Hi, I found you on Google. Do you have any openings for a daily afternoon walk? I have a golden retriever.
AI Receptionist
Absolutely! We have afternoon slots available Mon-Fri at 1 PM and 3 PM. For a daily single-dog walk, it's $30/walk with a 10% recurring discount. Would you like me to book a meet-and-greet first?
Yes please! Thursday at 3 PM works.
You're all set for Thursday at 3 PM. I've sent a confirmation to your phone. See you and your golden soon! 🐶
The Problem

You can't answer the phone mid-walk

📞
30-40%

Calls missed while walking

You're holding 3 leashes, picking up after a lab, and trying to stop a poodle from chasing a squirrel. Your phone rings. You can't answer. That new client calls someone else.

🌙
$25-75

Lost per missed after-hours call

Pet parents search for walkers at 9 PM, after work. You're off the clock. They call, get voicemail, and move on. Every missed after-hours call is a booking you'll never know about.

🚫
15-20%

Bookings lost to no-shows

No confirmation text. No reminder. The client forgets. You show up to an empty house. No-shows cost time, gas, and lost income — all preventable with automated reminders.

FAQ

Questions about the AI receptionist

How does the AI receptionist sound on the phone?

+
Natural, friendly, and professional — like a great receptionist who genuinely likes dogs. It handles the details that matter: key codes, medication schedules, behavior notes, leash locations, and special instructions. Callers think they're talking to your office staff.

Can the AI receptionist handle my custom pricing?

+
Yes. You set your own services, pricing, multi-dog rates, and recurring discounts. The AI quotes your exact prices — whether it's a $25 solo walk, a $40 group walk with a multi-dog discount, or a recurring weekly package. Your prices, your rules.

What happens if someone needs to speak to me directly?

+
The AI recognizes when a caller needs human attention — emergencies, complex situations, or a client who asks for you by name. It takes their message with full context and notifies you immediately so you can call back when free. No leads lost, no context missing.

How does the 14-day free trial work?

+
Sign up in 2 minutes — no credit card required. You get full access to every feature for 14 days. Set up your services, availability, and booking page. If it's not saving you time and money, cancel anytime. Most walkers see results in the first week.

Is $29/mo really worth it for a solo dog walker?

+
One missed booking pays for the entire month. If your average walk is $30-50, HeyDogWalker pays for itself the first time it answers a call you would have missed. Most walkers report 5-10 additional bookings per month from calls they previously missed.
