Free Dog-Sharing Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Dogshare' Connects Nearby Owners for Canine Play Dates

— January 26, 2018 — Lifestyle
Dogs are pretty darn great, but not everyone who wants to own them has the time to care for them; with Dogshare, more people can get dogs into their lives. The app brings the principles of the sharing economy to dog ownership, letting owners connect to a nearby network of dogs to make canine play dates or offload their pups for a while.

On Dogshare, users develop networks of friends that they can chat with to make plans. Whether those plans are simply meeting up to let their dogs play with one another or something slightly longer, like having another owner take care of one's dog during a weekend away, Dogshare aims to be a network for spreading owners' responsibilities across a caring community.

Dogshare isn't solely for dog owners either. Users can sign up as borrowers if they want to watch others' dogs now and then.
Trend Themes
1. Sharing Economy for Pets - The Dogshare app is part of a growing trend of sharing economy platforms that connect pet owners for various services, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the pet care industry.
2. Peer-to-peer Pet Services - Dogshare's network of friends and borrowers allows for peer-to-peer dog care services, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovation in the pet sitting and dog walking industries.
3. Community-based Dog Ownership - Dogshare fosters a community of dog owners who can rely on each other for play dates and temporary dog care, leading to disruptive innovation in the community-based dog ownership model.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Care - The rise of dog-sharing platforms like Dogshare highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the pet care industry, from traditional services to innovative peer-to-peer models.
2. Pet Sitting - The concept of borrowers on Dogshare opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the pet sitting industry, where individuals can provide temporary care for dogs in their local community.
3. Dog Walking - Dogshare's network of dog owners and borrowers creates disruptive innovation potential in the dog walking industry, offering a community-based alternative to traditional dog walking services.
