Mission Statement: “Our
mission is to provide the safest and most loving environment for your pet while
you are away. We strive to offer the most personalized, convenient, and cost
effective approach to pet boarding for our clients. For our sitters, we strive
to provide them with the right tools so they can conduct their business in a
professional and efficient manner.”
Vision
Statement:
With Pet Sit n Stay, your animals are
in good paws.
Elevator
Pitch:
Project Mayhem will work with Pet Sit n
Stay in developing a user-friendly interface that will allow customers/sitters
alike to find exactly what they are looking for. Promoted sitters will be
visible to customers from the get-go, sitters and customers will be able to
interact before boarding in order to work out a deal that is ideal for both
parties, and users will be able to sign-up with Facebook in order to network in
a more efficient fashion.
Business
value:
Project Mayhem has the potential to increase Pet Sit n Stay’s productivity by
20%.
Customers
and Users:
The customers will be the users looking
for sitters, and the users will be the customers and sitters alike.
