Sound Familiar?

The daily reality for groomers, boarders, and handlers

🐕

Dog on the Table

You're mid-groom with clippers in one hand and a wriggling Goldendoodle in the other. The phone rings and there's no one to grab it. The caller hangs up and dials the groomer across town.

📋

New-Client Intake Eats Time

Every new client means the same questions: breed, weight, age, vaccines, temperament, last groom. By the time you've taken the info, the next call has gone to voicemail.

No-Shows Kill Your Margin

An unbooked grooming slot is revenue you'll never recover. Without reminders or deposits, industry no-show rates sit in the 15–25% range — a brutal hit for a small shop.

📦

Drop-Off, Pick-Up, Pickup Late

"What time can I drop off?" "Can I pick up late?" "Do you still need the vaccine record?" Same questions every day, always interrupting something else.

Built for How a Pet Business Actually Runs

PhoneFlow handles the phone so you can handle the pet

📞

24/7 Call Answering

Every call answered — during grooming sessions, overnight boarding checks, weekends, and holidays. No missed calls, no voicemail black hole.

📅

Books Directly Into Your POS

Grooming, boarding, daycare, and walking appointments are created in your existing point of sale or booking system the moment the call ends.

📝

New-Client Intake

The AI captures breed, size, age, vaccination status, temperament notes, and special instructions up front, then files them in the pet's profile before the visit.

💬

SMS Reminders

Automatic text reminders ahead of each appointment. Industry data shows well-timed SMS reminders can meaningfully reduce no-shows.

💳

Pay-Link Texting

For supported point-of-sale systems, PhoneFlow can text a secure pay-link to the caller so they complete a deposit or pay-ahead through your existing payment processor.

⚠️

Behavior & Handling Flags

When a caller mentions aggression, anxiety, or medical considerations, the AI captures the notes and flags them on the appointment so your team sees them before the pet arrives.

Purpose-Built for Every Pet Business

Same AI, tuned to your vocabulary and workflow

Full grooms, bath-and-tidy, breed-specific cuts, de-shed, nail trims, teeth brushing. Service time estimated from breed and coat, so the schedule doesn't get overbooked.
