The Solution

Petflix is a marketplace connecting pet owners with media production companies searching for animal actors. Pet owners create profiles for their pets, highlighting their unique skills, tricks, and breed characteristics through photos and videos. Production companies can then search, filter, and contact pet owners directly to audition their animals for specific roles.
