Doggie Style
A calmer operating system for independent dog groomers.
Doggie Style is being built for groomers who spend their day caring for dogs, serving loyal clients and keeping a small business moving without extra admin help.
iPhone and iPad
See the shop day on the Apple device that fits the moment.
Doggie Style works across the devices groomers already carry through the day: quick checks on iPhone, calmer planning on iPad and the same practical flow for bookings, clients and dogs.
The Founders Edition is free and supports unlimited clients.
Today
Start with a clear read on the day
Open in the morning and see your day. Once the day is underway, the Today view keeps the next dogs, status changes and quick actions close at hand.
It is built for a calm first pass of the workday then transitions for a groomer needing to move from check-in to ready to pickup without losing the thread.
Bookings
Keep appointments easy to scan.
The bookings view keeps the schedule organized without turning the day into a maze of screens.
Groomers can move through appointments quickly, check what is coming up and keep the shop’s daily flow calm.
Booking Details
Put the useful details close to the appointment.
Each booking can carry the dog, client, service notes and visit context a groomer needs before the work begins.
The goal is simple: fewer scattered notes, fewer missed details and more confidence when a regular client walks in.
Edit Bookings
Adjust the visit without breaking the flow.
Real grooming days move. Appointment details need to change quickly when a dog needs extra time, a client shifts pickup or notes become clearer.
Doggie Style keeps those changes close to the booking so the schedule stays useful while the day is still in motion.
New Bookings
Create appointments with the details already connected.
Adding a booking should feel like capturing the work, not filling out a form for its own sake.
The app brings together the dog, client, service and timing in one focused place so a new visit starts cleanly.
Walk-ins
Capture quick visits without slowing down.
Not every dog arrives through a carefully planned booking. Walk-ins need a fast way to capture the owner, dog, service, time and price.
Doggie Style keeps that one-off flow focused, including pickup notes that help the rest of the day stay clear.
Clients
Keep people and dogs connected.
Client records are designed around real grooming relationships: owners, dogs, contact details and the history that helps service feel personal.
It gives independent groomers a focused place to remember the details repeat clients expect them to know.
Dog Profiles
Remember the dog, not just the booking.
Dog profiles keep grooming preferences, notes and visit context attached to the animal at the center of the work.
For a solopreneur, that kind of memory is part of the service customers come back for.
Photo Badges
Spot important dog details at a glance.
Photos help groomers recognize the dog in front of them, while badges keep important cues visible without digging through notes.
Temperament, reactivity, vaccines and other practical flags can stay close to the dog profile where they are easiest to use.
Vaccinations
Track the vaccines that matter to your shop.
Every grooming business has its own comfort level for required vaccines and expiry reminders.
Doggie Style lets groomers choose which vaccinations to track and show alerts where they are useful in dog records.
Services
Reuse the grooming work you do most often.
Most small shops have common services they return to all week: baths, trims, tidy-ups and breed-specific work.
Typical services help keep booking fast while still leaving room for the practical details each dog needs. You control the title, description, pricing and service time.
Service Menu
Build a reusable menu once.
Services can carry the default price, duration, description, icon and walk-in availability a groomer uses again and again.
That keeps common work fast to book while still leaving room to adjust the details when a specific dog needs something different.
Helpful Assistant
Get a little help without losing control.
Sparky is there for moments when a helpful assistant can reduce friction, clarify a workflow or guide the next step.
It supports the groomer’s judgment instead of trying to replace it.
Day Flow
Use help where it fits the work.
Sparky can pull together what your day looks like at a glance. You can also swipe the report to see future business days.
It stays tied to grooming tasks so the app remains calm, practical and under the groomer's control.
Data Control
Hit the ground running.
Training data is provided so you can experiment with the app's cadence and confirm it fits your work reality before entering any of your data.
You can delete the training data any time. Data you entered for your own clients will be untouched.
Help Guide
Put guidance where a busy groomer can find it.
When someone is between dogs, they do not have time to dig through a manual or decode a complicated setup screen.
The help guide keeps practical answers inside the app, close to the work the groomer is already doing.
Help by Function
Find help by the job you are doing.
Doggie Style organizes help around real grooming tasks, so a busy shop owner can jump to the part of the app they are working with.
From bookings and clients to dogs, services and settings, guidance stays tied to the workflow instead of feeling like a separate manual.

Privacy
Your client data stays yours.
Doggie Style does not send your client or business records. Client names, dog names, contact details, grooming notes, photos, appointment dates, prices and other business records remain in the app.
When iCloud is available, Apple syncs those records through your private iCloud account so they can stay available across your Apple devices. We do not receive or use that content.
