Withers
What Withers is
Withers is a paid platform for pet grooming businesses that brings appointments, pet and client records, booking requests, and customer communications into one service. A shared schedule can cover salon and mobile grooming, boarding, and daycare, with staff columns and recurring visits. Household pet profiles can store notes, alerts, vaccine details, tags, and photos; businesses can import information from Excel or CSV. Clients can request grooming, boarding, or daycare through a public booking page and pet parent hub, and the business can accept or adjust requests before they reach the calendar. Boarding includes a kennel board and care log. Daycare provides a daily roster, room limits, check-in and check-out, and a waitlist. Messaging includes confirmations, reminders, a shared inbox, and English and Spanish templates. Clients can opt in through booking or intake and reply STOP to opt out. Withers Flow can connect Stripe for card payments, while checkout also supports cash, tips, discounts, deposits, store credit, and refunds. The Withers plan costs $99 a month, billed monthly, with full platform features, cancellation anytime, and no long-term contracts. The service is available on web, iOS, and Android.
