Yes. The bot multiplies the per-walk rate by walks per week, applies weekend surcharges to qualifying days, and totals second-dog discounts. A four-walks-per-week solo schedule with one weekend walk gets quoted in one message with the math shown. The price sheet lives in custom fields on the services post, so updating any rate updates every conversation immediately.

The system prompt categorizes reactivity at intake (none, on-leash dog reactive, prey drive, fearful, resource guarder) and routes group-incompatible dogs to solo walks by default. The owner hears the reasoning ('group walks with multiple dogs aren't a fit for a leash-reactive dog') and the price difference in one message. The walker is not put in the position of declining a group-walk request after the booking.

Yes. Lockbox code, hidden key location, doorman name, or owner-home status all capture during the intake conversation and store with the booking record in WordPress. Sensitive fields like lockbox codes can be redacted from chat logs and stored separately. The walker on day one opens the appointment and sees the pickup instructions before they leave their apartment.

Yes. The price sheet has a same-household second-dog rate (typically 30 to 50 percent off the second walk). The bot quotes both dogs together correctly when the owner mentions a second dog, and asks the relevant intake (separate or together walks, same leash gear or different, separate reactivity profile). The booking record captures both dogs as separate intake items so the walker has the right notes for each.

Adventure outings (60 to 90 minute off-leash hikes or beach trips) are a separate service type with their own pricing, their own intake (off-leash recall test required, transport consent, vaccination status), and their own scheduling window. The bot quotes adventure walks alongside the standard solo and group walks, but adds the recall test requirement to the intake automatically for any dog that has not done one yet.

Yours. SleekAI is BYO API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter, and the model bills you directly. A solo dog-walking business typically sees 5 to 15 USD per month in actual API usage on GPT-4o-mini, which handles recurring-schedule math and intake well. There is no per-message markup from SleekAI.

Yes. Store the covered neighborhoods or zip codes as a taxonomy or custom field. The bot confirms coverage in the first message before quoting, so out-of-area owners get a polite waiting-list message rather than a quote that turns into a cancellation. The taxonomy can also map walks to specific walkers, so the bot can answer questions about which walker covers the Park Slope route if you run a small team.

Yes. Returning clients can ask to add a Wednesday, change the regular midday window, or pause for a two-week vacation. The bot recognizes the returning-client status (via display conditions on the logged-in client portal) and updates the booking through the JS API. The walker sees the schedule change in their next-day briefing rather than having to read an email thread.
