DogVacay, The Airbnb For Pets', Debuts Its Native iOS App For Booking Dog Sitters

DogVacay App 1DogVacay has been assigned a tagline by the press that sounds a little ridiculous when you hear it -- "the Airbnb for pets" -- but the business itself is actually a very practical one. The Los Angeles-based startup runs a marketplace to let pet owners easily find and book local pet sitters to take care of their dogs when they go out of town. Today, DogVacay is launching its first ever mobile app that lets you book a dog-sitting stay with an offering for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's a pretty straightforward launch that brings all the functionality of DogVacay's website down to the iOS form factor, but DogVacay CEO Aaron Hirschhorn told me in an interview that he expects the mobile launch to have a significant impact on how both owners and sitters use the service.
