📌

Furrn was born out of a pet parent's struggle, where the desire to travel clashed with the responsibility of caring for beloved pets at home. The founder, like many pet parents in India, faced the dilemma of not being able to explore the world or accommodate friends with pets due to the challenges of travel. In India, pet parents often find themselves sacrificing travel plans due to the inability to leave their furry friends behind. Simultaneously, potential pet parents shy away from adopting pets, fearing the impossibility of managing travel commitments. How Furrn Comes to the Rescue: 01. Worry-Free Pet Hosting: Furrn transforms this narrative by offering worry-free pet hosting. Pet parents can now travel without anxiety, knowing their pets are in the hands of trustworthy hosts. 02. Community Connection: Furrn connects a community of pet lovers, sharing stories of overcoming travel hurdles. Pet parents can now explore new horizons, and friends can consider adopting pets, confident in finding care solutions. 03. Freedom for Pet Owners: Experience the freedom to travel, unburdened by the worry of leaving pets alone. Furrn empowers pet parents to live their lives to the fullest while ensuring their pets receive love and care. 04. Earning While Caring: For those willing to open their homes to pets, Furrn offers an opportunity to earn while providing a loving environment. It's a win-win for hosts and pets alike.

Very cool! Since this type of marketplace usually generate quite monogamous relationship between supply & demand, after the initial matching (same as with baby sitters, cleaners etc), how do you plan to prevent disintermediation?

@sjoerdhandgraaf omg that’s a brilliant question. While the feature is still not live, we plan to rank users based on the number of repeat visits. This “repeat visits” attribute would work as one of the trust markers for pet parents to identify a trusted host. What do you think?

@sjoerdhandgraaf Thank you sir. These suggestions are great and answers a lot of questions i've been struggling with. I believe subscription model makes a lot of sense in this case. Thank you again!

Hey @naveed_rehman Big thanks for the encouragement—it means the world! Exciting news: We're gearing up for launch in India, where there are hardly any trusted options for pet boarding to come by.

That's such a fantastic initiative, Furrn! I can definitely see how it's addressing a common struggle for pet parents in India. How do you ensure that the hosts are trustworthy and provide the best care for the pets? 🐾

@goyashy thanks a ton! That’s a fantastic question! We are getting a stringent background check and approval process in place which would allow fewer but absolutely trustworthy pet lovers to be listed as hosts on furrn! Would love to hear your ideas and suggestions towards making furrn a safe place for the furry ones. Thanks again. It means a lot!

The worry-free pet hosting is brilliant, finally freeing us to travel without anxiety. The community connection aspect is heartwarming, sharing stories and solutions. Definitely considering hosting; any plans to introduce a rating system for hosts and guests? Great initiative, @vj_ overall!

@shivam_singh63 thank you for the kind words. To your question- yes, there is a review and rating system in place. Ratings/reviews would play a key role in identifying a trustworthy host. Pets would also have a profile and pet hosts would be able to rate them based on various parameters like behaviour/ training/ temperament etc. Thanks again. Your feedback means a lot!

Wow, Furrn.com sounds like a dream come true for pet owners! I can't tell you how many times I've had to scramble to find a reliable pet sitter when I've traveled. I'm curious, how does Furrn ensure the hosts are trustworthy? Do they go through a vetting process or background checks? It would be great to have that peace of mind knowing my fur baby is in good hands.
