ForbesBark.com is quid pro quo meets the sharing economy. Think Airbnb, but instead of paying with money, the payment is in kind. ForbesBark.com was created out of necessity in today’s economy. Not a lot of people can travel and afford to pay a reputable dog boarding facility and/or petsitter at the same time. Especially when you have more than two pets. We don’t want to give up on traveling since ”Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer” (– Susan Sontag). But at the same time it’s so hard to leave home not knowing if your furry babies will be fine. With ForbesBark.com you no longer have to make that choice. ForbesBark.com is a free service, but there is an annual verification fee to ensure that the community pets remain safe from anyone that might harm them. The new service is open to residents of Washington, D.C. for Beta Testing and once that has been completed it will be open to users nationwide.
