Pawfriends | Social Media for Pet Lovers and Owners

Inspired by Love for Pets

Product Vision

As a broke student who loves scrolling through cute videos of animals but cannot afford to adopt one, it was natural for me to yearn for a place where I could meet someone who would let me play with their pet. Also, I noticed that pet owners often create Facebook posts looking for pet sitters.

I wondered, what if there is a community that could meet this unmet need from both ends?

That's how PAWFRIENS was born — a social media platform that pet owners and pet lovers can connect with each other!

PAWFRIENDS sets out to create a friendly, welcoming community for both pet owners and pet lovers.
