Sample Pet Boarding Inquiry Call

AI

"Thank you for calling Happy Tails Pet Resort. This is Luna, how can I help you today?"

C

"Hi, I need to board my dog over Thanksgiving. Do you have any availability from November 25th to the 30th?"

AI

"Thanksgiving is one of our busiest times! Let me help you get a reservation. What's your dog's name and breed? I'll also need to know their size to check the best accommodation options for them."

C

"His name is Cooper, he's a 3-year-old golden retriever, about 70 pounds. He's friendly with other dogs."

AI

"Cooper sounds wonderful! For a large breed like him, I'd recommend our spacious luxury suite—it has extra room and a private outdoor area. For a 5-night stay over Thanksgiving, that would be $275 total. Should I book that suite for November 25th through 30th?"

[14] FAQ

Frequently asked questions. Everything you need to know.

What is a pet boarding answering service?

A pet boarding answering service is a professional phone service that answers calls on behalf of kennels and pet hotels 24/7. Traditional answering services use human operators who charge per call or per minute. An AI-powered pet boarding answering service like AgentZap uses voice AI to handle reservation calls, capture pet information, answer questions about accommodations and pricing, and book boarding stays—all for a flat monthly fee without per-call charges.

What is an AI receptionist for kennels?

An AI receptionist for kennels is an intelligent voice assistant that handles all incoming calls for dog boarding facilities, catteries, and multi-species pet hotels. It captures pet profiles (breed, size, temperament, feeding requirements, medications), checks availability for requested dates, explains kennel amenities and room types, and books reservations directly into your management system. The AI works 24/7, which is essential for capturing holiday booking inquiries when pet parents plan trips.

What is an AI receptionist for pet boarding and daycare?

An AI receptionist for pet boarding and daycare is an intelligent voice assistant that answers calls 24/7, handles inquiries about boarding availability, captures pet information, and books reservations—all without human involvement. AgentZap's AI understands pet care terminology (boarding, daycare, feeding schedules, medication administration), can discuss different accommodation types, and integrates with kennel management software like Gingr, PetExec, and Time To Pet.

How does the AI handle boarding reservation inquiries?

Our AI receptionist captures all essential details: pet name, breed, size, vaccination status, check-in and check-out dates, feeding requirements, medication needs, and any behavioral notes. It can explain your facility amenities, discuss suite options, and book reservations directly. Pet parents calling at 10 PM to plan their vacation will get immediate, professional responses.

Can the AI receptionist book daycare and boarding while staff is caring for pets?

Absolutely—this is the primary benefit. Pet boarding and daycare staff are often busy feeding, walking, and caring for animals. The AI receptionist answers every call instantly, whether your team is doing morning feedings or afternoon playtime. You'll never miss a booking inquiry because everyone was busy with the pets.

What makes AgentZap the best booking software for pet boarding facilities?

AgentZap combines AI-powered phone answering with complete reservation management. Unlike basic booking systems, our platform handles voice calls 24/7, understands pet care requirements, integrates with Gingr and PetExec, and captures detailed pet profiles. Pet boarding facilities choose AgentZap because it's specifically designed for kennel operations.

Does the AI understand different boarding service types?

Yes, our AI handles all pet boarding inquiries: overnight boarding (standard kennels, luxury suites, private rooms), doggy daycare, cat boarding, extended stays, and add-on services (extra playtime, grooming, training). Each service type has custom intake questions.

How much does an AI receptionist cost compared to front desk staff?

Hiring front desk staff costs $28,000-$40,000+ annually and only covers business hours. AgentZap costs $79-$499/month ($948-$5,988/year) for unlimited 24/7 coverage—a savings of 90% or more. The AI handles unlimited simultaneous calls during holiday booking rushes.

Can the AI discuss boarding rates and availability?

Yes, you can configure the AI to explain your rates for different room types, daycare packages, and add-on services. The AI provides pricing information and checks general availability, then books confirmed reservations directly into your calendar or kennel management system.

How does the AI capture pet information for boarding?

AgentZap gathers comprehensive pet profiles: pet name, breed, age, weight, vaccination records, feeding schedule, medications, behavioral traits (good with other dogs, cat-friendly, anxiety triggers), emergency contact, and veterinarian information. All details sync to your kennel management software.

Can the AI verify pet vaccinations are current before booking?

Yes, the AI receptionist asks about vaccination status during the booking process, including rabies, distemper, bordetella (kennel cough), and any other vaccines your facility requires. If vaccinations are expired or due soon, the AI informs pet parents they'll need to update records before check-in and can recommend they contact their vet. This reduces day-of-arrival surprises and keeps all boarded pets safe.

How does the AI handle medication administration schedules for boarding pets?

The AI captures detailed medication information: medication name, dosage, frequency (morning, evening, with food), administration method (pill, liquid, topical), and any special instructions. It confirms whether you charge extra for medication administration and notes all details in the pet's profile for your staff. Complex medical needs can be flagged for manager review before confirming the booking.

Does the AI explain webcam access for pet parents?

Yes, if your facility offers pet cams or photo/video updates, the AI explains how parents can check on their pets during their stay. It can describe webcam viewing hours, explain your app or portal for accessing live feeds, and discuss photo update packages. This feature is a major selling point for anxious pet parents, and the AI presents it as part of your premium boarding experience.

How does the AI manage holiday booking rush periods?

Holiday periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, summer vacation) are peak booking times for pet boarding. The AI handles unlimited simultaneous calls during these rush periods when phone volume can overwhelm staff. It captures reservations 24/7, manages waitlists when you're fully booked, and can notify pet parents of cancellation openings. Many facilities book out weeks in advance—the AI ensures you never miss a reservation inquiry.
