What Kennel Owners & Directors Say

Direct feedback from dog boarding facility owners, pet resort managers, and daycare directors.

★★★★★

"Verifying Bordetella and Rabies records for 80 dogs before Thanksgiving weekend was pushing me to exhaustion. Sagedoer’s assistant called vet offices directly, updated our Gingr records, and flagged expired shots days in advance. We didn’t have a single check-in bottleneck."

Brian Miller
General Manager, Meadowbrook Pet Resort, Ohio
★★★★★

"Our kennel was missing thousands in holiday boarding deposits because staff were busy bathing dogs instead of following up on pending invoices. Our VA now manages all Revelation Pets booking requests and deposit deadlines. We reached 100% prepayment before the holidays."

Sarah Reynolds
Owner, Pine Hollow Canine Lodge, Colorado
★★★★★

"Sending daily photo pupdates to 50+ anxious dog parents every evening used to eat two hours of my night. Now, my yard staff upload photos to a shared folder, and our Sagedoer VA crops them, writes fun updates, and dispatches them through Gingr. Parents love it!"

Kelly Wagner
Director, K9 Oasis Dog Daycare, Texas
★★★★★

"Having a dedicated PM check the VA's work is the game-changer. They audit medication logs and run sheets every morning. At $6/hour full-time, Sagedoer costs less than one part-time local receptionist, and the output is ten times higher."

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear Answers for Kennel Managers & Pet Resort Owners

Practical details regarding veterinary record verification, kennel software integration, pet parent data privacy, and dedicated PM oversight.

Can your assistants call veterinary clinics directly to obtain vaccination records?

Yes. Our pet hospitality virtual assistants regularly communicate with veterinary offices via phone, email, and clinic contact portals to request official Rabies, Bordetella, DHPP, and Canine Bivalent Influenza certificates. They verify exact expiration dates, confirm that oral/nasal Bordetella boosters meet your facility's mandatory wait windows (e.g., 7–14 days before intake), and upload clear PDF records directly to the pet's profile.

How do you protect client credit card numbers and pet parent personal data?

All client phone numbers, addresses, and pet medical records are protected under strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Furthermore, assistants operate within your existing kennel software (Gingr, Revelation Pets, ProPet, Paw Partner) utilizing scoped staff permissions where credit card numbers are tokenized via Stripe or CardConnect. Assistants never see or store raw credit card numbers, and system logins are provisioned through encrypted password managers like 1Password or Bitwarden.

What does the Dedicated Project Manager supervise for my kennel?

Your Dedicated Project Manager is included at **$0 extra charge**. They act as your operational supervisor: reviewing daily check-in audits to verify that no pet enters without current vaccines, checking that holiday boarding deposits have been collected on time, inspecting daily pupdate photo logs, and ensuring inquiry turnaround times remain under 15 minutes. You communicate with a single senior lead rather than having to micromanage your assistant.

How do assistants handle daily photo pupdates and pet parent messaging?

Your on-site kennel attendants simply take photos during yard rotations and drop them into a shared Google Drive, Dropbox, or Gingr media queue. Your Sagedoer assistant sorts through the photos, matches each pet to their owner's profile, crops and frames them nicely, adds personalized play notes based on your staff's yard log, and dispatches digital report cards before your evening pickup rush.

Can I scale up assistant hours during summer and holiday boarding rushes?

Yes. Kennel occupancy peaks drastically during summer travel, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. You can easily upgrade from Part-Time (20 hrs/week) to Full-Time (40 hrs/week) or add a temporary seasonal assistant to manage high-volume phone calls, deposit follow-ups, and waitlist allocations. There are never any upgrade fees, penalty clauses, or long-term commitments.
