Never Miss a Holiday Booking Again with AI-Powered Kennel Reception
Your staff is busy with drop-offs and playtime—let our AI handle the phones. We sync with your pet management software to book stays and verify vaccinations 24/7.
In the pet boarding industry, revenue is dictated by capacity management and peak demand. With average rates between $35 and $75 per night, missing a single call during the 6-8 week lead-up to major holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas can result in hundreds of dollars in lost high-margin revenue. Most facilities struggle with 'the morning rush'—that 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM window where staff are physically handling pet intakes and cannot answer the phone, leading to frustrated clients and abandoned booking inquiries.
Beyond simple bookings, the administrative burden of compliance is a significant bottleneck. State kennel licensing and animal welfare regulations require strict adherence to vaccination protocols (Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella). Our AI agent doesn't just take a message; it proactively informs owners of expiring records and can trigger automated SMS links for document uploads, ensuring that when the pet arrives for their stay, all paperwork is already compliant and filed in your system.
By integrating directly with industry-standard tools like Gingr, PetExec, and Time To Pet, Read Laboratories provides a seamless bridge between your phone line and your database. We eliminate the need for manual data entry of feeding instructions or medication schedules, reducing the risk of operational errors that could compromise animal safety and facility reputation.
Problems We Solve
Holiday Revenue Leakage
During peak seasons, your phone rings off the hook. Our AI captures every booking request, manages waitlists, and secures deposits even when your front desk is overwhelmed.
Vaccination Verification Friction
Stop chasing pet owners for records. The AI identifies missing Rabies or Bordetella certificates and sends automated upload links via SMS during the call.
Intake Bottlenecks
Morning drop-offs are chaotic. By collecting feeding schedules and medication instructions over the phone via AI, you reduce check-in time from 10 minutes to 60 seconds.
After-Hours Lead Loss
Pet owners often research boarding after work. Our AI answers at 10 PM, answering questions about your facility's amenities and booking tours without staff intervention.
Software Double-Entry
Manual notes from phone calls often fail to make it into your PMS. Our AI pushes data directly into Gingr or PetExec, keeping your digital records accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AI work with my existing Gingr or PetExec account?
Yes, we use API integrations to read your current availability and write new reservations directly into your software, ensuring no double-bookings occur.
How does it handle vaccination requirements?
The AI is programmed with your specific local and state requirements. If a pet's records are expired or missing, the AI informs the owner and texts them a link to upload the documents before the stay.
Can the AI handle emergency calls or specific medical questions?
The AI is trained on your specific protocols. It can answer routine questions, but for emergencies or complex medical inquiries, it can instantly route the call to your manager's mobile line.
What happens if my kennel is full?
The AI checks your real-time capacity. If you are fully booked, it can offer to place the client on a waitlist or suggest alternative dates, capturing the lead for future use.
Can it book grooming or daycare appointments too?
Absolutely. The AI can manage multiple service schedules, including grooming add-ons for boarding stays or recurring daycare packages.
How long does the setup take?
Typically 2-3 weeks. This includes mapping your software fields, training the AI on your specific facility rules, and testing the voice interface.
