DaySmart Pet review
A broad operations suite for established salons that need more than scheduling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DaySmart Pet is business management software for pet groomers, daycare providers, boarding kennels, and mobile grooming businesses. Its core combines drag-and-drop appointment scheduling, a customizable online booking website, automated text and email reminders, recurring appointments, client and pet profiles, integrated payments, and reporting. The product also covers employee scheduling, payroll, commissions, time clocks, digital consent and vaccination forms, and mobile appointment management with route mapping. That breadth makes it a fit for established salons and multi-service pet-care businesses that want scheduling and operational tools in one system.
Pricing is organized around increasing team and business-management needs. Basic costs $29 per month and includes one user, scheduling, automated reminders, credit card processing, a mobile app, online booking, and reporting. Deluxe costs $69 per month and adds three users, employee management, digital forms, payroll, a client loyalty system, and email marketing. Deluxe Growth costs $149 per month and adds text marketing, two-way texting, and reputation management. Premium costs $199 per month and adds six users, QuickBooks Online, and additional text and email messages. Premium Growth adds unlimited users, expense tracking, sliding-scale commission, commission exceptions, and overtime rules. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card.
DaySmart Pet supports web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, giving salons several ways to manage appointments and mobile work. Listed integrations include Beresford, Glammatic, and QuickBooks, while the mobile app adds appointment management and route mapping. Its strongest case is for businesses that need pet records, recurring scheduling, payments, staff administration, and communication features together. Smaller operators with one user and straightforward scheduling may find the higher-tier operational breadth unnecessary, while growing salons can select plans as payroll, marketing, accounting, and team requirements expand.
