Pet-sitting services today can cost as much as $1,000/week, why not have pet parents help one another? Users on Pawsible can browse nearby pet parents who are willing to pet-sit mutually. They send an invite, schedule a pet-sit and return the favor when free.
Hi guys! My name is Jerry, a co-founder at Pawsible. We're an app that connects pet parents within the same neighborhood for mutual pet-sitting. If you're like me who have a pet and live in an expensive place like San Francisco, you know the struggle: pet-sitting services can get really expensive! We're talking $50 for a dog walk, $300 to feed a cat over the weekend and $1,000 to take care of them for a week. My other co-founders Jenny and Qifan, who are also pet parents, and I thought, "Why not build a platform where all pet parents can help one another?" Then, Pawsible was born.
We now have about 500 users, with more than 50% based in the Bay Area, but we need MORE MORE MORE! If you have a fur baby or simply an animal lover, I'd LOVE for you to give our app a try and let us know of your experience: is it easy to navigate? How do you like our design & scheduling system? Any ideas to make our app better? Etc. We'd love for you to be part of our growth journey.
This is such a refreshing alternative to expensive pet-sitting services. The idea of swapping pet care with neighbors is brilliant—how do users find the best match for their pet’s needs?
Ok this is so cute. Any chance you’ll be available in Switzerland? 🇨🇭 Also, how are you making sure that the petsitters on the app are not weirdos?
Hey Jerry!
You're solving a real problem, and trust me, this is a huge pain point in India too—especially in Tier 1 cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. Pet-sitting here is both expensive and unstructured, and the demand is only growing!
Just to give you an idea of the market size: India has 31 million pet dogs alone, growing at 12% YoY, with the pet care industry expected to hit $1.2 billion by 2025. There's massive potential for a community-driven, affordable solution like Pawsible!
Let’s connect and explore how we can grow this together.
Good initiative also want to join such an community harsh truth i don't have a pet 🥲
Love the idea!😄 As a dog lover myself, i always wanted a product like this. But all in all, the pet sitters' training, management and screening is very important to the whole experience. Looking forward to the new launch!
Congrats on the PH launch, Jerry & team! For the Bay Area pet parent, this hits the pain point perfectly - mutual pet-sitting saves $1k/week while building community trust. Love the reciprocity mechanism and geo-fencing feature!
Pro tip: Add pet-care specialty tags (e.g. senior dog experience/medical care) and gamify with achievement badges. Already digging the clean UI ! Can't wait to see how you'll disrupt the traditional pet care model through sharing economy. 🐾
Love this idea. Could imagine using it even during the work day so our dog has a buddy while we're gone. Congrats on the launch!
The idea is really cool! I hope your product takes over the world so we can leave our kitty without any worries
Pawsible takes the financial burden out of pet-sitting while fostering connections among pet owners. A brilliant way to build a support network for pets and their humans.
As a pet owner, I know how tough it can be to find reliable and affordable care. Pawsible makes so much sense! Are there any plans to introduce vetting or verification features for added security?
Love this community-driven approach to pet-sitting! It’s a win-win for pet parents who want to save money and build local connections. How are you ensuring trust and safety between users?
I love this idea! As a dog owner, I know how stressful (and expensive) finding a pet sitter can be, so having a trusted network of local pet parents sounds super helpful. How do you handle trust and safety—do users get verified or reviewed?
Hey, this is a great idea, would love to see it expanding across Europe too!
What a sweet product!! Every time I go on a trip, I worry about my cat and how lonely she will be.
Like this product. With this, my family and I can go on trips together now.😂
