Free for solo groomers
Free grooming software that does not charge you to exist
You are already doing the grooming, the booking, the billing, and the marketing. Packyard handles the admin—without taking a cut or charging a monthly fee. No credit card required. No trial that expires. Just free.
Why solo groomers choose free software
Built for how solo groomers actually work
You do not have a front desk. You do not have backup. You need software that helps—not another bill.
No monthly fees eating your margin
Other grooming software charges $30-$80/month. That is $360-$960/year before you groom your first dog. Packyard Solo is $0—forever.
Online booking that works while you are under the dryer
Clients book 24/7. You approve or auto-confirm. No more phone tag between grooms. Your booking page is always open even when your hands are full.
Client and pet records in one place
Notes, coat types, behavior flags, photos—all stored so you remember Bella's last cut six weeks later. Never ask "remind me what we did last time" again.
Square payments, tips, and checkout built in
Keep your existing Square setup. Services flow straight to checkout without re-entering totals. Tips captured cleanly. End-of-day reports that match reality.
Automated reminders that reduce no-shows
Text reminders go out automatically before appointments. Fewer missed appointments means less lost income and wasted prep time.
Works on your phone, tablet, or laptop
Check tomorrow's schedule from bed. Update a pet's notes between grooms. No app download required—just your browser.
Everything you need to run your solo shop
Not a crippled trial. Not a bait-and-switch. A real plan for real groomers.

Frequently asked questions about free grooming software
What solo groomers usually ask before they sign up.
Is Packyard really free for solo groomers?
Yes. The Solo plan is 100% free forever for single-groomer businesses. No credit card required, no trial that expires. We make money when you grow and upgrade to add staff—until then, use everything at no cost.
What is the catch with free grooming software?
No catch. You get unlimited clients, online booking, SMS reminders, and Square payments. The only limits are features designed for teams: multiple staff, advanced reporting, and multi-location support. Those require Pro or Shop plans.
Can I use Square with the free plan?
Absolutely. Square integration is included in the free Solo plan. Connect your existing Square account—same payouts, same fees, same bank. Packyard just becomes the scheduling and client management layer on top.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Packyard works in your browser on any device—phone, tablet, or laptop. Bookmark it and go. No app store, no updates to install, no storage space needed.
Can I import my clients from another system?
Yes. Export your client and pet data from your old software (MoeGo, Gingr, spreadsheets, etc.) and import it into Packyard. We guide you through the process so you are not starting from scratch.
What happens if I hire help and need to add staff?
Upgrade to Pro ($39/mo) for staff scheduling or Shop ($79/mo) for teams and advanced features. Your data, clients, and settings all stay—you just unlock multi-user features. Downgrade anytime if you go back to solo.
Is this the best free software for mobile groomers?
We built Packyard specifically for groomers—not salons, not spas, not generic service businesses. The free Solo plan includes everything a mobile groomer needs: scheduling, client management, online booking, and Square payments. No other free grooming software offers this combination.
How is Packyard different from other grooming software?
Most grooming software charges $30-$80/month from day one. The Packyard Solo plan is free forever for single groomers. Plus, we are built around Square integration—not fighting it or charging extra for it. If you use Square, Packyard just works.
