The problem
You can't answer the phone with four dogs on leashes on an icy trail
When you're managing a group of dogs on an icy trail, warming them up after a cold walk, or doing a midday drop-in for a client's puppy, you cannot stop to answer a call. But the dog owner who just found you on Rover and needs a regular walker for their new condo puppy is calling now. They are not leaving a voicemail. They are calling the next dog walker on the list.
- 70% of people looking for a dog walker won't leave a voicemail
- Pet owners call 2-3 walkers and book whoever answers first
- That adds up to 3-5 lost clients per month
- A regular walking client is worth C$200+/month in recurring revenue

How Dog Walkers Use Jodie
New Client: Regular Walks
The situation: A condo owner with a long transit commute needs a reliable midday walker for their husky. The dog needs a proper run, not just a quick pee break, five days a week.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, asks about the dog's breed, age, temperament, their address, and the walking schedule they need. You get a text with all the details to assess whether the dog fits your group and route.
Mid-Walk, Hands Full
The situation: You're on a trail with five dogs in February, managing leashes on icy paths and wiping salt off paws, when your phone buzzes with a new inquiry.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the caller's name and what they need, and lets them know you will call back once your walk is finished. The info is in your inbox when you get back to your car.
Vacation Pet Sitting Booking
The situation: A couple are heading south for three weeks during March break and need someone to look after their two dogs. They want home visits twice a day plus overnight stays.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the dogs, the dates, the type of care needed, and any special requirements like medication or keeping up the winter walking routine. You get a detailed booking request you can price and confirm.
Evening Inquiry: Post-Surgery Walks
The situation: A dog owner calls in the evening. Their rescue dog has just had surgery and needs shorter, gentler walks while recovering. They're looking for someone who can handle a nervous dog on quiet streets.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the details, notes the dog's recovery needs and the vet's instructions, and lets the owner know you will call back in the morning. You get a message with everything you need.
