PetSlot

PetSlot is a mobile + web marketplace focused on urgent, short-notice pet services: same-day dog walking, emergency drop-in visits, “my sitter canceled” backups, and after-hours pet transport to vets. Owners post a time window and location; nearby providers with verified availability can accept instantly. The app prioritizes reliability over endless browsing: real-time availability, strict cancellation penalties, and a “backup provider” option that auto-assigns if the first cancels. Providers get a lightweight schedule tool and payout tracking. An AI layer helps match based on distance, skill tags (reactive dogs, meds), and historical reliability, and it flags risky bookings (e.g., inconsistent instructions). This is not trying to be a full Rover clone; it’s a narrow, high-intent problem where speed and trust matter more than brand browsing.
