Dog boarding, on the other hand, is pretty irregular. So rather than Uber I think the correct analogy should be AirBnB.

- eli 9y agoYes and I think you just described Rover.com
- jermaustin1 9y agoAt the place I board my dog, there are plenty of regulars the he gets to play with. Seems like a lot of people around me will board their dog(s) every other weekend or so.
- Bartweiss 9y agoYep; it's a way better case for a coordination website. That site is Rover, which to my knowledge is doing just fine. (Wikipedia suggests they cleared $30 million in revenue last year.) They offer dog-walking too, but are probably a bit safer because the boarding offer is a good incentive to just stick around and use one site for everything. (Rover also provides insurance on each deal, a very un-Uber approach that's actually more protective than most low-tech arrangements.)
- neaden 9y agoI'm not sure that that is true. I always board my dog with the some place or a friend.
