Keep your grooming van full, every route, every day
You're driving a fully-equipped mobile salon to driveways across town. When a regular cancels their standing 6-week appointment, it throws off your entire day. Arrively fills gaps from nearby clients, manages recurring cycles, and accounts for real drive time so you never overbook.

One cancellation unravels your whole route
Your day is planned geographically — Northside in the morning, Southside after lunch. When a 10 AM Goldendoodle cancels, you can't just slide the next appointment earlier without adding 20 minutes of drive time.
Recurring cycles are hard to track manually
Mrs. Chen's Bichon comes every 4 weeks. The Hendersons' Lab is every 6. You're managing dozens of recurring appointments in your head, a spreadsheet, or sticky notes on your dashboard.
Breed and coat type change everything
A Standard Poodle full groom takes 2+ hours. A Beagle bath-and-nail is 45 minutes. Generic one-hour slots either rush you or waste time between appointments.
Driving between appointments eats your day
Without drive-time awareness, you end up booking back-to-back appointments an hour apart across town. Every unnecessary drive is time you can't groom.
Built for how you actually work
Location-aware gap filling
When a client cancels, Arrively texts nearby customers with upcoming appointments to offer them the earlier slot. Gaps fill quickly because the outreach targets people in your area, not across town.
Automated recurring appointments
Set each client's grooming cycle (every 4, 6, or 8 weeks) and Arrively auto-schedules their next appointment. Clients get a reminder text to confirm, and you stop chasing rebookings.
Breed-specific service durations
Define grooming packages by size and coat type — 45 minutes for a short-coat bath, 2.5 hours for a double-coat full groom. Your schedule reflects the real time each dog needs.
Drive-time built into every slot
Arrively calculates real drive time between each driveway. Clients only see appointment slots where you'll be in their area, so you move through neighborhoods instead of bouncing around.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Service packages by breed/size
Build packages like 'Large Breed Full Groom' or 'Puppy First Groom' with preset durations and pricing. Clients pick the right one when they book.
SMS appointment reminders
Automatic texts remind pet parents the day before. They can confirm, reschedule, or cancel with one tap — giving you time to fill the gap.
Mobile app for your van
Check your schedule, see grooming notes for each pet, and update job status between appointments. Works offline in areas with spotty service.
Online booking page
Clients see available slots near their location, pick a service package, and book in seconds. Great for new client acquisition from Google or social media.
Calendar sync
Block off personal time, vet appointments, or supply runs. Your personal calendar syncs automatically so nothing overlaps.
Simple, predictable pricing
No per-seat fees. No annual contracts. Just pay for the jobs you schedule.
