Per-groomer bookable diaries
Each groomer has their own bookable hours, breaks and time off — owners only see real availability.
The all-in-one booking platform for pet grooming
Pet grooming booking software for busy groomers
Per-groomer diaries, customer notes for breed and coat, cards saved on file at booking and reminders that keep regulars coming back.
No charge for 7 days. Cancel any time.
Velixa is pet grooming booking software that keeps a record of every owner and the notes you need on their pet. Owners book online, each groomer has their own diary, and automatic email reminders (with optional SMS top-ups) cut no-shows.
Online booking
Let owners book themselves, day or night
Stop running your grooming business from a phone-line. Velixa puts every diary online so owners pick the slot, the staff member and the groom they want — without a call back.
- Real-time availability on every device
- Per-staff bookable diaries with breaks and time off
- Hosted booking page plus an embeddable widget
Payments
Card secured before they walk in
Every booking saves a card on file via Stripe — no charge at reservation. After a full breed groom, charge the stored card with one tap. Money lands in a Stripe account in your name, never ours. If a owner cancels late or doesn't show, apply a fee to their saved card under your cancellation policy.
- Card saved on file — no charge until after the appointment
- Late-cancel and no-show fees charged to the stored card
- Payouts to a Stripe account in your name
Repeat revenue

Most grooming businesss leave money on the table by only selling time. Velixa adds packages, memberships, gift cards and loyalty stamps — all on the same booking page, all in the same dashboard.
- Pre-paid service packages
- Recurring memberships via Stripe
- Branded gift cards and loyalty stamps

Frequently asked questions
Real answers about how Velixa works for pet grooming.
Can I keep notes on each pet?
Yes — every customer card has a notes area where you can record breed, size, coat type, last service and any handling notes for next time.
How do you cut no-shows on grooming bookings?
Every booking saves a card on file via Stripe — no charge at reservation. If an owner doesn't show, you can apply a no-show fee to their stored card directly from the payment row in your dashboard.
Can each groomer have their own diary?
Yes — every groomer has their own bookable diary, hours and time off, and the booking page only shows real availability.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every Velixa account starts with a 7-day free trial of every feature. We collect your card at signup so the trial rolls automatically into your subscription, but no payment is taken for 7 days and you can cancel any time before then.
Do you charge per booking?
No. Velixa is a flat monthly subscription — take as many bookings as your diary will hold without paying any per-booking commission.
Will my clients get reminders?
Yes — every account sends an automatic email reminder roughly 24 hours before each appointment, included at no extra cost. SMS reminders are an optional pay-as-you-go add-on: top up credits in your dashboard whenever you want text-message nudges as well.
