# Find a dog groomer with an opening using your AI agent

> Tell your agent your dog's breed, weight, and the service you want. It finds nearby groomers and calls several at once with CallForMe. Each call gives the same details and asks for price and the next opening on your day. Your agent lines up the results and can book the one you pick.

**Say to your agent:** "Find a groomer for my 60-lb goldendoodle next Saturday, full groom. Get prices and times."

## What you say to your agent

> Find a groomer for my 60-lb goldendoodle next Saturday, full groom. Get prices and times.

Weekend grooming slots go fast and prices vary a lot by breed and size. You usually have to call a few places to find one that's open and doesn't charge a doodle surcharge you didn't expect.

## What your agent does

1. **find_business** with `query: "dog groomer"` near you, keeping four with good ratings.
2. **plan_call** flags what groomers ask: coat condition, last groom date, vaccinations, temperament.
3. **place_call** to each groomer at once:

```json
{
  "phone": "+19725550154",
  "business_name": "Happy Tails Grooming",
  "goal": "Get the price and next Saturday availability for a full groom for a 60 lb goldendoodle.",
  "details": "Dog: Biscuit, goldendoodle, 60 lb, 4 years old. Last groomed 8 weeks ago, some light tangles behind the ears, not matted. Friendly, a little nervous with nail trims. Rabies and bordetella current.",
  "questions": [
    "Price for a full groom for this dog?",
    "Any doodle or dematting surcharge?",
    "What times are open next Saturday?",
    "How long does the groom take?"
  ],
  "on_behalf_of": "Jake Marsh",
  "callback_number": "+12145550199",
  "constraints": "Quote only. Do not book."
}
```

4. **get_call** on each call until they're `ended`. If a groomer asks "what length do you want?" and your agent doesn't know, it asks you and replies with **answer_question** while the line waits.

## Example result

Example transcript excerpt:

> **Assistant:** Hi, I'm an automated assistant calling on behalf of Jake Marsh. He's looking for a full groom next Saturday for a 60-pound goldendoodle.
> **Groomer:** Doodles that size are $115, and $20 more if there's matting.
> **Assistant:** Light tangles behind the ears, not matted. What's open Saturday?
> **Groomer:** 9am or 1pm. Plan on three hours.

What your agent tells you:

| Groomer | Price | Surcharge | Saturday openings | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Happy Tails Grooming | $115 | +$20 if matted | 9am, 1pm | ~3 hrs |
| Bark & Bubbles | $135 | None | 11am | 2.5 hrs |
| Posh Pup Spa | $140 | +$15 doodle fee | Full | n/a |
| Suds Mobile Grooming | $150 | None | 10am (comes to you) | 2 hrs |

Four answered calls, $4.00.

## Tips

- **Be honest about the coat.** "Light tangles" vs "matted" changes the price, and groomers will re-price at drop-off anyway.
- **Mention nervousness** so the groomer can schedule a quieter time.
- **Book in a second call** to the one you pick, or tell your agent up front to book if the price and time fit your `constraints`.

## What it costs

$1 per groomer that answers. Four groomers, $4 or less.

## FAQ

### Why does the groomer need the weight and coat?

Groomers price by size and coat condition. A matted doodle can cost more and take longer. Giving these up front gets you a real price instead of "it depends".

### Will it share my dog's vaccination records?

It can tell them what's in details, like "rabies current through 2027". It can't send documents. The groomer can text your callback_number for proof.

### Can it book right away if the price is good?

Yes, if you say so. Add a price limit to constraints, for example "book if under $130 and before noon".

### What if my dog has behavior notes?

Put them in details. Groomers want to know about nervousness with dryers or nail trims before they book.
