Free grooming booking form for pet groomers in New Zealand
A pet groomer in New Zealand needs a grooming booking form that asks the right questions, shows prices in NZD, uses +64 phone numbers and fits the Privacy Act 2020. CalendarForm gives you that form free for 250 submissions a month, joined to a booking page that shows times in Pacific/Auckland (UTC+12, UTC+13 during daylight saving).

What to put on a grooming booking form in New Zealand
- Owner's name
- Pet's name, breed and size
- Vaccinations up to date? (yes / no)
- Behaviour notes (nervous, bites, matted coat)
- Service (bath / full groom / nails)
- Phone, in the local format (for example +64 21 123 4567)
- Preferred language (English and Māori)
- Consent: "I agree to the pet groomer using these details for my booking, as set out in the privacy notice (the Privacy Act 2020)"
Show the price as text on the booking page, for example "NZ$35 for a full groom for a small dog, pay by EFTPOS and card". CalendarForm does not take payment itself, so customers pay you the way they already do in New Zealand.
What pet groomers usually let customers book
- Bath and tidy (small dog): a 1-to-1 appointment, 60 min
- Full groom (large dog): a 1-to-1 appointment, 120 min
- Nail trim: a 1-to-1 appointment, 15 min
CalendarForm lets a pet groomer take bookings by service and size, and collect the pet details you need before the dog or cat arrives: breed, weight, vaccinations and temperament.
Use separate services for small and large dogs.
Add a buffer to clean the table between pets.
Ask about temperament so you can plan the session.

Privacy: what the Privacy Act 2020 means for this form
Nationally, the Privacy Act 2020 is collect only what you need for the booking and tell people what it is for.
CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.
Booking times in New Zealand
New Zealand changes its clocks for daylight saving, so a Bath and tidy (small dog) at 18:00 stays at 18:00 local time all year. CalendarForm skips times that do not exist on the night the clocks go forward.
Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Pacific/Auckland, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.
Set it up in four steps
- Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Grooming booking form".
- Set the time zone to Pacific/Auckland and add your opening hours.
- Edit the questions above, add the the Privacy Act 2020 consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
- Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.
Questions
- Can an owner book for two pets?
- They book once per pet so each gets the right time.
- Can I run a mobile grooming van?
- Yes. Ask for the address on the form and leave travel time as buffer.
- Is a free grooming booking form enough for pet groomers in New Zealand?
- For most small pet groomers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in NZD.
- Does the form follow the Privacy Act 2020?
- The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the Privacy Act 2020 is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.
- Can I write the form in English?
- Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in English and Māori.
