Vancouver, BC, February 9, 2018--(T-Net)--GoFetch has closed a new $3.4 million funding round according to public information on Crunchbase, and the company has now raised approximately $6.8 million in financing across three rounds.
GoFetch is a leading Canadian pet services platform that was launched in Vancouver, BC in 2015.
The company was started in a Vancouver basement suite by two friends, Paul and Willson, who say they witnessed first hand how travel limitations, career demands, and busy schedules can limit the joy of pet ownership.
GoFetch connects pet parents with a network of trusted and vetted pet sitters and dog walkers.
The website offers premium pet insurance for all services booked through GoFetch, secure online payments, world-class customer support, sitter ratings and reviews, personalized chat, mobile apps, and official government verification for all sitters and walkers.
The company last raised a seed round of $1.4 million last year in April 2017.
GoFetch is venture-backed and has launched across Canada.
GoFetch may need to up their game even further, as this market appears to be evolving rapidly and attracting significant investment.
Their funding announcement this week comes right on the heals of a similar larger announcement on Jan 30th that SoftBank Group Corp.'s Vision Fund has agreed to invest a massive $300 million in Wag Labs Inc., a US-based startup that uses a smartphone app to connect dog walkers with dog owners, and who are attempting to build a global pet-care brand.
