# MyCritters

Pet services marketplace connecting owners with veterinarians, groomers, boarders, and more.

**Status:** Live at [mycritters.com](https://mycritters.com) - Active Development

**Type:** In-House Venture

## Tech Stack

Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, Stripe, nhost.io, Hasura, Drizzle

## Why We're Building This

We kept seeing pet-care businesses—vets, groomers, boarders—struggling with the same scheduling and discovery problems. Pet owners were forced to juggle phone calls, websites, and text messages just to find care for their pets. We decided to build a solution ourselves—not just to prove our development capabilities, but to deeply understand the challenges marketplace platforms face.

> **From the founder:** "MyCritters is the kind of platform we build for clients—marketplace dynamics, location-based search, and multi-role workflows. By building it ourselves, we prove our delivery standards work for real products with real users."

## What We've Built

- Location-based facility search with geolocation
- Service provider profiles with photos and details
- Requestable appointment scheduling system
- Multi-category listings (vets, groomers, boarding, walkers, stores)
- User accounts with saved favorites
- Payment integration for bookings

## Coming Soon

- Enhanced booking workflows with calendar integration
- Direct messaging between owners and providers
- Review and rating system
- Recurring appointment scheduling
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android
