Website builder for pet groomers
What you charge, what the work looks like, and a booking that doesn't double-book the tub.
Grooming prices depend on the dog, which is exactly the thing a fixed template can't express — a single price list is either wrong or vague.
Describe the salon and the services become a real table you can shape by size, coat or breed, with a gallery beside it. Bookings hold the slot and refuse once the day is full.
What they came for
What people want from a pet grooming salon website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
What will it cost for my dog?
Grooming price depends on the animal, so the services table takes the columns that decide it — size, coat, breed — instead of forcing one number that is either wrong or vague.
Will they be gentle with him?
The line about anxious animals, single-dog appointments or no cage drying belongs near the top, in the short-facts section, because it is what a nervous owner is weighing up.
Can I get a slot this month?
The booking holds the slot against the capacity you set and refuses once the day is full, rather than taking a booking you'd have to phone back and cancel.
What does the finished dog look like?
A gallery of your own before-and-after work, which shows the result more directly than a description can.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on pet grooming salon websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
One price for every dog
A single price has to be adjusted when the dog arrives. Pricing by size or coat sets the expectation before the appointment.
Nothing about how nervous dogs are handled
How you handle an anxious animal is a common question and is often left off the page. Two sentences about it answer what an owner is weighing up.
No before and after
Grooming has a visible result. A before-and-after photograph shows it more directly than a description can.
What gets built
What a pet grooming salon website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for pet groomers, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a pet grooming salon with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most pet groomers need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Bookings hold the slot against the capacity you set and stop accepting once it's full, so the site can't promise a time you can't keep.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“Professional pet grooming with a personal touch.”
Specific
“One dog at a time, no cage drying, and as long as it takes for an anxious one to settle.”
The second sentence answers the question an anxious owner is asking.
General
“Prices on enquiry.”
Specific
“Small breeds from £35, doubles and matted coats quoted on sight — send a photo and we'll tell you.”
A starting price sets an expectation while leaving room for the dog you haven't seen.
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for pet groomers
- Can I price by size or coat type?
- Yes. Services are a table whose columns you choose, so a price that depends on size or coat is a column rather than a compromise.
- Can people book without calling?
- Yes, and the booking holds the slot — once a day is full it stops accepting rather than taking a booking you'd have to phone back and cancel. Each one arrives by email and is kept as a record.
- Can I say we handle anxious animals?
- Yes, and it should be near the top — the short-facts section is exactly for the handful of things that decide whether someone chooses you.
- Can the booking ask for the dog's details?
- Yes. The form's fields are yours — breed, weight, temperament, last groom — and every answer is kept on the record with the booking, so you know what's arriving before it arrives.
- Can I show a before and after?
- Yes. There is a before/after section that puts the same animal on one slider, which does more than a page of description.
- Can I take a deposit?
- The site captures the booking and the details; taking money stays however you take it today. What it will not do is accept a slot you can't honour — capacity is checked when the booking is made, not afterwards.
Where this isn't the right tool
It will not run a client record with vaccination dates, coat notes and a groom history. If you need that, keep the grooming software; Sitemo is the website in front of it, and it will hold the booking and the details the first time somebody gets in touch.
