STATUS · STUCK_IN_THE_GAP

You're stuck in the gap.

You can't keep doing it all alone. The phone won't stop ringing, and every missed call is a customer that probably called the salon down the street.

But you also can't justify hiring a receptionist. The real cost stacks up fast:

$40,000 base + benefits + training + turnover risk

So you keep grinding. Drowning, but not quite drowning enough to hire.

This is the gap that's costing you customers, sleep, and sanity — all at once.

The pitch

A receptionist that costs half as much and never sleeps.

Retrevr is an AI receptionist built specifically for dog grooming, pet salons, mobile groomers, and pet boarding businesses. It answers every inbound call 24/7 in a natural professional voice, books appointments into your existing scheduling software, handles pricing questions and FAQs, and sends confirmations and reminders.

Built for grooming

Built for grooming, not generic SaaS.

Other AI tools sound like a robot reading a script. Retrevr sounds like someone who works at a grooming salon.

We trained it on real grooming conversations — breed-specific questions, drop-off and pickup logistics, vaccination paperwork, pricing for matted coats and double-coated dogs, anxious-dog handling. Customers don't feel like they're talking to a chatbot. They feel like they're talking to your front desk.

What you keep handling: the dog in front of you.

Salons using Retrevr

Real groomers, real results.

★★★★★ CLIENT_01

“I'm a solo groomer. I can't answer the phone with a dog on the table. After Retrevr, I started picking up 4 to 6 new clients per week from calls that used to go unanswered. Revenue went up without spending more on ads.”

★★★★★ CLIENT_02

“I run a mobile grooming business. I'm driving or working in someone's home all day. Retrevr captures every call I miss and gets them booked before they call someone else. My schedule is full now.”

★★★★★ CLIENT_03

“We were missing calls left and right during busy hours. First month live, we recovered 91% of our missed call revenue.”

10 / 10 SPOTS This week's offer

First 10 grooming salons this week get the setup fee waived.

We're hand-picking 10 grooming salons each week to onboard at no setup cost. If you book a demo this week and we both agree it's a fit, we waive the setup fee entirely and have you live in under 24 hours.

Our guarantee

30-day confidence guarantee
+ 24-hour go-live guarantee.

GUARANTEE_01

30-day confidence guarantee

If Retrevr doesn't measurably reduce your missed calls and increase your booked appointments in the first 30 days, we'll optimize at no cost until it does — or refund your investment in full.

GUARANTEE_02

24-hour go-live guarantee

And if we don't have you live within 24 hours of onboarding, we keep working at no charge until you are.

FAQ

Common questions.

Won't customers hate talking to AI?

They don't know it's AI. Retrevr uses natural-voice technology trained specifically on grooming conversations. We'll let you hear it on a demo call — call your own number, hear what your customers hear, decide for yourself.

What does it cost?

Flat monthly rate, far less than hiring a receptionist. We'll quote you exactly on the demo call.

Will it work with my scheduling software?

Yes. Retrevr integrates with MoeGo, Gingr, DaySmart Pet, PetExec, and most major pet-care platforms. We handle the integration during onboarding.

What if a call needs a real person?

Retrevr routes urgent or complex calls to you — emergencies, complaints, anything outside its training. You stay in the loop without being chained to the phone.

How quickly can I get it live?

24 hours from onboarding. Guaranteed.

I already have online booking. Why do I need this?

Online booking only converts the customers who use it. Phone callers still call — for pricing, scheduling changes, special requests, anxious-dog questions. Retrevr handles those. Your online booking keeps doing its job for the rest.
