Startup of the Week - DogBuddy
by Startacus Admin
Finding reliable doggy day care, dog walking and sitting services just became a whole lot easier, care of startup DogBuddy.
Let’s face it - whilst we may never want to be seperated from our pet pooches, sometimes life gets in the way and we have no choice in the matter. Whether it’s because of work commitments or a trip abroad, our beloved Fido can’t always be with us.Whilst some of us may be fortunate enough to have a friend or family member who can look after our canine chum in our absence, that’s not the case for everyone.
Step forward our latest Startup of the Week, DogBuddy, which is addressing that very issue.
DogBuddy is an online platform and app which “helps dogs and their owners enjoy life”!
You can use DogBuddy to help you find everything from Dog Sitters and Dog Walkers through to Doggy Day Care providers and alternatives to dog kennels.
Simply register on the site and complete a basic profile of your dog. Then search the platform for the particular service you need in your area - whether it’s a dog sitter or whatever.
You can communicate directly with them and ask any questions before you make a booking. 
The booking and payment can then be done via the platform and you can of course use it to liaise directly with the sitter regarding the finer details - drop off and pick up times etc.
All bookings are covered by both Vet and Third Party liability insurance and since every sitter or doggy care provider is assessed and screened before they can be listed on the site, you can be sure that your dog will be in good hands.
DogBuddy is a startup which is providing a quality service that is of real value. We reckon it is definitely one to watch (and we don't think we are barking up the wrong tree).
