Lots of Love Pet Care, LLC | Application Preview
Lots of Love Pet Care, LLC is seeking government grants to navigate the financial challenges posed by the pandemic. The funds will help sustain operations, as the owner has prioritized staff hours over personal salary, and is finding it increasingly difficult to meet regular expenses while ensuring staff can support themselves.
The business aims to expand its service area and introduce additional offerings such as doggy daycare and boarding once financial conditions improve. Being a woman-owned small business, Lots of Love Pet Care emphasizes its commitment to providing essential pet care services within the community, creating job opportunities, and supporting local initiatives, charities, and other small businesses.
Currently, there is limited competition in the area, with services offered by individual pet sitters on platforms like Rover.com, Care.com, and Wag!. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its insurance and bonding, along with certifications in pet CPR/First Aid for all staff members. Membership in Pet Sitters International and participation in ongoing education further enhance their expertise. Lots of Love Pet Care prides itself on delivering professional, reliable, and compassionate services, ensuring that pets receive quality care.

Funding Usage
We are very slow due to the pandemic. I have given my staff all of the hours in an attempt to keep them, I have not been able to pay myself my normal salary. We are getting to a point where paying our regular expenses is becoming difficult, and my staff do not have enough hours to support themselves.
-
Business Plan
I plan to expand my service area once I have the ability. I also would like to add more services such as a doggy daycare and boarding facility, which I am not able to do anytime soon due to finances and the pandemic. I am a woman-owned small business providing much needed services to our community. I love providing quality pet care to my clients, and they have peace of mind that their pets are well cared for. I am creating jobs within our community, and career options that were not present before. I love to support my community and give back to other small businesses as well as donate to non profits or sponsor events for charities.

Self Identified Competition
I am not aware of another pet sitting business in the area, but there are individuals pet sitting through the Rover.com, Care.com and Wag! platforms. My company is insured and bonded, each staff member and myself are pet CPR/First Aid certified. We are a member of Pet Sitters International and take online classes for continuing education so we are always improving our skill set. We provide a professional service and offer reliability, compassion and quality care for our clients.
