We're building the pet care platform India deserves
Not another marketplace. A system that gives every pet a permanent, verified record of care — and gives every parent real peace of mind.
The problem we saw
In India, when you need someone to care for your pet while you travel, your options are: a kennel (cages, no transparency), a friend (unreliable), or a stranger found through a WhatsApp group (zero accountability).
There's no way to verify who's caring for your pet. No proof they actually fed them, walked them, or even checked on them. No record of what happened during the stay. Just trust — and hope.
We decided that wasn't good enough.
Our approach
Four principles that guide everything we build
Verify identity, not just email
Every host completes a thorough identity verification process — not just an email check. This isn't a checkbox. It's accountability.
Prove, don't promise
Real-time, timestamped photos from our in-app camera. You don't have to take anyone's word for it — you see proof that your pet is safe.
Homes, never kennels
Every host cares for pets in their own home. We verify home environments through required photo uploads. No cages, no exceptions.
Build a permanent record
Every stay creates structured data — meals, walks, photos, health notes. Over time, this becomes your pet's complete care history.
Who's behind Zauffy
The people building Zauffy
Osho Chawla, Founder
Osho is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience who left his job to build Zauffy full-time. The idea started with his own kitten, Zuzu, adopted at 2 months old in Bangalore.
A few months after adopting Zuzu, Osho had to travel to Goa. The options were bleak: convince friends to keep her (guilt), try a kennel (no way), or find a stranger on WhatsApp (zero accountability). He ended up convincing a friend, but the experience stuck with him. What if he could find like-minded pet parents in his own society who would keep Zuzu? Then in his area. Then across all of Bangalore.
That question became Zauffy. A platform where every host is a real person in a real home, identity-verified, with photo proof of every stay. Not a kennel. Not a stranger. Someone you can trust the way you trust a neighbour.
Today, Zauffy serves 150+ pets across Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR with 115+ verified hosts. Zuzu is doing great.
The vision
Where we're headed
Today, Zauffy is a booking platform. Tomorrow, it's your pet's complete life record — a verified, permanent timeline of every care event, across every service, for their entire life. The booking is the first use case. The pet's lifebook is the product.
WhatsApp gives you chat threads. Zauffy gives you a pet-centric timeline that aggregates across all caregivers, all service types, over your pet's entire life.
