Tailz

tailZ is a B2C pet-care startup founded in 2021 by Ravi Sharma and Priya Malhotra, based in Bengaluru. It began with a personal mission: give dogs an experience like home when their owners can’t be around. Today, tailZ offers boarding, day-care, walking services, nutrition advice, online vet consultations, and training—all through a single app where pet parents can browse verified caregivers nearby. What sets tailZ apart is its trusted network of sitters. Every caregiver is vetted and trained, and pet parents can even meet them before booking. Their 24/7 support team is also a big hit—ready to help with any last-minute changes or pet emergencies. tailZ isn’t just about convenience; it’s about peace of mind. Although the exact numbers remain private, tailZ has received early-stage backing from Seed Spark (Stanford) and StrongHer Ventures as part of their W2022 cohort. They’ve been finalists in programs like Stanford’s Seed Spark and have received mentorship support from Arise Accelerator, which has boosted their tech and operations. Founders mention the funds are being used to grow into cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, develop their tech stack, and maintain quality control across sitters. According to Tracxn, their last seed round was held on February 9, 2024, but their funding amount is undisclosed. Looking ahead, tailZ shows promise. It’s focused on building strong tech-enabled vetting systems, expanding its presence in metro cities, and turning pet care into a reliable, scalable service. With its app-based model and growth plans, tailZ could reshape care for urban dogs.
