Nowadays, more and more people choose to have a pet as a companion. However, there are circumstances, for example business travels, that pet owners have no time to take care of their pets. Consequently, there is a great demand for pet boarding services. Petty Care was therefore founded aiming to help pet owners find reliable sitters.

The target users of the app are pet owners seeking pet boarding in Indiana and Illinois.
