Sound Familiar?

Every pet sitting and dog walking service faces these challenges. There's a better way.

📵

Calls Missed While You're Out Walking

You're on a 60-minute walk with 4 dogs. A potential client calls to ask about your services: nobody answers, and they book the next walker in their neighbourhood.

📋

Onboarding New Clients Is Slow

New client intake involves breed, vaccination status, home access instructions, emergency contacts, and scheduling preferences. Doing this over the phone is slow and error-prone.

🌧️

Weather Cancellation Chaos

In Canadian winters, icy sidewalks and extreme cold lead to last-minute cancellations. Communicating changes to multiple clients at once is a logistical headache.

🗓️

Recurring Schedule Management

Managing Monday–Friday walkers, weekly sitters, and vacation care for multiple clients manually leads to missed bookings and scheduling conflicts.

● Live Call

Caller

Hi, I'm looking for a dog walker for my golden retriever. We need someone Monday to Friday.

🤖

Hi! We'd love to help. We offer daily 30 and 60-minute walks, typically at $22–$28 per walk depending on length. Is this for a regular ongoing schedule?

Caller

Yes, Monday through Friday, 30 minutes around noon.

🤖

That works great. Before we get started, I'll need to arrange a free meet-and-greet with the walker to make sure it's a good fit. Can I book that for you?

Caller

Sure, what's available?

🤖

I have a meet-and-greet available Wednesday at 5 PM or Saturday at 11 AM. Which works better?

Caller

Saturday at 11.

🤖

You're booked for a meet-and-greet Saturday at 11 AM. Can I get your name, your dog's name, and your address?

Caller

Caitlin Ross, dog is Maple, 143 Queen St West.

🤖

Thanks Caitlin! You'll get a confirmation text with your walker's profile. We look forward to meeting Maple on Saturday!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Can Ava collect key/access instructions from new clients?

Ava captures that a client has provided access details and notes the format (lockbox, key with neighbor, etc.) but sensitive security information like codes should be shared through your secure client portal, not verbally.

Does AVADesk integrate with pet care scheduling software?

AVADesk integrates with Google Calendar and Calendly. For Time To Pet, PetSitClick, or Leashtime, use our webhook API to sync schedules.

Can Ava handle last-minute booking requests or cancellations?

Yes. Ava processes same-day booking requests (subject to your availability) and accepts cancellations. Your cancellation policy is communicated automatically.

Is client home address and access information stored securely?

Yes. All data is PIPEDA-compliant and stored on Canadian servers. Access to sensitive location data is restricted to authorized staff in your dashboard.

Can Ava book meet-and-greets for new clients?

Yes. For new clients, Ava can book a complimentary meet-and-greet appointment before the first service: following your standard onboarding workflow.
