The Idea Behind Pawlee… (A story from the Founders)

The idea for Pawlee began with our cat. She hated being caged, staying in hotels, and plane travel was out of the question for her. We couldn't find an affordable kennel that she found satisfactory. Finding pet-friendly hotels was a real struggle as well.

Needless to say, this really limited our trip destinations. In 2017, we passed through 440 cities by car just because we couldn't find trusted, reliable, adequate care for our cat. When we searched online, we discovered that most solutions, like overnight pet sitters, really only catered to canines. In addition, there was no way to easily compare professionals in our area.

So, we began talking with our pet parent friends. And it turns out this is a common problem for most pet owners. Hotels have weight restrictions for dogs and usually only allow one pet. We also learned many dog, cat, and critter owners didn't know how to find trustworthy, reliable, affordable care.

Once we began our research, we learned that if our friends were struggling with this problem, so were the 163 million Americans that also owned pets. Since 90% of Americans consider their pets part of the family, we knew they'd want to treat them like family, too.

And like that, Pawlee was born. We developed a social media platform and a simple way to easily search for local pet sitters and boarders. But we didn't stop there. We thought, "wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to find any pet professional in one spot?" With Pawlee you can search for reliable pet sitters that will come to your pet or take your pet in, grooming services, pet taxis, foster pet parents, and we even added a pet lost and found!
