How quickly does availability update?

Instantly. When you make any change to your calendar (booking, reschedule, block, cancellation), the client-facing availability updates in real time.

What if two clients try to book the same slot at the same time?

Petboost uses slot reservation to hold a time while a client is completing their booking. If another client tries to book the same slot, they will see it as unavailable.

Does availability factor in buffer time and capacity?

Yes. Your working hours, blocked time, buffer settings between appointments, team capacity, and resource limits are all automatically factored into the availability shown to clients.

Scheduling & Booking

Clients See Live Availability. You See Fewer Phone Calls.

Real-time calendar sync means clients always book into genuinely available slots.

When a client opens your booking page, they see exactly what is available right now. Not what was available an hour ago. Not what might be available. Live, accurate, up-to-the-minute availability that updates as your calendar changes. No more back-and-forth about when you are free.

Sound Familiar?

Clients message you asking "when are you free?" and you spend 10 minutes going back and forth before settling on a time. Or worse, your booking page shows stale availability and you end up with double bookings or phantom slots that were already taken.

How Petboost helps

Petboost syncs your availability in real time so clients always see an accurate picture of when you can fit them in.

Explore Online Booking

Live calendar sync updates availability instantly when you book, reschedule, or block time.

Slot reservation holds a time slot while the client completes their booking, preventing race conditions.

Working hours, blocked time, and buffer settings are all factored into availability automatically.

Resource and team capacity limits filter availability so clients only see genuinely bookable slots.

Why It Matters

Key Benefits

Zero back-and-forth

Clients see what is available and pick a slot. No texting, no calling, no endless "how about Tuesday?"

Accurate to the minute

Your availability updates in real time. The moment you book or block a slot, it disappears from the client view.

Race-condition protection

Slot reservation holds a time while a client is mid-booking, preventing two clients from grabbing the same slot.

Fully automated

Your working hours, blocked time, buffer settings, and capacity limits all feed into availability automatically. Nothing to manage manually.

"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."

"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."

"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'."
