A sick dog gave Ali Jarvis her classic entrepreneur’s flash: that moment when she needed a service that didn’t exist and figured that, if it was something she valued, other people would, as well.
“My dog had a rare neuromuscular disease, and I needed to give him medication several times a day. I was looking for a list of businesses where I could take him while I was running errands, as well as restaurants and coffee shops where I could hang out with him and my friends,” explains Jarvis. “When I couldn’t find it, I decided to start it.”
