Your first groom, step by step.

Create your account

Sign up with your email. Verify it from your inbox and you're in. No credit card needed.

💡 Tip: Use the email you check most often — that's where reset links and notifications go.

Name your shop

In Settings, set your shop name. This shows at the top of every owner's tracking page so they know it's from you.

💡 Tip: Even if you're solo, give it a real name like 'Maya's Mobile Grooming'.

(Optional) Tweak your stages

Default stages cover most groomers: Checked in → Bathing → Drying → Grooming → Ready. Rename or reorder them anytime to match your flow.

💡 Tip: On Free, you can edit your existing stages but can't add new ones. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited custom stages, plus your own logo and brand color on owner tracking pages.

Check in your first dog

Tap 'Check in' on the dashboard. Add a profile pic (optional), the pet, owner, and a phone number. Hit go — GroomTrackr creates a tracking link automatically.

💡 Tip: Snap the profile pic right at check-in so it shows up on the owner's tracking page from the start.

Send the tracking link

Copy the link and text it to the owner. They open it in any browser — no app needed.

Tap to update as you work

When you move from bathing to drying to ready, tap the stage. The owner's page updates instantly.

Send a photo mid-groom

Tap the photo button on the appointment, pick a pic, preview it, then hit 'Send to owner & set as profile pic'. It pushes to the owner's page and saves as the dog's profile picture in one step.

Pin a note (optional)

Type a quick message in the 'Pinned note for owner' box — running late, special shampoo, anything — then tap 'Send note'. Nothing goes live until you tap Send.

Complete the groom

Once the dog has been picked up, scroll to the bottom of the appointment and tap 'Mark picked up & complete'. It's archived off your dashboard but stays in the dog's history.
