The Problem: Your Loudest Hours Are Your Booking Hours

Saturday, 9:15 a.m. The salon sounds like a kennel at feeding time. Your groomer has a matted doodle on the table, reception has three dogs checking in, and the phone is ringing over the dryers. On the line: a new puppy owner wanting a first groom, a family booking ten days of Christmas boarding for two labs, and a regular whose cat needs a lion cut. All three reach voicemail. The puppy owner books with a mobile groomer who answered. The boarding family finds a facility with online booking. You will spend Monday calling back numbers that no longer need you. Your groomers discover the losses only weeks later, when familiar dogs stop appearing and a competitor's van starts parking on your regular clients' street every second Saturday morning.

A single loyal grooming client is worth $600-$1,200 a year across repeat visits — and years of boarding on top
New pet owners typically call two or three groomers and book whoever answers with a friendly, organised response
Boarding enquiries spike before holidays, when a missed call is a week of revenue handed to the facility across town

A Day at the Front Desk

Holiday boarding rush

A family books Christmas boarding for two dogs. The AI collects dates, feeding and medication notes, and schedules the stay and any required evaluation.

Recurring grooming schedules

A doodle owner needs a standing six-week appointment. Recurring bookings are set up so the slot — and the client — stay yours.

First-time pet parents

A new puppy parent asks about first-groom timing and vaccines. Questions are answered from your policies and the appointment is booked.

Daycare pickup changes

A client running late for pickup calls after close. They are answered, updated on your late policy, and your team is notified.

The Solution: Reception That Books by Breed, Service and Stay

Marvic AI answers your pet business 24/7 and books like a trained receptionist: grooming by breed, size and service duration; daycare by the day; boarding with dates, care notes and evaluation requirements. It sends reminders that protect your schedule from no-shows, and Speed2Lead calls website leads back in under 60 seconds — decisive when a family is comparing boarding facilities for a trip next week. Your team works with animals. Your bookings run themselves. It also answers common questions about pricing ranges, preparation, and policies, so first-time clients arrive informed, confident, and ready to become regulars on your grooming schedule.

Questions Pet Services & Grooming Ask Us

Can it quote grooming prices and durations?

The AI books from the service rules you set — duration by breed size and service type, spacing between appointments, and your groomers' working hours.

What about vaccination or temperament requirements?

Yes. It can ask about vaccinations, age and temperament based on your policies, and flag anything your groomers need to know before the appointment.

How does it handle no-shows?

Reminders go out automatically, and clients can reschedule through the AI instead of ghosting — most shops see no-shows drop noticeably.

We require evaluations for new boarding dogs. Can it handle that?

New pets are booked as boarding consultations or meet-and-greet evaluations according to your process, so your staff can assess fit in person.

What does it cost to try?

Start with a 14-day free trial; plans are on the pricing page. One recovered regular grooming client usually covers it.
