Question 1

How fast does Mikla answer a pet sitting inquiry?

Accepted Answer

Under a minute, day or night. Mikla watches the phone, your Google listing, website forms, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Yelp, and email. Somebody arranging cover for next week messages three or four sitters in one sitting. The one who answers from the route is the one they meet.

Question 2

Can Mikla take down keys, lockboxes, and alarm codes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It records how you get in: lockbox or key handover, the code sequence, which door, whether there is an alarm and how long the delay is, and who else has access. Nothing is guessed at on the doorstep. The notes sit with the client record instead of in a phone.

Question 3

Does it book the introductory visit before the first walk?

Accepted Answer

Always, and it explains why the visit exists. New clients are booked for a visit at their own home. You meet the animal, see the leash and the food, and agree the access before anyone hands over a key. Recurring walks are held around that visit.

Question 4

What does it do when the holiday weeks are already full?

Accepted Answer

It says so honestly instead of leaving the message unread. Mikla checks the dates against what your sitters can cover, offers the nearest open window, and puts the rest on a list you can work. A polite no keeps that person for the spring.

Question 5

Will it collect vet and emergency contact details?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The practice name and number, the medication and feeding routine, food allergies, whether the dog is reactive on lead, and a second contact for when you cannot reach the client. Your sitter opens the visit with all of it on their phone.

Question 6

Can it manage recurring midday walks and last-minute changes?

Accepted Answer

Midday blocks are the base of the business, so Mikla holds the standing days. It handles the traffic around them too: a client working from home on Wednesday, an extra visit for a late flight, or a cancellation that needs offering on.

Question 7

Does Mikla know which streets we actually cover?

Accepted Answer

You give it the neighbourhoods and the drive time between visits. It checks every new address against them. A request three towns over gets a warm decline instead of a booking that would break the route.

Question 8

Will clients know they are talking to software?

Accepted Answer

Mikla is trained on the way you already write to your clients, so it sounds like your business. You choose whether callers are told they are speaking to an assistant. Every reply can wait for your approval until you are comfortable.

Question 9

Does it work with the scheduling software we already run?

Accepted Answer

Mikla books into the same calendar your sitters open every morning, with the client notes and the access instructions attached. Show us your scheduling tool on the demo and we will confirm the handoff.
