Animalhotels is an app that works much like Airbnb – but for pets. It connects pet owners, who often travel for work or leisure, with trusted carers ready to provide their animals with warm, homely care.
The Story of Animalhotels
We created Animalhotels with pet owners in mind – those who need reliable, professional care for their animals while they’re away, at work or in other life situations — from dogs and cats to rodents, birds or even reptiles.
From the very beginning, we’ve enjoyed helping and getting involved in initiatives that not only allowed us to grow but also gave something positive back to others. Every such action meant that more and more people heard about Animalhotels and our mission.
We created non-profit projects such as pomocniludzie.pl, supported animal shelters, and shared our experience with students and young start-ups. Sometimes we donated prizes to charities, at other times we built websites that helped during moments of crisis. Each time, we were driven by the desire to do something more than simply grow our own business.
And it is precisely thanks to this – through openness, collaboration with people and offering real value – that Animalhotels now operates in over 150 countries.
Mission, Vision, Goal
- Mission – We connect pet owners with trusted pet sitters and pet hotels. Our mission is to ensure that every animal receives attentive, tailored care during their owner’s absence. We want to provide owners with a solution that gives them peace of mind and confidence that their pet is in safe hands, while giving pets comfort and happiness.
- Vision – We imagine a future where every pet owner, anywhere in the world, has quick and easy access to the best care for their animal. Animalhotels will become a global community of trusted carers.
- Goal – Our goal is to build the world’s largest database of pet sitters and pet hotels, and to attract millions of active users. We aim to continually improve the app so that booking care is simple and efficient, while ensuring that the customer experience remains exceptional. At the same time, we are developing a global community of animal lovers, built on trust, recommendations and mutual support, creating a brand that pet owners naturally recommend to one another.
Our Achievements
Since the launch of Animalhotels, a great deal has happened – and we’re truly proud of it. 🚀 Today, our app already has 70,000 users, and we are backed by 17 business angels who believed in our vision and joined the project.
We’ve also had the opportunity to showcase Animalhotels at some of the world’s largest innovation events – the Web Summit in Lisbon and Qatar, as well as Viva Technology in Paris. These experiences not only gave us a huge dose of inspiration, but also opened doors to new contacts and collaborations.
Along the way, we’ve collected several important awards:
- Golden Ticket from the Investor Academy,
- Award in the Software/Application category at the Executive Summit,
- 1st place at the Open Mic Pitch during Carpathian Startup Fest,
- Award for Best Startup in the category Digital Transformation and Organisation Management at Network IQ Alliance,
- 8 awards in the competition Startups powered by Invest in Łódź,
- Recognition from money.pl as one of the fastest-growing startups in Poland,
- 1st place in the Startup Pitch Challenge at the Executive Summit.
Each of these achievements is confirmation for us that the direction we have taken is the right one – and that Animalhotels has the potential to change the world of pet care on an even larger scale.
