An AI front desk for grooming shops

More dogs in the chair.
Less time on the phone.

Bodie answers every call, fills your calendar, and chases down no-shows, so you can keep your hands on the dogs and your eyes off the phone.


The problem

The phone is stealing your grooming day.

Every missed call is a booking that walks to the shop down the road. Every no-show is an empty table you can't fill on short notice. It adds up faster than most shops realize.

What it does

How Bodie helps

One system that picks up the phone, keeps the book tidy, and keeps clients coming back.

01

Answers the phone

A friendly voice picks up every call, books and reschedules appointments, quotes by breed and service, and takes a message when it needs to, day or night.

02

Fills the calendar

Your book fills and stays tidy: the right time for the breed and service, the right groomer, no double-bookings, and open gaps offered to your waitlist.

03

Cuts the no-shows

Automatic confirmations, reminders, and optional deposits keep chairs full. When someone cancels, the slot gets offered out before it goes cold.

Faq

Common questions

No. It sounds like a warm, natural person and is tuned to your shop's name, services, and tone. Most callers don't realize they're not talking to your front desk, and it can hand off to you anytime it needs to.
In most cases, yes. We connect to common grooming and scheduling tools and to your calendar. If you tell us what you use today, we'll confirm the fit on the first call. If you don't have a system yet, we'll set one up.
Three ways: timely confirmations and reminders so appointments aren't forgotten, optional deposits that give clients a reason to show, and automatic rebooking that offers cancelled slots to your waitlist before they go empty.
Yes. We set it up around your real services, breed and coat types, add-ons, and slot lengths, so it quotes correctly and books the right amount of time on the table every time.
Most shops are live within a week or two. We do the technical work, walk you through it in plain language, and you'll hear the agent before it ever answers a real call.
Pricing is a simple monthly plan based on your shop's size and call volume. We'll give you a clear number on the first call, and for most shops the saved no-shows and recovered bookings more than cover it.
