For friends who don't know, I own, and operate a small business in the pet care industry. I lost much of my business once during covid and thankfully it rebounded in 2022 after nearly two years of next to no business. I am a solo operator, I do all the work. You hire me, you get me (or occasionally my wonderful husband who is fully insured as well and equally loving and responsible). Together we have cared for beloved pets of our clients since 2007 with impeccable reviews and not one insurance claim.

In my own personal experience using an app (reluctantly) for our own pets care … (Rover), the woman stayed in our home with our 3 dogs and cat and decided to also run a day care center with human BABIES and toddlers) in cribs she moved into our guestroom and let those children run around our home, unbeknownst to us of course. Our greatest nightmare.

Our business greatly relies on folks needing us when they work or when they travel. Ill be honest, in the best of times, we still see a lot of hardships with gaining clientele, mainly due to the giant apps like Rover, Wag, Meowtel, etc. Now, more than ever, those businesses are gaining more and more users (not clients) both on the gig worker side and pet owner side. The folks who offer services receive ZERO training or support from these apps and the terms and conditions exclude liability of the company that owns the app, 99.99% of the time.

HERES THE KICKER: These giant TECH companies (not pet care providers) are able to pour millions into ads both TV and digital, while raking in MILLIONS of profits. Rover is owned by the same hedge fund that owns major dating apps. They aren't employing anyone out in the field - essentially they are a third party with amazing marketing skills, totally misleading customers. These pet sitters have no education, no formal training or behavioral knowledge of the pets in their “care”.

They are crushing and smothering small businesses. They don't want us to exist because they know that more folks have negative experiences than positive ones when they use random folks (AKA the kid next door), hence their payouts and NDAs to hush pet owners who lose pets due to negligent "sitters" aka anyone who decides to offer "services".

IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES DO NOT USE APPS TO FIND PET CARE!

Trust your pets with small businesses who have (like I do) real liability insurance, background checks, CPR pet first aid certification, training knowledge, Google reviews, etc. Better yet, talk to your neighbors, coworkers, and friends, etc. Find a real business with involved owners who dedicate their life to this type of care-based work because our livelihoods depend on you becoming a client and not supporting billion dollar hedgefunds while we struggle.

SUPPORT SMALL & LOCAL PROFESSIONAL PET CARE BUSINESSES!

Thank you for reading … means a lot! ❤️🐶😻
