Pet business web design · hand-coded from £400
Mobile-first sites with a real before-and-after gallery, your services and prices, and a one-tap booking widget above the fold. Hand-coded from £400. £0 monthly hosting. Pet owners book in the evenings, your site should be open then.
Most pet business websites are designed for the wrong moment. They open with a stock photo of a generic spaniel, a paragraph about how much you love animals, and a contact form that asks for the dog's life story. That works on a noticeboard at the vets. It does not work for the actual visitor, who is almost always on a phone in the evening, scrolling through "dog groomer near me" results, and deciding in about ten seconds whether to enquire with you or with the next listing.
A pet business website's job is to answer five questions, fast: what do you actually offer (full groom, puppy first cut, hand strip, day walks, overnight sitting), how much does it cost roughly, where are you or where do you cover, can I see your work, and can I book right now. Everything else (your training, your insurance, your kennel club affiliations, your blog) is secondary. Pet owners are not buying philosophy, they are buying confidence and convenience.
That is what this page is selling. Not "a website for your pet business." A website built so that when somebody scrolls past your search listing on a Tuesday evening, they tap, see the gallery, see the price, and book before they switch tabs.
Services and starting prices, a one-tap book button, your area covered, and a tap-to-call number all visible above the fold on a phone. Pet owners scroll, they do not read.
A real, editable gallery of your work. Side-by-side comparisons for grooms, action shots for walks, sleepy faces for sitting. Upload from a phone after each appointment, no developer needed.
Single appointments, recurring weekly walks, or overnight stays. Calendar auto-blocks when a slot fills. Confirmations to your inbox and the customer's. No per-booking commission, no third-party checkout.
The latest 4 to 5 star reviews pulled from your Google Business Profile automatically. No manual copying. Schema markup so Google can show your star rating in search results.
For mobile groomers, home boarders, and dog walkers without a shopfront. Shows postcodes or towns covered, with route-based pricing if needed. Marked up in LocalBusiness schema for Google.
LocalBusiness or PetGroomingService schema (matched to your business), opening hours and service area marked up in JSON-LD, address linked to your Google Business Profile. Built to rank for "dog groomer near me" and "dog walker [town]" in your area.
Kasto is a plant-based restaurant, not a pet business, but the architecture is identical: mobile-first hero, editable service list (menu in their case), integrated booking, atmosphere photography (gallery in your case). Swap "menu" for "services" and "atmosphere" for "before / after gallery" and the template runs a grooming business.
Chef Giuseppe wanted the site to feel like the room: warm, cinematic, plant-forward. The old Wix site looked generic, loaded slowly, and cost more every month than the espresso budget. Editing the menu took the chef away from the kitchen, which is the worst place to lose time during service.
The new build ships a password-protected editor that the chef updates from a phone between services. Bookings route directly to the kitchen inbox. No third-party widget, no drop-off, no monthly platform fee. The same architecture handles a grooming business: the editor is your services and gallery, bookings are appointment slots, the case study photography is the proof of your work.

The architecture is the same. The homepage's headline action changes to match how customers actually buy from your format.
Lead with the before-and-after gallery and starting prices by coat type. Single-appointment booking widget with breed-aware time slots. Drop-off / collection times visible.
Lead with the area covered (map) and route-based pricing. Calendar shows which days you cover which postcodes. Photo of the van so customers know what to look for.
Lead with recurring weekly slots and group vs solo walk pricing. Service area map. Photo gallery from recent walks. Insurance and DBS check called out clearly.
Lead with availability calendar, day vs overnight rates, and what's included. Home photos for boarders, neighbourhood photos for sitters. Insurance and reviews above the fold.
Lead with visit length options, area covered, and reassurance photos (real, not stock). Optional "send daily photo updates" feature for nervous owners. Clear price per visit.
Grooming plus walks plus sitting under one roof. Booking widget routes to the right calendar. Cross-sell suggestions ("book a walk after grooming"). One source of truth for availability.
Multi-service business (grooming plus walks plus sitting)? Signature adds brand kit, logo design, and a multi-service booking flow from £1,200. See full pricing and tiers →
Six things visible within two seconds on a phone: your services and starting prices, a one-tap book or enquire button, your address or service area (with a map for mobile and home services), at least one strong before-and-after photo of your work, recent Google Reviews, and a tap-to-call phone number. Pet owners want fast reassurance that you're real, local, and good with their dog. Lead with the gallery and the booking, not the about page.
A pet business website in the UK costs £400 to £1,200 from a freelance hand-coded developer with a Supporter Credit (£800 to £1,600 standard), £2,000 to £6,000 from a small agency, or £15 to £30 per month on Wix or Squarespace, which adds up to £900 to £1,800 over five years without you ever owning the code. For a one or two-person grooming business with thin margins, a one-off freelance build pays for itself in saved platform fees inside 18 months.
Yes, even at a one-person operation. Pet owners book grooming and walks in the evenings and weekends when they cannot call. Without an online booking option, you forfeit bookings to the next groomer who has one. The included widget handles single appointments, recurring bookings, and a calendar that auto-blocks when a slot fills. Routes confirmations to your inbox and the customer's. No per-booking commission. No third-party checkout.
Yes, on the £800 Standard tier and above. A single password-protected editor lets you change a price, add a service, upload new before / after photos, or block out holiday dates from a phone in under a minute. Changes go live in about 30 seconds. No developer needed for ongoing changes, ever.
Yes. Every build ships LocalBusiness or AnimalShelter or PetGroomingService schema (matched to your business), opening hours marked up in JSON-LD so Google can show them in the snippet, the address linked to your Google Business Profile, and 97 to 100 PageSpeed scores. Combined that gives you the best technical foundation possible for ranking on "dog groomer near me", "dog walker [town]", "pet sitter near me" in your area.
Yes. Mobile groomers, home boarders, and dog walkers without a fixed address use a service area map instead of a single pin. The site shows the postcodes or towns covered, with route-based pricing if needed. LocalBusiness schema marks up the service area for Google. Works the same as a fixed-address build, the homepage layout adapts.
