What does Pet Services Lead Finder do?

Pet Services Lead Finder pulls Google Maps listings for US independent pet services (grooming, boarding, daycare, dog walking, training, pet sitting, pet retail, specialty), enriches each record with phone, website, emails, social handles, and detected pet-services management software. National chains (PetSmart, Petco, Camp Bow Wow, Dogtopia, K9 Resorts, Pet Supplies Plus) are pre-blocked so the dataset is true independent operators only.

Features

• US-wide Google Maps coverage across 7 pet-services sub-verticals.
• Service line classification: grooming, boarding_daycare, dog_walking, training, pet_sitting, pet_retail, specialty.
• National chains pre-blocked (PetSmart, Petco, Camp Bow Wow, Dogtopia, K9 Resorts, Pet Supplies Plus, Wag N' Wash).
• Email scraping with role bucketing.
• Pet-services platform detection: Gingr, Time To Pet, PawPartner, DaySmart Pet, PetExec, ProPet, GroomSoft, Precise Pet Care, Kennel Link.
• Marketplace presence detection (Rover, Wag).
• Social handle extraction.
• Confidence score per record.
• Pay-per-event pricing.

Use cases

• Pet-services SaaS outbound for Gingr, Time To Pet, PawPartner, DaySmart Pet, PetExec, ProPet, GroomSoft, Precise Pet Care competitors.
• Pet-services PE rollup sourcing (rapidly consolidating independent operators).
• Pet insurance carrier prospecting (Trupanion, Healthy Paws, Embrace, Lemonade Pet) targeting independents.
• Pet food and supplement distributor sales to independents.
• Veterinary tie-in / referral programs.
• Marketplace partner recruitment (Rover, Wag, Cuddlytails).

FAQ

Q: Is this legal? A: Yes. Data is sourced from publicly listed Google Maps business profiles and the businesses' own public websites. No login walls are bypassed; no private data is scraped. You are responsible for compliance with CAN-SPAM, TCPA, and state privacy laws when contacting the leads.

Q: Why might a run fail or return zero records? A: The most common cause is the Apify free-plan compute / proxy credit ceiling - large premium runs can exhaust it mid-run. We soft-fail by default so the run still finishes with whatever was already enriched and writes a partial dataset rather than throwing. If a paid run errors out, check the run log for the rate-limit or proxy-bandwidth message.

Q: Why no Petco / PetSmart / Camp Bow Wow / Dogtopia? A: We target independent operators (single-location and small-multi) because that is where the pet-services SaaS, insurance carrier, and supplier TAM lives. National chains run centralized procurement and proprietary stacks - they aren't realistic buyers for Gingr / Time To Pet / PawPartner-class products, so they are pre-blocked when exclude_chains: true. Set exclude_chains: false if you specifically want corporate locations.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Records are fetched live at run time - Google Maps listings reflect the current snapshot, and website enrichment reflects the homepage as of the run timestamp (scraped_at). There is no stale cache.

Q: Can I schedule daily or weekly runs? A: Yes. Use Apify's built-in Schedules feature to run this actor on any cron interval. Pair with a webhook to push only the diff (new shops, changed tech_stack) to your CRM.

Q: Does it integrate with my CRM? A: Yes - via Zapier, Make, n8n, or direct webhook. Dataset records map cleanly into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Clay, Apollo, and Instantly. See the Integrations section below.

Q: What does it cost in practice? A: Pay-per-event: $0.004 base, $0.008 with email, $0.015 fully enriched with pet-services management software or marketplace signals. A typical metro-wide independent run lands in the $5-15 range. No subscription, no minimum.

Pricing

Pay-per-event - billed only on records actually emitted:

Event	Price	When charged
Base record	$0.004	Every record
Email enrichment	+ $0.004	At least one verified email scraped
Premium signals	+ $0.007	Pet-services management software or marketplace presence detected

Effective: $0.004 base / $0.008 with email / $0.015 fully enriched. A 1,000-record metro-wide enriched run typically lands between $5 and $15.

Save your input as an Apify Task

Apify Tasks let you save a configured input once and re-run it with a single click - no need to re-type search terms, locations, filters, or tier settings every time. Tasks are the foundation for everything that comes next: schedules, monitor mode, and webhook routing all attach to a saved Task, not to the raw actor.

Steps to save your current input as a Task:

1. On this actor's Apify Store page, click Run with your input fully configured.
2. Click the Save as task button at the top of the run page.
3. Name the task something memorable (e.g. Pet groomers in Chicago, IL - weekly).
4. Reload the task page and click Start anytime to re-run with the same inputs.

Tasks unlock the next two features below: scheduling and monitor mode.

Run this weekly with Apify Schedules

Apify Schedules cron-run any saved Task automatically. Pair this with the saved Task above and you get hands-off recurring runs with no manual clicks, no missed weeks, and a steady stream of fresh data into your CRM or warehouse.

Steps to schedule a Task:

1. Save your input as a Task (see above).
2. Go to https://console.apify.com/schedules and click Create new schedule.
3. Pick your Task and set the cron expression. Common patterns:
   • Daily at 9am UTC: 0 9 * * *
   • Weekly on Mondays at 9am: 0 9 * * 1
   • Monthly on the 1st: 0 9 1 * *
4. Save. Apify will run your Task on that schedule automatically, push the dataset to whatever integrations you have wired up, and fire run-completion webhooks for downstream automation.

Run weekly to keep your prospect list fresh and catch newly-opened groomers, boarders, and pet-care SMBs.

Monitor mode (v2, beta)

Monitor mode is the v2 evolution of this actor and is currently in BETA. It turns a recurring schedule into a true change-feed instead of a firehose of duplicate records.

How it works:

• When this actor runs under an Apify Schedule, monitor mode is enabled automatically.
• Instead of emitting ALL records every run, it emits ONLY records that are NEW or CHANGED since the last scheduled run.
• A digest record summarizes the delta (X new, Y changed, Z removed) at the top of every run.
• Optional: provide a Slack or email webhook URL in the monitor_webhook_url input field and the digest fires there too, so your team gets the delta in their inbox or channel without polling the dataset.
• Cost: a single scheduled_delta_run event ($0.05) per scheduled run, plus standard PPE on emitted delta records only. Predictable monthly cost, no surprise bills from re-charging for unchanged records.

Monitor mode is rolling out to the top 3 actors first (this one included if it's hotel-motel-lead-finder, google-maps-reviews-pro, or mcp-accounting-firm-leads). Full portfolio coverage by end of June.
