Voice AI agents for dog groomers.
Built for the dog groomer who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Voice agents answer calls, book jobs and take messages after hours and in busy season, so no enquiry ends in voicemail.
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
- GST at 15 per cent
- Serious breaches get reported
Appointments, reminders and pet notes handled automatically, so nobody has to put the clippers down for the phone.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Where dog groomers actually lose hours and dollars.
Groomers run tight appointment slots where a single no-show leaves an expensive gap in the day.
Booking confirmations and reminder texts are the simplest lever for cutting no-shows in a grooming business.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What voice AI agents covers
If we build the right slice first, dog groomers feel the difference inside the first month.
- Trained on your business hours, services, and pricing
- Books appointments straight into your calendar
- Texts the team for anything urgent
- Full call transcript and audio recorded for QA
- No annual contracts
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Questions dog groomers ask
Has this actually shipped for a real dog groomer?
Yes. 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What if our dog groomer doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For voice AI agents specifically, we typically run that work on Vapi, Retell, Twilio, OpenAI Realtime and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have voice AI agents in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most dog groomers. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
Can it keep our building records in order?
Yes. Restricted building work must be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, who provides a Record of Building Work, and AI can keep those filed per job.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
