 PROBLEM FORMULATION

Problem Statement :
The aim of FurrBuddy is to provide a user-friendly Android application that seamlessly connects pet owners
with trusted pet sitters, ensuring the well-being of pets when their owners are away, and fostering a vibrant and
secure pet care community.

Scope :
The scope of FurrBuddy encompasses multiple facets, including robust data collection and management
practices to maintain user and pet information securely. It involves the development of sophisticated
matchmaking algorithms for efficient pet-sitter pairings and real-time communication, all within a user-friendly
Android application. The project also places emphasis on a scalable deployment strategy, ensuring adaptability
to various regions and facilitating community growth through integrated features. Moreover, a commitment to
ongoing iterative improvements and stringent privacy and security measures ensures that FurrBuddy is well-
positioned to create a safe and dynamic space for pet owners and sitters alike.
 WORK TILL DATE
FurrBuddy, an innovative Android application, redefines pet care by seamlessly connecting pet owners with
trusted pet sitters in their vicinity. Pet lovers can now manually enter their location and discover caring
individuals ready to look after their beloved pets. What sets FurrBuddy apart is the ability for pet owners to
view detailed profiles of pet sitters, featuring essential information and reviews, enabling them to make
informed choices when selecting a caregiver. This app isn't just a service; it's a dynamic community of pet
enthusiasts, fostering connections, knowledge-sharing, and, most importantly, ensuring that every furry,
feathered, or scaled friend receives the attention and care they deserve, even in the absence of their owners.
FurrBuddy is the ultimate solution for pet lovers seeking peace of mind and a strong, caring network

Up to this point, several key milestones have been achieved in the development of our pet sitter app. We've
successfully implemented a user-friendly login and signup process, providing users with a seamless onboarding
experience. Furthermore, a logout option has been incorporated, enhancing user control. The addition of a
navigation bar featuring dedicated sections for "About Pets" and "Dog School" serves as a valuable
enhancement to the app's functionality. Additionally, substantial progress has been made in defining the app's
UI and UX, as well as establishing a coherent theme. Language choices have been solidified, contributing to a
cohesive user experience. These accomplishments lay a strong foundation for the continued development and
improvement of the application.
