Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
Finding an affordable pet sitter. Finding reliable pet insurance. Finding trainers for adult dogs. Making adoption easier.
Cat boarding services. At minimum 500/- per day, it gets very expensive quickly.
+1 to this. 500 is the minimum. The really good ones will easily charge 1000+ and more if your pet is on a special diet or needs to be given medicines etc.
i expected problems like lack of quality food at affordable rates or even lack of grooming services or medicals.
But the problems i see below are basically the role of the pet "parent". This is basic stuff that they need to do if they want a pet. If you cant take your dog to walk why do you need pet? so its just show off. some people wear jewelry ,some carry pets. I really hope some tech bro doesn't create an app to solve this by bringing pet parents and pet walkers to a single platform. I would prefer world war 3 than to hear another tech bro talking about how they solve problems using technology.
Reliable dog walkers for those rare days when there is no breathing space. Affordable pet boarding services. Kuddle provides dog walking and other services, but the dog walker I got was super unreliable and made a particularly bad day worse for me, so I never went back and tried using their services again.
This is true issue. Near my house, they have hired a guy to walk the dog. He takes the dog out, sit underneath a tree smokes a cigarette. When the smoke is finished he walks back home. The entire time for about 15 mins, he simple sits underneath the tree and the dog sits along with him. The owner thinks the dog is walking for the whole time.
1.) Human parents, please teach your kid/ children how NOT to behave around a dog. Don't scream bloody murder and startle our furry child. 2.) Ask for permission ALWAYS before petting the dog. 3.) Taking our furry child to work (like Google/ other organisations abroad have this system in place). 4.) Seeing other pet parents feed their furry children so much kibble without doing the proper research. 5.) More dog-fluencers have mushroomed now (only a few reliable ones on IG) and proper research is required for taking care of our canine members. 6.) More compassion and acceptance in the society for pet parents. They get unnecessarily harassed by non-pet parents.
I run a pet boarding service in bangalore and we started with quite affordable prices but some people have the mindset that if the prices are low the quality wouldn’t be good.
