For mobile groomers
You are in the van. Woof takes the call.
A mobile groomer cannot answer the phone with a dog in the tub and no one else in the van. Woof answers, checks whether the address is in your service area, and books stops that fit the route — so a fully booked day is not a day of missed calls.
Short answer
Woof is an AI receptionist for mobile dog groomers. It answers calls while you are grooming in the van, checks whether an address is within your service area, quotes by breed and coat, books stops that fit your route and capacity, and takes clean messages for anything outside your rules.
It checks the service area before it books
The first question for any mobile booking is whether you go there. Woof checks the caller's location against your service area and travel rules, so you are not booked into a stop across town that breaks the day's route.
For addresses at the edge — just outside the zone, a building with no parking for the van — Woof takes the details and lets you decide, rather than promising a visit you cannot make work.
- Confirms the address is inside your service area
- Books stops that fit the route and the day's capacity
- Flags parking, access, and edge-of-zone calls for you
It protects a one-van day
With one van, every slot is the whole day's capacity. Woof books the right number of stops with realistic durations and travel time between them, so the schedule holds instead of collapsing into a day that cannot physically be done.
It answers the calls a solo operator has to miss
A solo mobile groomer misses nearly every call during an appointment — there is no front desk. Those missed calls are the whole growth ceiling. Woof answers them all with your prices, area, and availability, so the phone stops being the bottleneck.
Questions mobile groomers ask
Does Woof know my service area?
Yes. Woof checks each caller's address against your service area and travel rules before booking, so you are not scheduled into a stop that breaks your route. Edge cases it flags for you to decide.
Will it overbook my day?
No. Woof books realistic stop durations with travel time between them against a one-van day's capacity, so the schedule is one you can actually drive.
Can it quote mobile grooming prices?
Woof quotes from your price list by breed and coat, including any mobile or travel surcharge you set, and captures the details for anything that needs an in-person look.
