Keeping clients satisfied is at the heart of the pet care industry. Whether you’re running a grooming salon, boarding pets overnight, or working from a mobile station, Aurora gives you payment solutions that keep up with how you work and meet the needs of your customers.
- Mobile Payments
- Track Deposits & Tips
- Recurring Billing
- Simple Invoicing
Accept payments anywhere
Whether you’re behind the counter, in the grooming van, or visiting a client’s home, mobile readers and tap-to-pay technology let you take secure payments wherever the job takes you. It’s perfect for mobile groomers, dog walkers, or facilities offering curbside service, giving you the flexibility to collect payments on the spot without delay.

Track deposits and tipping with ease
Managing deposits and tips doesn’t have to be complicated. Our payment tools let you apply deposits automatically to the final bill, so there’s no manual tracking or double entry. Clients can also add tips directly from mobile terminals or during checkout, streamlining the experience for both staff and pet parents.

Recurring billing for pet packages
If you offer monthly grooming memberships or prepaid boarding or doggy daycare packages, recurring billing makes it easy to automate payments. Securely store card information for repeat clients and eliminate the need for manual invoicing or chasing down payments. It’s a great way to build loyalty and ensure predictable revenue.

Simple, professional invoicing for pet care
Send branded invoices that look professional and are easy for clients to pay. Whether it’s for grooming packages, boarding add-ons, or last-minute appointments, you can invoice directly from your dashboard and offer secure payment links for fast, convenient checkout.

Support that keeps up with your pet grooming or boarding business
In pet care, there’s no time to wait when something goes wrong. Our U.S.-based support team understands the urgency of your day-to-day and is ready to help with fast answers and real solutions. Whether you’re processing payments at the front desk or in the field, we make sure your system works when you need it most.
Embedded invoices for pet services software providers
Our API lets you integrate invoicing and payment links into your existing workflows so pet care providers can bill for grooming, boarding, or add-ons without switching tools. It’s fast to implement and built for seamless client checkout.
