New client inquiries come in while you're out on routes — and they book fast. Anchor Co AI answers the calls you miss so every new dog owner who calls gets a response before they book through Rover or call the next walker on their list.
Dog walkers are unreachable during peak hours — which is exactly when new clients call. An instant reply is often the difference between a booked client and a lost one.
Why dog walkers lose new clients before they ever meet them
A dog owner just moved to the neighborhood and needs a reliable walker starting Monday. You're mid-route. By the time you finish and call back, they've already booked through Rover or called the next walker in their neighborhood group.
Pet owners vetting a dog walker for the first time have short patience. They want responsiveness before they even meet you — it signals how you'll be when they're at work and their dog is in your care.
A first-time dog owner at 10pm has a hundred questions: rates, availability, service area, insurance, whether you handle reactive dogs. A chatbot that answers those builds trust before your first call.
Managing your existing client communication while actively walking dogs is impossible. A chatbot answers routine questions about your rates, service area and policies and passes anything else to you, so you come off walks to a cleaner inbox instead of a backlog.
How it works
You can't answer. You're managing three dogs on leashes. Without an answer, that new client adds your number to their 'didn't answer' list and moves on.
"Thanks for calling [Your Name] Dog Walking. I'm an AI assistant and I'm out on walks right now. What's your pup's name, what do you need, and what's the best number to reach you?" The inquiry is captured before they open Rover.
Their dog's breed, schedule needs, and contact info are in the emailed summary. You come back from walks to warm leads — not a missed call list — and can follow up professionally while they're still thinking about you.
Front Office plans
Every plan is $297 to set up, then monthly. Month-to-month, cancel any time. Buy online, fill out one form, and see your preview within 5 business days. No sales call.
What the receptionist doesn't do: it doesn't book appointments, quote prices or connect to calendars or CRMs. It takes the caller's details so you can call back.
Cancelling and refunds:cancel any time and you aren't billed again; there are no partial-month refunds. The setup fee is returned only if you cancel before you submit the intake form. If we don't deliver what the terms describe, tell us within 30 days of the charge and we fix it, or refund the affected charge if we can't. Read the refund policy and plan terms before you buy.
Sold and supported by Anchor Co Media, our sister brand. Payment is handled by Stripe.
Yes. We train the chatbot on your specific service area (zip codes/neighborhoods), pricing, services offered (solo walks, group walks, drop-ins, pet sitting), and general availability. It gives accurate answers so inquiries are already pre-qualified when they reach you.
The chatbot can explain your cancellation and rescheduling policy and take down the request for you to review. It can't change your schedule or confirm appointments, so you handle the change yourself.
It's designed for solo operators. There's no sales call and nothing to install: you fill out an intake form and we build it. After that, it runs 24/7 without you doing anything.
A custom website (up to 5 pages, hosting and SSL, basic local SEO setup, up to 5 small edits a month), a 24/7 AI chat trained on your services, and on the Front Office plan an AI receptionist for the calls you miss. $297 one-time setup, then $99/month for the website, $179 with the AI chat, or $249 with the AI receptionist too (300 answered minutes a month, no overage fees).
Month-to-month on every plan. No contract, cancel any time. There are no partial-month refunds.
Preview within 5 business days of your intake form. $297 one-time setup, then month-to-month. Cancel any time.

See it before you buy it
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.
Real answers from our live demo bot — unscripted, recorded on this site.
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
