Starting in Boston, built for pet lovers across America. We welcome your feedback, support, and ideas—let’s make life better for our furry friends, together.
Our Mission
At PetCare+, we believe one simple truth:
Pets aren’t just allowed — they should be welcomed.
Why We Started
PetCare+ was born from a daily frustration:
“Can I bring my pet here?”
As student pet owners ourselves, we’ve faced the uncertainty — standing outside a restaurant or store, unsure whether our furry friend would be turned away. That uncertainty is stressful, awkward, and sometimes even heartbreaking. So we decided to change that — by building a trusted map made for pet owners, by pet owners.
What We Envision
We believe in a future where every city is more pet-friendly — not just in words, but in action.
Where pet owners can confidently walk into a café, hotel, or park without hesitation.
Where pet-friendly businesses are easier to find, recognized, and celebrated. And where transparency and community input guide the choices we make.
What We Stand For
We are a group of university students based in Boston.
We don’t have millions in funding.
We don’t have big teams.
But what we do have is heart — and a clear mission:
- Build something simple but useful
- Create a trusted community built on real reviews
- Use technology to bring warmth, not just data
Our Values
- Human-first: Behind every review is a story. Behind every place is a relationship.
- Real & Transparent: We don’t manipulate reviews. What you see is what users have lived.
- Community-powered: We grow this map together — every user helps shape it.
- Long-term mindset: If it’s good for pets and people, it’s good for us.
