Booking & Scheduling Made Simple
Stop juggling phone calls and paper calendars. Alaga's smart scheduling system handles appointments, reminders, and the Waitlist automatically—so you can focus on pets, not admin.
Who it's for
From one groomer to a full facility
The calendar is the same on every plan. What changes is how many people share it and what else it has to talk to.
Solo groomer
From StarterOne calendar, a booking page with your name on it, and email reminders that go out without you. Book by hand or let clients book themselves.
Salon with several groomers
From StarterA column per groomer, drag-and-drop between them, and multi-lane columns for anyone who runs a soak and a blow-dry at the same time.
Mobile groomer
From ProfessionalBook by client address and let the Route Planner order the day's stops.
Boarding or daycare facility
From PremiumReservations live on their own calendar with room availability checked at booking; the Kennel Board runs the day.

Every groomer's schedule, side by side
See your entire team's day in one view. Each staff member gets their own column with appointment count badges, pet flags, and color-coded time blocks. Groomers who handle multiple pets at once get multi-lane columns — so you can stack a bath soak while blow-drying another.
- Multi-lane columns for staff handling concurrent appointments
- Color-coded by type: teal for grooming, violet for training
- Drag-and-drop to reschedule or reassign between staff
