MOBILE GROOMERS · BUILT FOR THE VAN
You can’t answer the phone
with your hands in a tub.
Sniffs.ai picks up while you're driving, mid-groom, or done for the day. Books inside your service area. Respects your travel buffers. Syncs to Google Calendar so the next stop never collides with the last one.
Free demo. No credit card. Live in under 90 seconds.
MOBILE IS A DIFFERENT BEAST
Generic AI receptionists don't know what a service area is.
Mobile grooming has constraints a salon doesn't: drive time, fuel cost, no-show liability, and a customer base that lives across 30 zip codes. Sniffs is built around that, not adapted to it.
SERVICE AREA
Knows your zips, refuses the rest
Sniffs pulls your service area from your site, Google Business, or you tell it. When a customer says “78704,” the agent says yes or no — politely, immediately. You never have to call back to say you don't cover that zip.
TRAVEL BUFFERS
Won't stack you across town
Default 30-min travel buffer between mobile stops, configurable. Sniffs reads your Google Calendar to know when you're driving — those blocks are unavailable. No more 11am Doodle on the east side and 12:30pm cat across town.
DEPOSIT-FIRST
Captures deposits before the drive
Mobile no-shows cost more — you drove there. Sniffs supports deposit-required bookings out of the box. The agent takes the booking, sends a deposit link in the confirmation, and only marks the slot confirmed when payment lands.
THE FOUR MOMENTS
Where mobile groomers leak the most revenue.
The 2pm call between stops
You're rolling between Doodle 1 and Lab 2 with 12 minutes of buffer. Phone rings. You can't pick up safely. Sniffs answers in your voice, asks the right questions, books the appointment, and texts you the confirmation.
“Do you come to 92024?”
A great mobile-groomer agent has to disqualify customers gracefully. Sniffs asks for the zip, checks against your service area, and either books or says “unfortunately we don't cover that area yet — here's a referral.” You don't waste the conversation.
“Two dogs and a senior cat.”
Mobile multi-pet bookings stack: a 60-lb Bernedoodle plus a 12-lb Shih Tzu plus a senior cat is a 4-hour appointment. Sniffs computes the total time, applies the multi-pet discount if you offer one, and only books if the slot fits.
“Hi, do you groom Frenchies?”
That Instagram DM at 9:47pm is a real customer. Sniffs replies inside two minutes — answers the breed question, asks for the zip, quotes from your pricing logic, and books a slot. By the time you wake up, the calendar event is on your phone.

MOBILE GROOMER FAQ
The questions every mobile groomer asks before signing up.
How does Sniffs handle service-area routing?
Sniffs reads your service area from your website or Google Business listing during onboarding. When a customer asks about availability, the agent asks for their zip or address first and only quotes / books if they're within range. If they're out of range, the agent gives a polite "we don't cover that zip yet" without you having to handle it.
Will it book me back-to-back appointments across town?
No. Sniffs respects travel buffers between mobile stops. By default it inserts a 30-minute travel block between bookings; you can configure this per-mile or per-zip. The agent reads your existing Google Calendar and treats your travel blocks as unavailable time.
I take calls while driving — what happens to the ones I miss?
That's the core problem Sniffs solves for mobile groomers. Forward your line to a Sniffs voice number for unanswered calls. The agent answers in your voice, books the appointment, and texts you the confirmation when you're back on the curb. Most mobile groomers we talk to recover 4–8 bookings a week this way.
Does it know which dogs need a bigger van slot?
Yes. Sniffs has a breed database with weight ranges and grooming-time logic. A 90-lb Bernedoodle gets a 2.5-hour slot; a 12-lb Shih Tzu gets a 75-minute slot. You can override the defaults per service. The agent stacks multi-pet households appropriately too.
What about deposit collection for mobile bookings?
Mobile groomers often charge a deposit because no-shows cost more (you drove there). Sniffs supports deposit-required bookings out of the box. The agent quotes the price, takes the booking, and sends a deposit link in the confirmation message. Configurable per service.
Does it work with my existing booking software?
Sniffs ships native Google Calendar two-way sync, which is what most mobile-groomer software (MoeGo Mobile, Pawfinity, Gingr) writes to. Connect Sniffs to your Google Calendar and you indirectly connect to whatever you're using today, no waiting for a native integration.
