Pet loving homeowners and pet-owning travelers, look no further – Petbnb was tailor-made with exactly you in mind. Based off of a preexisting and successful apartment-surfing website, Israeli start-up Petbnb allows pet-owners to connect with pet lovers who are willing to take in their pets as opposed to putting up their pets in kennels or with their non-enthusiastic relatives. Now, the startup is preparing for its US debut.

The way it works is easy and user-friendly: interested pet-owners can browse the welcoming Petbnb website for affordable hosts at various locations and at different available dates. The website is currently in Hebrew only, while still in its Beta phase until its international release in the US. Each host is verified by the company to ensure safety and comfort for pets, so no need to worry about Spike or Buddy being left in the wrong hands. Verification of hosts involves a two-step procedure- including ratings similar to the website’s apartment-surfing sister and a screening process with the Petbnb team.

Pet-owners can also browse through profiles of hosts with pictures and details about what they offer for your furry friend, with the ability to search by various categories such as price, location, type of home, backyard length and previous reviews. Another added advantage- Petbnb offers insurance that is covered in their service charge.

With dogs ruling the streets of major Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, there is a growing need for safe, homely options for pets whose owners are temporarily leaving town. Through Petbnb, Israeli and soon US pet-owners never have to fret again about where and who to leave their pet with during their trip, and Israeli users have made the website quite the success thus far. Forbes Magazine caught wind of the company and named the website one of the 25 Hot Israeli Startups to watch in 2014 this past summer, among other Israeli startup all-stars such as Moovit, Yevvo, Kaltura and Zuta Labs.

Recognizing the importance of ensuring the safety of the pet-owner’s loved one, the website has carefully crafted their services to be the best, most comfortable, affordable and safest option for a traveler’s pet that pairs your furry loved one with the right caretaker. Petbnb is beyond doubt a pet-lovers helping pet-lovers service, taking Israel and soon the US by storm one pet at a time.
