Can I override a conflict if I know it is intentional?

Yes. Petboost warns you about conflicts but allows overrides when you know the overlap is intentional (for example, staggering two grooms on the same station at different stages).

Does conflict detection work with recurring appointments?

Yes. When you set up a recurring series, Petboost checks every future occurrence for conflicts so you catch problems weeks in advance.

Are resource conflicts detected too?

Absolutely. If a kennel, grooming station, or play area is already allocated for a given time, Petboost will flag the conflict when you try to double-book it.

Scheduling & Booking

Never Double-Book Again. Petboost Catches Conflicts Before They Happen.

Intelligent scheduling that prevents overlaps across team members, resources, and time slots automatically.

Double bookings are embarrassing, costly, and completely preventable. Petboost continuously monitors your schedule for conflicts across every team member, resource, and time slot. Before you can create an overlap, Petboost catches it and shows you exactly what the conflict is.

Sound Familiar?

You have double-booked before. Maybe more than once. It leads to rushed services, angry clients, and a flustered team. With multiple groomers, shared equipment, and bookings coming in from different channels, conflicts are almost inevitable without automated detection.

The Petboost Solution

How Petboost helps

Petboost scans every scheduling action for conflicts and stops overlaps before they reach your calendar.

Explore Magic Scheduling

Real-time conflict detection checks every new booking, reschedule, and drag-and-drop action against your entire schedule.

Detects conflicts across team members, resources (kennels, stations), and working hours simultaneously.

Clear conflict warnings explain exactly what the overlap is so you can make an informed decision.

Override option for legitimate overlaps (for example, a groomer handling two pets in different stages).

Recurring appointment conflicts detected across the entire series, not just the first occurrence.

Buffer time between appointments is factored into conflict detection so you always have cleanup time.

"The customer service is out of this world"

"You won't regret joining…it's the best. I own a dog daycare, grooming and training. I was using an American company for 6 years, which was ok but expensive, not a great system and to get any support took days. When I came to Petboost which is Ozzy owned I knew they were a small business but wanted to give them a go. I have been extremely impressed, the customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients. The pricing structure makes sense and is very affordable, it is very easy to use and navigate, and the way they have built the business reports and analytics is so impressive, easy to understand and personalised."

"I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show"

"Just try it, you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'."
