.
