Pet Grooming Answering Service
Powered by AI.
Alice is a 24/7 pet grooming answering service powered by AI. You can't answer the phone with a wet dog in your arms, so Alice handles calls 24/7, books grooming appointments, and answers pet parent questions—so you can focus on making pets look fabulous.
Why pet groomers lose
bookings to missed calls.
When you're mid-groom with clippers in hand, you can't answer the phone. But that pet parent will book with whoever picks up first.
