Discover a cleaner, safer, and more dedicated way to care for your dog.
PetBacker tries to do everything for everyone—from grooming to transport for all kinds of animals. At DogLovers.co, we do one thing perfectly: Dogs. We've traded PetBacker's cluttered interface and "quote-spam" for a streamlined, high-trust community built exclusively for dog parents.

Three reasons to leave PetBacker behind
On PetBacker, you post a request and get bombarded with automated bids from people who haven't even read your dog's profile. On DogLovers.co, you are in control. Browse curated profiles, read real reviews, and message only the people you think are a perfect fit.
Dogs have unique needs—socialization, exercise, and pack dynamics. While PetBacker treats a dog stay the same as a bird-sitting job, our platform is designed around dog-specific features: energy levels, vaccination tracking, and leash behavior.
PetBacker's volume-first approach means quantity over quality. We prioritize verified, trusted providers in your local community. You'll find familiar faces from your neighborhood dog park, not random bidders from across the city.

Real stories from former PetBacker users
"I was so tired of getting 15+ quotes every time I posted on PetBacker. Most didn't even read that my dog needs a fenced yard. DogLovers shows me exactly what I need to know upfront."
"PetBacker felt like scrolling through classifieds. DogLovers feels like a real community. I found my sitter through neighborhood recommendations, not algorithm spam."
"As a provider, I was drowning in PetBacker's bidding wars. Here, I set my rates, owners find me, and we have real conversations. No more racing to the bottom on price."
No problem! Many of our providers started on PetBacker. You can easily transfer your experience and build your reputation here. We even offer tools to help import your service details.
We're growing rapidly across Singapore. Our dog-exclusive focus means every provider is serious about dogs specifically. We prioritize quality neighborhood matches over sheer volume.
