Industries / Boarding Kennels & Dog Sitters
Fully booked holidays, relaxed owners
Anyone who leaves their dog with you wants to know he's doing fine. SmartChat sends booking deadlines, free spaces and updates from the kennel straight to their phone on WhatsApp.

Holidays full, quiet weeks empty
In the school holidays you're turning people away, and midweek half the pens sit empty. What's missing is a quick way to point your regulars at the quieter weeks.
Owners book far too late
The same story every year: the enquiries come in just before the summer holidays, when you've been booked out for weeks - and it's your regulars who miss out, because nobody reminded them in time.
Constant check-in calls while the dogs are with you
Is he eating, is she sleeping, does he get on with the others? You understand every one of those worried calls, and every one of them still pulls you away from a walk, a feed or a handover.
How you use SmartChat
Fill the holiday places in good time
Before the booking rush starts, you remind your regulars to sort their holiday dates - so your best customers book first and you can see weeks ahead how full you are.
Photos and updates from the kennel
One short update with a photo puts an owner's mind at rest more than three phone calls would - and an owner who gets a happy dog photo every day of their holiday books with you again next time.
Fill the quiet weeks on purpose
Room midweek? One message to your customer list with an off-peak offer, and empty kennel days turn into booked ones - without spending a penny on advertising.
Get the word out about new services
A midday walk, home visits, cat sitting: new offers sell fastest to customers who already trust you, and now you reach all of them with a single message.

FAQs
Do my customers need anything new for this?
No. Your owners use WhatsApp exactly as they do every day. SmartChat only runs on your side: it collects the consent, drafts the wording and sends your messages.
Can I send pictures from the kennel as well?
Yes, and that's what makes this channel work. A snap from the field says more than any phone call. You just attach the photo to your message and off it goes.
How do I collect my owners' numbers?
With your own landing page, which SmartChat builds from your website: as a QR code at drop-off, as a link in the booking confirmation. Every owner signs themselves up and confirms by double opt-in.
Is all of this legally clean?
Yes. Double opt-in directly in WhatsApp, documented consent, and an opt-out at any time with a single word - the whole process is built to be GDPR-compliant.
What costs am I looking at?
SmartChat starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, and contacts are unlimited on every plan. The WhatsApp fees themselves are billed by Meta directly, with no markup from SmartChat.
I'm out with dogs all day - can I keep up with it?
Yes, because the AI does the writing. Your landing page, newsletter and follow-ups come out of your website, and every message arrives as a draft. You read it over and tap send.
