Shearboard is a business management SaaS built specifically for mobile and in-store pet groomers. Rather than being a generic scheduling tool, it is designed around the pet grooming workflow, covering day-to-day operations such as appointments, client reminders, route planning, client/pet profiles, invoicing, and payments. Overall, it is best suited for small service teams looking to quickly replace manual spreadsheets, SMS reminders, and fragmented payment collection processes.
Its core modules include smart scheduling, a drag-and-drop calendar, double-booking prevention, automated SMS and email reminders, mobile access with route optimization, PDF invoices, one-click Stripe payments, and client/pet profiles. Profiles can store service history, notes, temperament tags, and service preferences, which is particularly valuable for pet grooming businesses that depend on repeat customers and need to account for the differences between individual pets. The client booking portal allows customers to submit appointment requests online, while the business still retains control over schedule approval. For teams, plans are differentiated by user count: Solo supports 1 user, Studio supports up to 5 users, and Enterprise supports unlimited users. However, the site does not disclose role-based permissions, location grouping, or granular access control.
Pricing is straightforward: Solo is $29 per month and includes 1 user, 200 clients, and email support; Studio is $59 per month and includes up to 5 users, unlimited clients, and priority support; Enterprise is $99 per month and offers unlimited users, unlimited clients, and dedicated support. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, no setup fees, no contracts, and cancellation at any time. The entry barrier is reasonable for solo groomers, and the upgrade path for small teams is clear.
The strengths are its clear vertical focus, end-to-end coverage from booking to payment collection, and route optimization for mobile grooming scenarios. The pricing page is transparent, and the trial terms are friendly. The drawbacks are also apparent: beyond Stripe, no additional third-party integrations are disclosed; there is no visible API, webhook, or developer documentation; information on data security, backups, and compliance certifications is missing; and the terms of service page appears to still be in draft form, which may affect confidence in enterprise purchasing.
Shearboard is suitable for solo pet groomers, mobile grooming providers, and small pet grooming shops. Access from China cannot be confirmed based on the available text, and there is no mention of Chinese language support, local payment methods, or domestic SMS channels. Payments rely on Stripe, which may be subject to account and settlement limitations for merchants in mainland China. If the primary customer base is in China, alternatives such as WeCom, WeChat Mini Program booking, domestic payment collection, and a combination of form/CRM tools may be worth considering.
