Services · Mobile app development · Pet care apps
We build pet care app development projects in Los Angeles for veterinary practices, grooming salons, mobile groomers, daycares and sitting companies that have outgrown phone calls and text threads. One connected product covers the owner app, the staff app and the management dashboard. California now allows veterinary telehealth under defined conditions, so a Los Angeles clinic can offer video visits inside the same app that handles bookings, reminders and payments, with the legal limits built into the workflow.
Codeeo has no Los Angeles office; we work with LA clients remotely, and discovery, design reviews and demos run by video call. Behind that sits a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and 200+ projects delivered across the UAE and the US. Feedback is collected in shared boards so nothing gets lost between calls.

What an LA pet care app can do
Los Angeles is not one market. A grooming salon in Silver Lake, a doggy daycare in Sherman Oaks, a mobile groomer covering the Westside and a veterinary group with clinics in the San Fernando Valley all serve different customers. Many owners live in apartments without yards, rely on walkers during long commutes, and expect to book from their phone between meetings. Clinics have a new option too: since January 2024, California Business and Professions Code section 4826.6 lets a veterinarian establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship through synchronous audio-video telehealth, subject to limits on prescribing.
The features below are the building blocks we combine for Los Angeles operators. We pick the first set from whatever costs you the most staff time today.
Live audio-video consults for animals located in California, with the client consent, licensee details and visit notes your veterinarians need. Prescribing controls reflect the state limits: no controlled substances or xylazine without an in-person exam or premises visit, and antimicrobials capped at 14 days on a telehealth-only relationship.
Clinics add remote care without guessing where the legal lines sit.
Veterinary appointment app development in Los Angeles means choosing between in-clinic, video or house call visit types, collecting history before arrival and sending reminders that cut no-shows. Bookings sync to your practice management system where the vendor provides an interface. New clients can upload adoption paperwork or prior records from another clinic.
Clinic calendars fill with prepared appointments instead of phone tag.
Pet grooming booking app development in Los Angeles has to cope with salons that run on tight table time and vans that lose an hour on the 405. Booking rules account for coat type, size and add-ons, while van slots are grouped by neighborhood to keep drive time down.
Groomers see a realistic day, and vans stay in one area at a time.
Pet sitting app development in Los Angeles covers recurring walks, overnight stays and drop-ins, with GPS check-in, photo updates, building access notes and parking instructions for the many apartment buildings where sitters cannot simply pull up outside. Recurring walk schedules can be paused for a vacation in two taps.
Owners at work can see the walk happened and how it went.
Monthly wellness plans, daycare memberships and grooming subscriptions with renewal terms shown before payment and a simple online cancel path, which California's Automatic Renewal Law expects for consumer subscriptions.
Recurring revenue without disputes over surprise renewals.
Staff assign dogs to playgroups by size and temperament, log meals, naps and incidents, and send an end-of-day report card with photos. Owners commuting home on the 101 or the 10 can see how the day went before they arrive, and incident notes stay attached to the pet profile for the next visit.
Owners trust the daycare more, and staff stop answering the same questions at pickup.
Owners see vaccines, visit summaries and grooming notes for each pet, while staff control which clinical details are released. California restricts how veterinarians share animal records without client consent, so access rules are set with your practice.
Owners stop calling for vaccine certificates before boarding.
Apple Pay, Google Pay and saved cards through a tokenizing processor, with deposits for new grooming clients, tips for groomers and walkers, and receipts emailed automatically.
Fewer card numbers handled by staff, and faster checkout at pickup.
When fire weather or an evacuation warning affects a neighborhood, boarding operators can message every family with a pet on site, confirm pickups and track who still needs to collect an animal from the dashboard. Pickup confirmations are timestamped for your records.
Clear, fast communication on the days it matters most.
Groups with clinics or salons across Los Angeles, Pasadena, Burbank or Santa Monica get location-level schedules, staff permissions and reporting, plus a combined view for owners and practice managers.
Each site runs its day while leadership sees the whole group.
Who it suits
Permit rules, telehealth options and customer habits differ across Los Angeles, so the first release looks different for each business. Within the City of Los Angeles, Municipal Code section 53.50 requires a permit from LA Animal Services to operate a kennel, pet shop or animal grooming parlor, while LA County's Department of Animal Care and Control inspects grooming parlors, kennels and mobile groomers in the areas it covers. Separate cities such as Santa Monica, Glendale and Pasadena have their own arrangements. Here is how we approach four common starting points. None of this is legal advice; we simply make sure the app records what your business needs to show.
If your veterinarians want video visits, we build the consent flow, licensee disclosure, record keeping and prescribing guardrails around section 4826.6, and confirm each detail with your practice and its counsel. Existing patients can book rechecks remotely, and new clients can start with a video triage that routes to an in-clinic exam when needed. House call veterinarians get route-aware scheduling as well.
Your veterinarians set the clinical rules; the app makes them hard to skip.
Salons in busy neighborhoods such as Los Feliz or Venice need fewer no-shows and smarter rebooking. Mobile groomers need routes grouped by area and arrival messages that account for traffic. We also add the pre-groom consultation notes and handling records that county rules expect in licensed grooming facilities, so they are captured on every visit. Rebooking prompts arrive when each coat type is typically due, not on a fixed calendar.
Permit and inspection documents can be stored in the admin area for quick reference.
Your priorities are capacity, vaccine checks and keeping owners informed during the day. We build reservations, playgroup assignment, report cards with photos and incident logs. Evacuation messaging is planned in from the start for facilities near the hills and canyons. Owners who work long hours in Downtown or Century City can see live check-in status and add a late pickup from the app, which saves your front desk from evening phone calls.
Fast-growing walker teams in Los Angeles struggle with schedules, keys and pay. We build sitter availability by zip code, visit checklists, owner updates and payout reports, so you can add walkers in a new neighborhood without rebuilding your spreadsheet every week. The app can also verify each walker's background check status and insurance details before they are assigned to a home.
Engagement options
A single salon or clinic usually begins with a fixed scope project for one app and its admin tools. Practice groups and multi-site daycares tend to choose a monthly retainer, so new locations and features keep shipping after launch. Companies building a marketplace that connects owners with many independent groomers or sitters often prefer a dedicated team. Cost is driven by the number of apps, telehealth and video requirements, integrations, languages and how complex your memberships and payouts are. Whatever the model, we work with you remotely and keep the code in your accounts from the first commit.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Cross-platform apps in React Native or Flutter, native modules where video or background location demand them, a cloud backend on AWS or Google Cloud, and a HIPAA-style security posture even though pet records are not covered by HIPAA. Choices follow your vendors and your future team.

An owner app, a staff app and a dashboard, connected to one backend.
Most Los Angeles projects combine booking, pet profiles, payments, reminders and messaging. Clinics add video visits and records access; groomers add coat rules and van routing; sitting companies add GPS check-ins and payouts. We choose the first release with you during discovery, based on where your staff lose the most time, and leave the rest for later releases once the core is stable and customers are using it. A daycare in Studio City, for example, may start with reservations and report cards, while a Westside clinic may start with telehealth rechecks. Every release is demonstrated on a video call before it goes live.
