Most people might be using the pet-sitting marketplace, grown into popularity after the success of Uber business.

The pet-sitting business model has inspired many entrepreneurs to start their own startups in their neighborhood.

So, let’s know in detail the business model of a pet-sitting marketplace.

Rich future for pet-sitting business

According to the National Pet Owners Survey 2019–2020 conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 67% of US households own a pet.

It is also concluded that in 2018, $72.56 billion was spent on pets in the U.S based on food, medicine, vet care, animal purchase, and other services. In 2019, it is estimated $75.38 billion will be spent on our pets in the U.S.

From these stats, we get the idea that pets have become a key member in families and offering pet-services like pet-sitting, pet-walking, vet care for pets in the sharing economy fashion is a worthy idea to consider.

Business model

The platform is designed to bring together the pet-watchers and pet owners.

The internal process of the pet-watchers

  1. The pet-watchers sign into the platform.
  2. The platform first verifies the authenticity and their skills to handle any pets.
