10 Ways to Stay in Control of your Calendar with Online Booking

Running a grooming business means juggling endless appointments, unpredictable delays, and pet parents who (bless their hearts) sometimes forget their Great Dane isn’t a lapdog. With MoeGo’s Online Booking, you’ll reclaim your schedule, protect your sanity, and focus on what you love: pampering pets. Here’s how:

 

1. Approve Bookings on Your Terms

No more surprise “Doodle disasters” at 4 PM on a Friday.

MoeGo lets you approve, deny, or add requests to your waitlist before they hit your calendar. Avoid overbooking, dodge high-maintenance clients, or save prime slots for loyal pets—all with a few clicks.

01 approve bookings on your terms

 

2. Auto-Filter Services by Breed or Weight

No more “small” 80-pound Labs.

Set rules so pet parents only see services actually suited for their pet. When clients input their dog’s breed or weight, MoeGo automatically hides incompatible options. No more accidental XL-bath bookings.

3. Set Breed-Size Caps to Protect Your Team

8 doddles in one day? Hard pass.

Limit how many large breeds or complex grooms your team handles daily. MoeGo enforces these caps, so your team stay energized.

4. Slot-Based Booking for Military Precision

Turn chaos into a streamlined precision.

Define appointment lengths (30-minute trims, 2-hour spa days) and let MoeGo fill slots seamlessly. Clients see real-time availability, while you enjoy a calendar that actually works for your workflow.

5. Block Certain Clients Quietly 

No awkward conversations needed.

Use MoeGo to discreetly block clients who’ve earned a permanent timeout. Your calendar stays drama-free, and they'll not get notified that you've blocked them from your site.

6. Buffer Time for Mobile Grooming Delays

Traffic happens. Panic doesn’t have to.

Add arrival windows (e.g., “12:00–12:30 PM”) to account for traffic, double-coated blowouts, or that one Chihuahua who hates blow-dryers. MoeGo keeps pet parents informed, so you’re never racing the clock.

7. Fast-Track Regulars, Screen New Clients

VIP treatment for loyal pups.

Returning clients? Their pet’s profile pops up instantly when they enter their number. New clients? MoeGo collects essential details upfront (vaccine records, quirks) through agreement so you’re prepped for success.

8. Geo-Fence Your Availability

No more cross-town double-bookings.

If you’re in North Hollywood on Mondays, MoeGo only shows slots to clients in that area. Perfect for mobile groomers or multi-location salons.

9. The “Fake It” Filter for Breathing Room

Because you deserve lunch breaks.

Block off “fake” busy times (e.g., 20% of your day) to create buffer zones. MoeGo hides these slots from clients, so you get downtime without looking unavailable.

10. Fill Gaps, Maximize Earnings

Turn the gaps between appointments into income.

MoeGo automatically shows clients the next available slot (no more 3-hour gaps!). Fill last-minute cancellations with waitlisted clients or finally tackle that pile of invoices.
