Show HN: Petset.Life – Toolkit for becoming a nomad petsitter

4 点作者 philjw3 个月前
Ever since I started working from remote I took the chance to become more nomadic. I do enjoy the company of pets though - and saving on rent is a plus. So how to combine it? Pet sitting!<p>The problem? Existing matching-platforms feel like gated communities—paywalls, intermediaries taking a cut, and a sea of applicants for every listing. My theory: Platforms (be it dating, real estate or petsitting) are like icebergs: Many connections happen below the surface, outside these platforms—through serendipity, personal and extended networks. I found my apartment by dropping flyers in 30 mailboxes, my last relationship started abroad and most of my petsitting jobs emerged through friends and colleagues abroad.<p>So I thought about building something else: a &quot;non-platform&quot;-platform. A simple and interactive way for petsitters (or aspiring ones) to create a shareable old-school business card with prefered pets, locations, description, photos, suitable introduction text and hashtags. No logins, no data collection — just a Vue 3 app that runs locally in your browser and allows to export in WebP, JPG, PNG and JSON to save &amp; restore. Post it where you already have trust—LinkedIn, Instagram, local Facebook groups or wherever your network lives—and let the right connections happen naturally.<p>It&#x27;s an experiment - but who knows? You could be petsitting next week.<p>The tool itself is for free - but a donation gives access to a sheet of local petsitting communities, a LinkedIn group and the Telegram chat &#x2F; saves some time to get starting :)

This is a cool idea, and I totally get the frustration with existing platforms. How do you ensure your card gets seen by the right people, especially when starting out? It relies heavily on having an existing network already interested in pet-sitting, which might be a barrier for some. Still, I appreciate the fresh thinking and the focus on privacy – definitely worth exploring!

You listed paywalls as a problem but then paywalled the list of communities yourself
