Derivation Chain

Step 2 Pet loss emotional care services
Step 3 Pet loss specialist matching platform
Step 4 Counselor scheduling & review management tool

Problem

The number of pet loss specialists (psychotherapists, animal-assisted therapists) is growing, but they are scattered across personal blogs and Naver Cafe communities, making it difficult for pet owners to find verified counselors. From the counselor's side, managing bookings, collecting reviews, and preventing no-shows requires juggling 3-4 channels (KakaoTalk, phone, DMs), consuming over 5 hours per week on administration.

Solution

A platform that aggregates pet loss specialist profiles (certifications, specializations, reviews) in one place, allowing pet owners to filter by symptoms and pet type for instant booking. For counselors, it provides automatic calendar sync, no-show prevention via prepayment, and automated review collection.

Target: Freelancer pet loss specialists (psychotherapists, animal-assisted therapists) and grief care coordinators at pet funeral service companies
Revenue Model: Counselor monthly flat rate ~$22/account (booking management + profile listing), 5% booking commission per transaction, free for pet owners
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
