AI Phone Answering for Dog Daycare & Pet Boarding
Every holiday-boarding rush and anxious new-client call gets answered instantly, 24/7, with a save offer presented before a daycare package gets downgraded or canceled.
What it handles
The calls dog daycare & pet boarding actually get
Answering Agent for dog daycare and pet boarding is an AI phone answering service that answers your facility's phone 24/7, handles holiday-boarding reservation requests, temperament-test scheduling, and vaccination-record questions from your approved information, and presents an approved save offer on package or membership cancellation calls before a client downgrades, creating a task for anything that needs a person.
Holiday and peak-boarding reservations
The highest-volume, highest-urgency call type — slots fill fast around holidays, and answered instantly beats a voicemail every time.
Temperament test scheduling
Books the required pre-enrollment temperament test appointment for a first-time client.
Vaccination record verification
Answers whether a dog's current vaccination records meet your approved requirements before a stay.
"Is my dog okay?" check-ins
Reassures an anxious owner mid-boarding or mid-daycare day, or creates a callback task if a staff update is needed.
New client intake
Gathers breed, size, temperament, and feeding or medication requirements ahead of a first visit.
Package or membership sign-up and rate questions
Explains unlimited vs. limited-day monthly plan pricing, and can start a signup for a client who is ready to join.
Cancellation or reschedule of a boarding reservation
Handles a last-minute change, especially near a holiday, from your approved rebooking policy.
Pickup, drop-off, and late-pickup policy
Answers recurring logistics questions during rush periods from your approved hours and policy.
Recurring revenue
Built for daycare packages and membership cancellation saves
Dog daycare runs on packages and monthly memberships — one, two, or three days a week, or unlimited plans — which makes a downgrade or cancellation call a genuine retention-save moment, the same shape as the membership wedge in any recurring-revenue business. Answering Agent presents an approved pause or save offer before a package is downgraded or canceled, and is explicit about what it does not handle: a bite-history dog, a medical flare-up, or an active incident always routes straight to a person, which research shows reads as a trust signal to pet owners rather than a limitation.

See how pricing worksFrequently asked questions
Do you have room for my dog this weekend or over the holidays?
The AI checks your approved availability and books the reservation directly on the call, at any hour — the exact window when holiday-boarding requests come in fastest and a voicemail costs you the booking.
Does my dog need a temperament test before their first day?
Yes, where you require one, the AI explains the process and can schedule the appointment directly from your approved information.
What vaccinations does my dog need to come to daycare?
The AI answers your approved vaccination requirements and can note what's on file, but a specific record check against your system becomes a task for your team to confirm.
Can I check in on how my dog is doing while I'm at work?
The AI can reassure a caller with your approved general updates and creates a callback task for a specific status check from staff, so the owner gets a real answer, not a guess.
What's your cancellation or no-show policy if I need to reschedule boarding?
Answered from your approved rebooking and cancellation policy, including any holiday-specific terms.
Do you offer a daycare package or membership, and how does the monthly rate work?
The AI explains your plan tiers and pricing and can start a signup for a client who is ready, using the same approved information every caller hears.
What happens if my dog gets into a fight or gets hurt while there?
The AI does not handle a bite, injury, or active incident on its own — it takes down what the caller knows and escalates immediately to a person, since these calls need a human judgment call, not an automated one.
What does it cost?
Phone answering for a dog daycare or boarding facility starts at $249 per month per location, with call volume and any added channels scoped into an exact quote after a demo.
