Petchmaker

When you can no longer care for your pet, find it the right person.

Product design, full-stack build

Overview

A matching platform connecting pet owners who need temporary or permanent care with vetted caretakers - profiles, listings, and a request flow that respects how emotional these decisions are.

The problem

Life changes - illness, moving, finances - can make pet care impossible. The alternatives (shelters, random posts) are stressful and risky. There's no calm, trustworthy way to match a pet with the right person.

Approach

  • 01Designed owner and caretaker profiles plus pet listings with the details that actually matter for a match.
  • 02Built a request/match flow with clear states so nobody is left wondering what happens next.
  • 03Modeled pets, owners, caretakers, and requests in Postgres with secure access rules.
  • 04Sketched a lightweight matching score to surface the most compatible caretakers first.

Outcomes

  • A deployed MVP people can sign into and use.
  • Shows product judgment around a sensitive, human problem - plus the data model behind it.
