Backstory
Why We Started CareGuide"I was a new entrant into the 'sandwich generation’… all in the same year, I became a father, a homeowner, and a son to an ill father. Our household, and my mom Kathy, quickly had a lot of care-related needs.
I found out first-hand that the existing mechanisms for hiring local care services—asking around, posting on classified websites, and using job boards—all worked poorly. The ideal mechanism was clear. What I needed was easy to find and purpose-built meeting places, where I could quickly and safely meet care providers in our neighbourhood.
With the support of entrepreneur Jesse Rasch and his investment company Hedgewood, we formed CareGuide with a one-of-a-kind domain name portfolio, including Sitter.com Housekeeper.com, PetSitter.com, ElderCare.com, HouseSitter.com, and others. From there we have grown this family of marketplace websites into the thriving communities that you see today."
