For grooming salons, mobile and home-based groomers · Built in Australia
A cocker spaniel with a matted coat is not a forty-minute booking, and pricing it like one is how groomers lose money all day. Set duration and price by breed and coat, keep temperament and vaccination notes on the pet’s file, and send the pick-up text the moment they’re done. Flat monthly fee, no commission.

The problem
With Trimsy
Groomers across Australia work three different ways. Trimsy is the same tool for all of them — set up for the way you work.
Several groomers, a front counter, dogs arriving and leaving all day.
You, a van, and a day of driveways — with no office to ring back from.
One dog at a time, a small number of slots, and every no-show is a real hole in the week.
Why it matters
The fastest way for a grooming business to lose a day is a booking system that treats every dog as an hour. A matted double-coat can take three times a puppy trim, and when the calendar doesn’t know that, the whole afternoon runs late and every later client waits. Pricing and timing by breed and coat means the schedule reflects the work, and the surcharge conversation happens at booking rather than over a half-clipped dog.
The pick-up text is the other half: fewer dogs sitting in crates waiting for owners who had no idea they were ready.
From the breed-based quote and the drop-off to the temperament note, the pick-up text, and the next groom.
Name, breed, weight, age and photo on the animal — with the notes that matter, so nothing is retyped and nothing is remembered wrong.
Quote de-matting and de-shedding as add-ons before you start, not as an awkward conversation after.
One tap sends “ready for collection” — dogs spend less time crated and owners stop guessing.
Handling warnings, muzzle requirements and quirks on the pet file for whoever is on shift.
Stored with expiry dates and flagged before the next appointment.
Six- or eight-weekly schedules booked once and reminded automatically.
Runs on a phone in the van, with the day’s bookings in order and each dog’s notes.
Photos on the pet record — useful for the owner and for your socials.
Card at pick-up, deposits on big grooms, shampoo and accessories rung up on the same sale, receipts sent automatically.
Owners book online at any hour — the dog, the service, the groomer they like, the time. It lands in your day without the phone ringing while you’re elbow-deep in a golden retriever.
Each groomer’s day side by side, so you can see who has room. Walk-ins check in on a tablet and wait their turn instead of crowding the counter.
Points on every visit and rules you set — a free bath after ten grooms, say. Owners see their balance themselves, and the six-weekly habit sticks.
What it costs
A flat monthly fee in AUD. Nothing per booking, nothing per job, and the card rate you pay is your provider's own — Trimsy adds nothing to it.
$24.99 /month

Every answer here is checked against the product, including the bits that are a plain no.
Start free trialYes. Trimsy installs to your phone’s home screen from the browser — no app store — and shows your day in order, with each dog’s address, breed, and handling notes. Owners book online and get their reminders by SMS, so the phone isn’t ringing while you’re mid-groom.
Yes. Set the price and the time by breed and coat, and add de-matting or de-shedding as an add-on before you start — so the matted double coat is booked and priced as the two-hour job it is, not the forty-minute one the owner had in mind.
Three ways, and you can use all of them. Reminders go out automatically before the appointment. You can require a deposit — a fixed amount or a percentage — to confirm an online booking, and unpaid bookings release themselves. And with a card on file you can charge a no-show fee from the booking.
No. An owner can book several pets in one visit, each with its own service and its own time, and each dog keeps its own file: breed, weight, temperament, vaccinations, and photos.
You can import your owners from a CSV — name, email, phone, and loyalty points. Pets aren’t part of that import: they’re added the first time each dog comes in, or by the owner when they book, and from then on the file carries forward.
No. They book, reschedule, and check their loyalty points from a browser, on your own booking page.
A flat monthly fee, with no commission and no per-booking charge — a busy Saturday costs you the same as a quiet Tuesday. There’s a 14-day free trial, and you don’t need a card to start it.
