Dog owners book the first facility that answers their questions — not the best one. Anchor Co AI gives your boarding facility a 24/7 chatbot that handles availability, vaccine requirements, and reservations automatically, so you capture every inquiry even when you're caring for dogs, not answering phones.
"Do you have availability July 4th weekend?" hits every boarding facility at the same time. Your staff can't answer every call — owners book the place that picks up, not necessarily the best facility.
Every facility has different vaccine requirements. When owners can't quickly find out if their dog is eligible, they move on. A chatbot answers Bordetella, Rabies, and DHPP questions instantly, any time of day.
Basic boarding vs. enrichment packages vs. playtime groups — most owners research this at 10 PM. If your site can't explain it interactively, they'll book somewhere that can.
"My dog has separation anxiety — will she be okay?" is one of the most common questions dog boarding facilities get. Owners who don't get a reassuring answer simply don't book.
The chatbot collects travel dates, number of dogs, and breed/size instantly — no hold music, no voicemail. It checks your real-time availability and tells the owner exactly what's open.
A natural back-and-forth guides the owner through everything they need to know: "Great — for a 2-night stay July 3–5, we have standard suites and our Enrichment Package available. Does Bella have her Bordetella vaccine on file? We require it within the last 6 months. If not, most vets can do a same-day nasal spray." The owner feels informed, not interrogated.
The chatbot captures contact info, confirms the package, and sends a booking confirmation with drop-off/pickup instructions — all without your staff lifting a finger.
Most boarding facilities require Rabies (current), Distemper/DHPP (current), and Bordetella (within the last 6–12 months). Your AI chatbot is trained on your specific requirements so it gives owners the exact answer for your facility — not a generic one.
Your chatbot can walk owners through your daily schedule in detail: feeding times, outdoor potty breaks, group play sessions, rest periods, and any enrichment activities included in their package. This is one of the top questions that converts undecided owners.
The chatbot is trained to give reassuring, accurate answers about how your staff handles anxious dogs — whether that's a quieter room away from the main kennel, extra check-ins, or a specific staff member who specializes in nervous dogs. Owners who get this answer book. Owners who don't, don't.
The chatbot explains your cancellation window and any deposit requirements upfront so there are no surprises. This reduces last-minute no-shows and cancellation disputes.
Drop-off and pickup windows are among the most common questions boarding facilities get. Your chatbot answers them instantly — including holiday-week hours — and adds them to the booking confirmation automatically.
