Overview
My co-founder and I started this to help people find local, trustworthy dog walkers, because it was a problem I ran into and knew we could offer a better solution for.
So far we’ve grown our offline beta to 2000 interested walkers, 300 with full profiles in Los Angeles. We’ve had bi-weekly training sessions for them in the parks to make them more trustworthy and to find those that are committed. We also get them insurace: Insurance Info. Now we are setting them up with jobs and have about 100 walks going on per month. We are developing a fully featured web app to give infrastructure so we can push up those walks numbers heavily, right now we are doing it manually so can’t scale it as drastically with the two of us.
