You're In Business

PetPocketbook is a legitimate, established SaaS platform (founded 2015) serving the pet care industry, with verified traction including funding and positive third-party reviews (e.g., 4.9 stars on GetApp). However, the submission itself contained significant red flags, such as falsely claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people' have used the product. While independent verification confirms the project's utility and niche market presence (~7 employees, estimated $300k+ ARR), the score is heavily penalized by the poor quality and hyperbolic nature of the input data.

Description
Our mission is to simplify pet care for pet people, starting with a modern, online and mobile platform for small pet services businesses to automate and streamline their operations so that they can focus on what they love -- the pets they care for. Our end-to-end business management solution is tailored for pet care and includes CRM, automated schedule optimization, staff management, seamless billing and payments, marketing tools, integrated analytics and comprehensive reporting – basically everything a business needs all in one place. Our initial focus is on dog walking \u0026 sitting companies, but we expect to span the entire pet care domain, including grooming, training, boarding, and even veterinary services down the road.
