Support Our Mission

Building sustainable community care, together

🌱

When traditional pet care services charge $50-100 per day, we knew there had to be a better way. Caretakr was founded on a simple belief: communities thrive when neighbors help neighbors.

We've built a platform that connects trusted friends and community members for home and pet care—no transactions, no fees, just mutual support. But maintaining this free service requires infrastructure, tools, and resources.

Your donations help us keep Caretakr completely free for all members. We operate transparently, with no investors or hidden agendas—just a commitment to making travel accessible for pet owners and building stronger communities.

How Costs Scale

The beautiful problem: more community members = more server power needed

~$95/mo Now
~$150/mo 500 users
~$300/mo 1K users
~$500/mo 5K users

More users means more messages, more data, more cat photos... and that's a good thing!

🎯 Current Goal: 3-Month Operating Buffer

Raised: $95 / $300

Help us build a 3-month buffer to ensure stable operations as we grow!

What Makes Us Different

Built by the Community: Caretakr started as friends helping friends. Every feature, every improvement comes from real community needs, not investor demands.

Trust Over Transactions: While other platforms take 15-30% fees, we run entirely on donations. Your support keeps us independent and free for everyone who needs it.

Real Relationships: This isn't gig economy pet-sitting. These are your neighbors, your friends, your community. The connections made here last beyond any single trip.
