Pet sitters & walkersGoal: Meet-and-greet booked

The AI receptionist that books meet-and-greets while you're out walking six dogs.

You're on a walk with a pack of leashes when a new client calls about holiday sitting. Avoonta picks up, asks about the pets, the dates and the home, and books a meet-and-greet before they call the next sitter.

The problem

Why pet sitting & dog walking leads go cold.

Holiday dates go to the sitter who answers first.

Pet sitters and walkers work with their hands full and their phone in a pocket. New clients call while you're mid-walk, and by the time you call back after the last visit, they've booked someone else.

Holidays are the crunch. Thanksgiving and late December fill weeks ahead, and the requests come in all at once. Juggling dates, meet-and-greets and existing clients by text eats your evenings.

What Avoonta does for pet sitting & dog walking

Four jobs, done on every call.

If answering mid-walk books a couple more multi-day holiday sits, those bookings could cover the plan for months.

Limits and compliance

Pet health goes to vets, codes stay offline.

Your agent doesn't give veterinary advice. A client describing a sick or injured pet is told to call their vet or an emergency animal hospital, and the call goes to you. It never asks for alarm codes, lockbox codes or door codes on the phone; you collect those through your own secure process. Every call opens by saying it's an AI assistant.

  • Calls only owners who asked
  • 8am-8pm in the client's time zone
Pet Sitting & Dog Walking FAQ

Straight answers.

Will it ask for my clients' door codes?

No. It confirms that a key handoff is arranged and leaves codes to your own secure process.

Can it handle medication details?

It notes that a pet takes medication and when, for you to review at the meet-and-greet. It doesn't advise on dosing.

Can it keep a holiday waitlist?

Yes. When a date is full it adds the client to a waitlist and calls them if a spot opens.

Does it work for a team of walkers?

Yes. It books into the calendar for the right walker or service area, based on your rules.

Your next pet sitting & dog walking lead gets a call in seconds.
