Problem:
How often you go on vacation and have trouble finding places physically and monetarily accessible to leave your pet? Not everyone has family members who can stay with our pet, or who are willing to go to our home every day to make it a little company. The alternatives today are costly and often far from home, and if we choose more affordable options not always our pet will enjoy his holiday in a comfortable and friendly environment.
Solution:
It’s for these occasions that PetQuarters wants to create a platform that facilitates communication between the owners and the animal passionate communities, who are willing to receive and take care of the pet during their owner’s absence.
From the perspective of caregivers, we provide a centralized platform of owners who seek their services.
How does it work?
When the pet owner needs to find someone to take care of his pet, he accesses the platform and indicates the dates and location where he wants to hire a caregiver. The platform matches the owner’s request with the availability of the registered caregivers. Among the various options of caregivers, the owner chooses who he likes best and sends a request to that caregiver. As the caregiver receives the request, he can analyze the profile of the owner and the animal and accepts it (or not). In case he accepts, on the agreed day the owner goes to the caregiver’s house and delivers the pet, food and toys. At the end of his holiday the owner returns to the caregiver’s house to get his pet, toys and the remaining food, returning home with the assurance that his pet had a good holiday in a family environment surrounded by animal lovers.
What drives us?
The solution that we propose is to create a network of support to pet owner’s, which will have a simple means of communication with the communities of caregivers with affordable prices and location.
This solution allows to:
– Fight animal abandonment and isolation
– Generate extra income sources for caregivers
– Provide a reliable and low cost alternative compared to the current market
