About Barkway
Made by a groomer and a software engineer
Kate grooms dogs for a living. Jake writes software.
Jake built Barkway for Kate's own grooming business, and Kate used it on real grooming days and told him what got in the way. It still works that way.
Barkway opened to other groomers on 30th September 2026.

Who we are

What matters
What we believe
- 01
Pricing by bookings, not people.
Plans are priced depending on how many bookings you take. There are no per-user fees, so your whole team is included.
- 02
Every feature on every plan.
You won't need to upgrade to get invoices, reminders or another groomer.
- 03
No Barkway fees on card payments.
Clients pay your business through your own Stripe account. Stripe's normal card fees still apply.
- 04
Your clients stay yours.
We don't list your business anywhere or pass your clients to anyone.
- 05
Built with groomers.
Kate and the groomers using Barkway shape what we build next.
