with pups
Pack Mates is a Dog Walking App designed specifically for women who are seeking a reliable solution for their dog walking needs besides connecting with other women who own dogs and enjoy walking, hiking and meeting friends ensuring safety through careful matching.
🐾The Challenge:
Finding a Dog Walker while being part of a community
Market research indicates a growing demand for dog walking services among busy dog owners, but many individuals struggle to find reliable dog walkers who can cater to their specific schedules, especially on short notice. For women trust was a crucial factor and furthermore they often seek a community of like-minded individuals to connect with and share their passion for dogs and outdoor activities. Safety concerns while using dog walking apps, particularly when matched with male walkers, have also been highlighted as a significant pain point.
