Stop Wrestling With Your Calendar. Start Dragging and Dropping.
A visual scheduling experience so intuitive, you will wonder how you ever managed without it.
Your calendar should work as fast as you think. With Petboost, you simply drag an appointment to a new time, resize it to adjust the duration, and drop it onto a different team member. No forms. No friction. Just a calendar that actually keeps up with the chaos of running a pet business.
You are spending more time fighting your calendar than actually caring for pets. Every reschedule means clicking through three screens, re-entering details, and hoping you did not accidentally double-book someone. Paper diaries are even worse: one coffee spill and your entire week disappears. You deserve better.
How Petboost helps
Petboost gives you a beautifully visual calendar built specifically for pet businesses. Every interaction is a single gesture, not a multi-step ordeal.
Explore Magic SchedulingDrag any appointment to a new time slot and it reschedules instantly, no confirmation dialogs or re-entry required.
Resize appointments by dragging their edges to adjust duration on the fly (perfect when a full groom becomes a bath and tidy).
Drop appointments between team members or resources to reassign work in seconds.
Colour-coded appointments by service type, status, or team member so you can read your day at a glance.
Multi-day stays render as spanning bars across your calendar so boarding and daycare bookings are always crystal clear.
Undo any drag action immediately if you change your mind.
How It Works
Open your calendar
Launch Petboost and your calendar loads with today in focus. All your appointments, team members, and resources are visible immediately.
Drag to reschedule
Click and hold any appointment, then drag it to the new time or team member column. Release and the change is saved.
Resize to adjust duration
Hover over the bottom edge of an appointment and drag to make it longer or shorter. Duration updates automatically.
Customers get notified
When you reschedule, the pet owner automatically receives an updated confirmation via SMS or email (if you have notifications enabled).
Key Benefits
Save 5+ hours per week
Scheduling tasks that used to take minutes now take seconds. Over a full week, those saved minutes add up to hours you can spend on billable work.
Eliminate double bookings
The calendar visually shows every slot that is taken. Conflict detection prevents overlaps before they happen, so you never have to apologise for an overbooking again.
See your entire day at a glance
Colour-coded appointments, team member columns, and resource rows mean you can assess your workload in seconds, not minutes.
Adapts to last-minute changes
Client running late? Groomer called in sick? Just drag and drop to rearrange your day without starting from scratch.
Works on any device
Whether you are at your desk or in the grooming room, the calendar works beautifully on tablets, laptops, and desktops.
No training required
If you can use a smartphone, you can use this calendar. New team members pick it up in minutes, not days.

"Switching to Petboost has been fantastic"
"Our whole process of switching from our old software to Petboost has been fantastic. Frazer has been incredibly supportive from day one, which made the changeover feel smooth and well guided. Now we can manage all our services easily in one place, and the ability to combine both daycare and grooming bookings has been especially helpful. Petboost is not only easy to use and logical, but the pricing is very competitive. It's also a big plus that it's Australian owned and operated. Streamlining communication between clients and the business, while also reducing admin time, has been amazing. It's made things feel much more organised and easier to manage day to day."

"Streamlined Booking with Exceptional Support"
"I really appreciate that Petboost Business is Australian, and the owners are very hands-on, striving to make the product the best possible for my business. It has drastically reduced my admin time compared to previous systems. I love the new two-way SMS feature and the live availability calendar. The system is intuitive and easy for both my clients and staff to use without the need for extensive training. If any issues arise, they're usually fixed the same day. They're constantly rolling out new features. Petboost Business also connects to Stripe and Xero, which is a big plus. Initial setup was incredibly easy since Frazer came to our business and set it up with me."

"The smart way to run your business"
"All services are available easily, it provides so much information about how our business is running, the support is above and beyond. Everything we need to run our business in 1 place. We expanded from grooming to add full services including behavioural training, boarding, and daycare. It's everything in one place that other systems either didn't offer or cost an exorbitant fee."

"Best in market software for Pet Care industries"
"Support is amazing and the software is the best on market for pet industries. I've worked in software and marketing prior to owning my own pet care business, and could tell immediately that Petboost was something unique. There is nothing I dislike about Petboost: the owner and developer, Frazer, is making constant improvements, so I'm sure any small areas of opportunity are being addressed. We needed a system to improve efficiency with scheduling, notifications, communication and customer experience, and Petboost delivers that."

"Switched from a US system after 6 years. Never looked back."
"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."

"The automatic payments feature is a blessing"
"Streamlined Invoicing and Booking for Small Teams. I really like how much quicker and easier Petboost Business has become after the upgrades. The automatic payments feature is a blessing as it helps me not to stress, and the self-booking option for clients is amazing for my business! These features ease the mental load and reduce manual admin tasks, allowing me to focus on what I do best."

"Clear, Client-Friendly Booking Tool with Responsive Support"
"As a dog trainer it is difficult to find software that does all of the things that you need it to do. Petboost is tailored specifically to the animal industry having features that no other booking system I have used previously has. I have worked in the industry for a number of years in grooming, daycare & training & have always had to use a mish mash of a number of systems & trackers to book & collect money. For my training business this software does everything I need it to do so I don't have to keep track of a number of different aspects across various platforms. It has simplified my life immensely."

"I no longer have to chase clients for late payments"
"Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually."

"Zero missed payments. Zero no-shows."
"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'."

"Foolproof, Easy-to-Use Booking with All the Accessories I Needed"
"Petboost is foolproof, easy to use, access and has all the accessories that I was seeking in an online booking platform. I genuinely love the AI Grazi, the talking dog — every time I need help locating or using a feature, Grazi helps me. I have used her to find invoices, change my reminder schedule and to locate appointments. Petboost provides a multi-purpose booking site for my small business. I needed a booking site that was accessible to clients and could allow me to load multiple locations for different days. The system provides reminders, uses both SMS and email, and has a card-on-file feature that holds funds securely. Essentially Petboost is making my job easier by doing the hard admin work for me."
