Have you ever used a dating app just for single pet lovers? Sheryl Matthys came up with the idea for what is now a dog lovers dating app called FetchaDate when she got her first Greyhound while living in New York City. She discovered the power of having a great WingPet™ to make the introduction to potential new friends.
Since then she’s hosted events, written a book, launched a website and an app for the Google Play and Apple App Store. With so many great experiences to pull from, Sheryl and I talk about everything from Covid dating and dog-friendly date ideas to trademarks and website hosting!
This is why I love talking to other women in the pet industry! Even if we’re talking about business and tech issues, we know that we’re all pet lovers at the core. And somehow that means we just get each other! Do you know someone like that who would be a great guest on my show? Send me an email with your guest suggestion!
