Running a small pet grooming business is as rewarding as it is chaotic. Between shampoos, trims, anxious pups, and last-minute reschedules, there's one thing most grooming shop owners can agree on: answering the phone is a major pain point.

That's where Greet steps in—an AI-powered phone receptionist that never sleeps, never misses a call, and makes sure your furry (and human) customers always feel taken care of.

🐾 The Challenge: Phones, Fur, and Missed Opportunities

Pet groomers are busy hands-on professionals. You're often elbow-deep in soap, scissors, or shedding undercoats—not exactly the time to pause and answer a ringing phone.

But missing a call can mean:

  • Losing a new customer to the next name on Google
  • Frustrating regulars who just want to book a quick nail trim
  • Wasted time returning voicemails with basic questions like "How much is a bath for a golden retriever?"

Every unanswered call is a missed opportunity—and a dent in your reputation.

🐶 The Solution: Greet, Your 24/7 AI Phone Assistant

Greet solves this with zero extra staff and zero stress. When a customer calls your shop, Greet's AI receptionist picks up instantly, answers their questions, and even schedules their appointment—whether you're grooming a matted poodle or taking a well-earned lunch break.

What Greet Can Do for Pet Groomers:

  • Answer FAQs automatically: Prices, breeds you serve, hours, walk-in policy, etc.
  • Book appointments: Greet can handle scheduling (coming very soon).
  • Send transcripts: You'll get a full written summary of every call so you can follow up if needed.
  • Handle high call volumes: No more voicemail overflow or playing phone tag.

🦴 Real-World Example: Meet "Paws & Whiskers Grooming"

Let's say your shop "Paws & Whiskers" has a busy Saturday. You're fully booked with a dozen pets, but the phone rings nonstop. Instead of missing half those calls—or stopping to dry your hands and answer—Greet picks up.

Caller: "Hi, do you groom Maine Coons?"

Greet: "Yes! We groom long-haired cats including Maine Coons. Would you like to book an appointment?"

The customer is thrilled, books on the spot, and you gain a new regular—without ever leaving your grooming table.

🐕 Why Groomers Love Greet

Pet grooming is a personal business. Customers want to feel their pets are in good hands, and Greet helps you create that trust—starting from the very first call.

  • ✅ Professional first impression
  • ✅ No missed calls or clients

  1. Sign up with Greet
  2. Add your FAQs (pricing, hours, pet types, etc.)

  4. Forward your number to Greet or get a new one

That's it. You're live.
