Welcome Ailie Birchfield, Founder of PawCare. How can you ensure your pet doesn't miss a vaccination or receives the right vitamins? You use PawCare.
PawCare is on a mission to make trusted pet care easy and accessible for all.
Pet care services in the United States is a $40B industry, with 197,000 pet care providers and 425MM appointments completed yearly. Yet, the most basic experience of booking pet care services is broken. For pet parents, finding, booking, and managing pet care appointments are a huge headache. To top it all, there is a lack of a connected experience between pet parents and pet care providers causing friction for everyone in the ecosystem.
Providers lose money all the time due to no-shows and cancellations. 40% of bookings happen after hours when providers are closed. Additionally, providers don’t have the business acumen to think holistically about retaining their clients.
PawCare is the first connected discovery, booking, and appointment management platform for both pet parents and pet care providers.
Using an empathetic mobile-first customer experience, pet parents can easily find, book, and manage their pet care appointments. They can set up their pets’ profiles, manage pet records, track provider and service history, etc. PawCare becomes the only platform they will need to manage their pet care needs. Service providers, on the other hand, get a full calendar with bookings coming their way 24/7. They get paid whether no-shows or cancellations; their brand is represented on the PawCare marketplace where they get access to a network of pet parents; they finally have a connected platform to streamline their front-of-the-house operations, fully connected to their customers’ journeys.
