Online community for dog boarding launched in Sweden

The online community marketplace Tasspass was launched earlier this month. Using tasspass.se, dog owners can book dog boarding services from local hosts in Sweden. Services offered include dog walking, daytime and over-night boarding, as well as related dog services.

Tasspass has only been live for a few days, but has already captured the interest of both professional dog boarders and other dog lovers that want to market their services to Swedish dog owners. Hosts register for free and pay a commission for bookings to Tasspass (tass and pass is a linguistic blend of the Swedish words for paw and boarding). Tasspass aims to cover dog boarding hosts nationwide later this year.

- We have launched Tasspass to help local dog boarding professionals market their services and to facilitate online booking, says Lena Thörn, boarding kennel owner and co-founder of Tasspass. We have also received interest from dog lovers that wish to board dogs from time to time, which can be a good way to get started into this business. We hope that more dog owners will explore the benefits of dog boarding.

Dog owners can book dog boarding and the most common related services, such as grooming, training and more. Booking and payment is made online through a secure payment gateway.

- Dog boarding has traditionally been a fragmented sector, one that could really benefit from an online marketplace. We have created a simple way for dog owners and dog boarders to connect, says Peter Wieslander, CEO Tasspass AB.
