AI Receptionist for Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters
Dog walking and pet sitting bookings handled while you're out with the pack.
Ava books dog walking contracts while you're out on the route — new clients captured without interrupting the current walk.
A regular daily walking client is worth £1,200–£2,400/year. Five missed weekly enquiries is £300,000+ in annual recurring revenue.
The short answer
- £1,200–£2,400/year per regular daily walking client — missed enquiries compound into massive recurring revenue loss.
- Ava captures breed, walk frequency, preferred time, and location before booking the intro meet.
- Location coverage check prevents out-of-zone bookings wasting your route time.
- Pet sitting bookings (holidays, overnight) are captured with the same script flow.
- 10-booking guarantee on intro meets in 30 days or refund.
The problem
You're on a group walk with six dogs when a homeowner rings about setting up a regular dog walking slot — Monday to Friday, every week. You can't answer at the park. They ring the next walker on the list and set up the contract.
What Ava does
Ava answers, captures the breed, preferred walk frequency and time slots, location coverage, and availability for an introductory meet — booking the initial session before the caller has a chance to look elsewhere.
A regular daily dog walking client is worth £1,200–£2,400 per year. Missing five weekly enquiries costs £300,000+ in annual recurring revenue over a 3-year client lifetime.
How does Ava handle a dog walking enquiry?
Ava confirms your location coverage, captures the breed, preferred walk frequency (daily, 3×week, ad hoc), group or solo preference, preferred times, and the owner's availability for an introductory meet. The intro meet is booked directly — it's where the contract is confirmed and the relationship starts.
Location coverage is the first check for dog walking. Ava is configured with your coverage area and confirms this before booking — preventing wasted intro meets across town.
Time To Pet and Pawfinity both support scheduling integration. Ava books the intro meet and creates the client record simultaneously. The walker has the brief — breed, temperament, walk preferences — before the visit.
