OpenClaw for Pet Groomers — Appointments, Reminders and Loyalty

Pet grooming is a relationship business. Clients don't just book a service — they trust you with their animal. The best groomers win on consistency, communication, and remembering the details. OpenClaw handles the administrative side of that relationship so your human attention goes where it matters.

Appointment Management

Automated Appointment Reminders

openclaw cron add hex-groomer-reminders \
  --schedule "0 9 * * *" \
  --prompt "Check clients/appointments.json. (1) For appointments in 48 hours, send reminder including: pet name, appointment time, what to bring, cancellation policy. (2) For appointments tomorrow, send a same-day prep tip (e.g., light meal before appointment, short walk to settle the dog)."

Grooming Notes System

openclaw chat "Update grooming notes for Biscuit (Golden Doodle, owner Sarah Chen). Today's visit: (1) Left ear had slight irritation — flagged to owner, (2) Successfully used low-heat dryer — less anxious than previous visits, (3) Trim: kept 2-inch body length per owner preference. Next visit recommendation: 8 weeks. Update clients/pets/biscuit.json"

When Biscuit comes back in 8 weeks, your agent has all the notes ready before the appointment starts.

Re-Booking Automation

openclaw cron add hex-groomer-rebook \
  --schedule "0 10 * * 1" \
  --prompt "Check all pets in clients/pets/ directory. For any pet whose lastGroomDate is within 2 weeks of their nextGroomDue and no appointment scheduled, send a friendly re-booking reminder to the owner. Include your booking link."
