Built for dog boarding facilities

Fill your kennel for the holidays before the other facility even picks up the phone

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.

Why dog boarding facilities lose reservations online

Holiday rush overwhelms your 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.

Vaccination confusion costs you reservations

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.

Owners want to know what their dog's day looks like

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.

Anxious-dog owners need reassurance before they commit

"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.

How it works

1

Owner asks about availability for their travel dates

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.

2

Chatbot walks through requirements and packages — conversationally

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.

3

Reservation confirmed, calendar blocked

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.

Common questions

What vaccinations does my dog need for boarding?

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.

What does a typical day look like for my dog?

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.

How do you handle dogs with separation anxiety or special needs?

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.

What's your cancellation policy?

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.

What are your drop-off and pickup hours?

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.

This is the bot answering a real contractor's questions.

No slideshow, no actor. A screen recording of our own assistant handling the two questions every owner asks: what happens to the 9pm call I miss, and will it invent things about my business.

Visitor: I run an HVAC company. A customer calls at 9pm and I can't pick up — what happens?

Anchor Co AI: Right now? They hit voicemail and you've lost them to whoever picks up first. With our chatbot, they hit your website at 9pm, ask “Do you do emergency service?” or “Are you licensed in my county?” — and get an instant answer. The bot captures their name, number, and address. You wake up to a lead instead of a missed call. That's the whole thing: your customers get answers 24/7, you only deal with the calls that actually need you, and you're not losing jobs to competitors who answer faster. Since you're in HVAC, the bot can handle all the common questions — licensing by county, service area, whether you do emergency calls, minimum job size, how long estimates take. You train it on your website in about 10 minutes, and it goes live in an afternoon. Want to try it? You can start free at anchorcoai.com/signup — no credit card required. Test it on your actual website for 14 days and see if it captures leads you would've missed.

Visitor: Will it make stuff up about my business?

Anchor Co AI: No. The bot only answers from what you've given it — your website content, your FAQs, pricing, service areas, whatever you add. If a question falls outside that (something the bot doesn't know), it's honest about it. Instead of guessing, it says “I don't have that info” and asks for their name and contact details so you can follow up personally. It won't make up licensing claims, pricing, or service details. That's the safeguard. Your bot is only as smart as the information you feed it — which means you stay in control of what it says about your business. Honestly the easiest way to see if it works for your business is to just try it. Free plan, no card. anchorcoai.com/signup
