BarnePet comes from the Norwegian word BarnePike which means Nanny.
The application is a platform which connects local pet sitters to pet owners
In the country, there is a huge untapped market of pet owners and hence, this project provides a service which experiments on that market. Also, personal experiences of having a difficult time finding a safe place to keep my pets when I have to travel or leave endorses the fact that this could be a need of pet owners in the region.
Similar products like this do exist such as PAWSHAKE, ROVER—DOG SITTERS & WALKERS, TRUSTEDHOUSESITTERS and BRINGFIDO but these are restricted to the international market and no such application exists in the country.
The application will have the following high level features
- A signUp/login page
- A home page displaying a list of sitters. (can be filtered by area, price, age, number of pets present etc)
- An action button to enlist as a sitter
- A profile button to see statistics (as a sitter)
- logout button
- User can choose a sitter, a form will be opened asking about (but not limited to):
- Number of pets to sit
- Number of days required
- Type of pets to sit
- if pets are children friendly or need extra care/medication
- A form with certain fields to provide details of the sitter being enlisted including but not limited to
- Pet type
- Number of pets
- years of experience
- age
- gender
- a short bio
- contact details
- charges
- The owner can rate the experience with the sitter and this will be reflected on the sitter's profile
As the features listed above portray:
- The application will have multiple pages and require navigation.
- The sitters and users profile data/statistics need to be stored on Firebase/Firestore backend
- Multiple Flutter Widgets and Layouts will be used to make the application more user centric and attractive.
