PetGigz
Hiring Marketplace
Where pet owners and
pet caretakers meet
What Is petGigz?
In home pet care service is a personal industry that requires mutual confidence and trust between the provider and client.
Most households consider their pet a member of their family and find comfort in knowing their pet is in good hands.
We at PetGigz believe we can initiate that bond between owner and caregiver through our membership marketplace.
At PetGigz you can view members profiles, read performance reviews and find ratings from other owners on individuals seeking to bid on the posted job offers.
At PetGigz owners list their job and wait for qualified caregivers to engage themselves with the owner by bidding on the gig to show interest. The owner would select the best candidate for their needs by awarding the gig to the caretaker they choose. Think of it as a job auction.
An open market like this not only gives owners insight from other owners who have retained the caregivers services in the past, but also allows both owners and caregivers a direct connection to virtually meet and greet before both parties agree to the gigs terms.
This style of open market hiring has been very successful. Examples of this style can be seen at popular sites such as Upwork , Freelancer and Fiverr

This is cute and all but how would PetGigz make money?
Targeted Ads
PetGigz requires every member to create an account (Profile).
The profile creation will ask the member for details on their pet.
This would of course narrow down the products the members would be interested in.
Commission
Membership would be free forever at PetGigz.
PetGigz would charge a percentage per completed gig to the member posting the gig.
Premium Member
PetGigz would offer a premium profile tier for a monthly charge.
This would be a more visible profile or gig listing.
