The AI phone receptionist for dog groomers & pet care businesses.

You cannot answer the phone with a nervous spaniel on the table. Ringmere picks up, books the groom with the right details, and takes daycare and boarding enquiries while your hands stay on the dog.

The missed-call problem

Sound familiar?

  • Both hands busy, clippers on, phone ringing
  • New owners who ring three groomers and book the first to answer
  • Daycare and boarding questions that eat the afternoon

Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.

Questions from dog groomers & pet care businesses

Good to know.

Does it ask about the dog?
Yes. It takes the owner’s name and number, the dog’s name, breed and size, and what they want done, and saves it with the booking so you know who is walking in. Anything you tell it to ask, such as vaccination status for daycare, it asks.
Can it handle daycare and boarding enquiries?
Yes. It answers what you have approved, such as prices, opening hours and what a dog needs to attend, and takes the enquiry details as a message or books an assessment day if you offer one.
Will it quote the right price for a big dog?
It quotes only the services and prices you set, by size or breed if that is how you price. If a caller asks for something not on your list, it says so and takes a message rather than guessing.
What if an owner calls about a sick or injured dog?
It never gives veterinary advice. It tells the caller to contact a vet and passes the message to you straight away.
Can I keep my number?
Yes. Forward the number on your window and your social pages to Ringmere, or use the UK number included with every plan.
Is Ringmere an answering service for dog groomers & pet care businesses?
Yes, and a virtual receptionist too. Like an answering service, it picks up your calls 24/7 under your business name. Like a virtual receptionist, it answers questions, takes messages and books appointments straight into your diary. Because it is an AI receptionist it costs from £49 a month, never puts a caller on hold, and on Growth and Pro replies on WhatsApp and text as well.
