Stop Last-Minute Bookings From Derailing Your Day.
Set minimum advance booking times per service so you always have time to prepare.
A full groom booked 30 minutes before is not a gift, it is a problem. Petboost lets you set minimum notice periods per service so you only receive bookings you can actually fulfil. Your grooming services might need 24 hours notice, while a nail trim can be same-day. You set the rules.
Last-minute bookings throw your day into chaos. You are either scrambling to fit them in (and rushing your existing clients) or declining them and feeling like you are losing revenue. Without configurable notice periods, your booking system accepts everything regardless of feasibility.
How Petboost helps
Petboost lets you set minimum booking notice per service so only feasible bookings come through.
Explore Smart Booking RulesSet different notice periods for different services (24 hours for grooming, 2 hours for nail trims).
Notice periods apply automatically to online booking, preventing last-minute bookings from appearing.
Your team can still manually create short-notice bookings when appropriate.
Configurable per service type so complex services get more lead time than simple ones.

"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."

"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."

"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'."
