BookTheGroom gives you one booking link, texts reminders for you, takes a deposit so people actually show up, and when someone cancels, offers the spot to your waitlist on its own. Set up in 15 minutes. No 20-field client forms.

Clients book themselves from one link in your Instagram bio, Google profile, and voicemail. Booked while you're grooming, not at 10pm.
Card-on-file deposit at booking, plus reminders 72h and 24h out with a one-tap reschedule link. Your cancellation policy is in every message.
When someone cancels, the opening goes to the first 3 matching dogs on your waitlist by text. First tap books it. You just get a "refilled" notification.
Send an invoice from your phone after the groom. Deposit already deducted. Client pays by card from the text.
Clients outside your ZIPs can't book, and travel buffers are built in between stops.
Export your clients as CSV anytime. Cancel in one click. No sales calls, no "VIP upgrade" upsells.
"I tell customers to book by text but my phone gets so full and people still call or send me Messenger messages or emails… I once had over 700 unread messages"
