The comment about the social network for pet owners made me think of this, which actually turns out to be quite a good idea I think: http://abovethecrowd.com/2012/11/13/our-most-recent-marketpl... "DogVacay is an online marketplace that links dog owners with passionate dog care providers who open up their own home as an alternative to the traditional cage-oriented kennel." |

DogVacay is not a social network for pet owners, nor do they seem to want to be one, thankfully. DogVacay is really good at one thing - finding me dog owners who can take care of my dog better than a random professional kennel (and usually for less money). They are a marketplace disrupting the unsexy kennel business by taking advantage of the subtle facts that almost no dog owner likes kennels, most of them would trust another dog owner more than one, and that many dog owners (and even people without pets) and their dogs would actually enjoy hosting someone else's pet for a few days. I don't even do it for the money.
