Calling All Dogs & Cats

What Calling All Dogs & Cats does

Calling All Dogs & Cats is a privately held Florida pet care services company founded in 2004 and headquartered in St. Petersburg. It delivers in-home dog walking, pet sitting, overnight stays, doggy sleepovers (in sitter's home), puppy visits, pet taxi, and tiered vacation packages to individual pet owners across nine territories in Pinellas County, Tampa, and Orlando. Services are sold on a per-visit or per-night unit-pricing model with volume discounts at 15+ visits per month and holiday surcharges, ranging from $18 for a 15-minute walk in Pinellas to $150 for a 14-hour overnight in Tampa.

The company operates a territory/franchise ownership model in which local entrepreneurs run individual territories under the Calling All Dogs & Cats brand, while a small corporate team (1-10 employees) provides shared infrastructure and brand support. The proprietary technology layer is a custom pet sitting software platform accessible via iOS and Android apps, providing GPS-tracked and time-stamped visits, pet care journals with photos, direct sitter-to-client messaging, online scheduling and invoicing, a live sitter map for management, and automated late-arrival alerts. No AI/ML, public API, or third-party integrations are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through usage-based service fees and franchise/territory licensing. The company has raised no outside funding, has no enterprise customers, and relies on community-based marketing (local Facebook/Instagram handles per territory, Google reviews, referral credits, and rescue fundraising) rather than paid acquisition. The holding entity identified in the site footer is SBLB Enterprises, Inc.

Broad incumbents

• Rover: Rover is the largest online marketplace for pet sitting, dog walking, and boarding services, connecting pet owners with independent sitters nationwide. It is the most direct national competitor to Calling All Dogs & Cats' core service offering, though it operates as a marketplace rather than a managed service provider.
• Wag!: Wag! is a tech-enabled pet care platform offering on-demand dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding services across major US cities. It competes directly with Calling All Dogs & Cats in dog walking and pet sitting, but at significantly larger scale with a national app-based marketplace model.

• Dogtopia: Dogtopia operates a franchise network of dog daycare, boarding, and spa facilities across North America. While focused on facility-based daycare rather than in-home pet sitting, it competes for the same discretionary pet care spend and represents a comparable franchise-led growth model.
• PetSmart PetsHotel: PetSmart's PetsHotel and Doggie Day Camp offer boarding and daycare at PetSmart retail locations nationwide. It competes with Calling All Dogs & Cats' Doggy Sleepovers service and represents a broader-incumbent alternative to in-home pet care.
