Mahi Time
For pet grooming NZ and Australia

Pet grooming booking software for salon and mobile groomers

Breed-aware durations, vaccination records, travel time for the mobile rig, and a pickup SMS the moment the dog is ready. Built for the way Kiwi groomers actually run a day.

What changes when you run pet grooming on Mahi Time

Bookings by breed

A groodle full groom is not a chihuahua tidy-up. Set durations and pricing by breed and coat so the calendar actually holds.

Travel time for mobile rigs

Set travel minutes per suburb so two appointments never put you in two places at once.

Vaccination + pet records

Store each pet's vaccination status, coat notes, temperament and handling warnings against the owner's profile.

Pickup SMS

One tap sends a "your dog is ready" text. No more phone tag with owners halfway through a wash.

Deposits stop no-shows

A no-show on a 2-hour full groom is a dead slot. Take a deposit per service to keep bookings honest.

Made for Aotearoa

NZD pricing, NZ phone format, GST-ready reports, hosted locally in Australia and New Zealand, support in NZ hours.

Questions pet grooming owners ask

Can the duration change by dog breed or size?

Yes. Set up services per breed or coat type, each with its own duration and price, so the calendar reflects how long the groom really takes.

Does it work for a mobile-only grooming van?

Yes. Set travel time per suburb or region and Mahi Time spaces appointments so you are never double-booked across town.

Can I store vaccination records and temperament notes?

Yes. Each pet has a profile with vaccination status, coat history, temperament and any handling warnings, all visible on the booking screen.

Can owners book a specific groomer?

Yes. Owners pick "any" or a named groomer. You can also flag services that only one groomer does.
