Mother and Daughter Entrepreneurs: Angela Fagan and Sinead Fitzsimons Launch Trust My Pet Sitter – The Pet Care App

Mother and Daughter Founders Angela and Sinead created Trust My Pet Sitter after struggling to find suitable care for their pets when traveling.

They tried sending the dogs to a dog boarder, being looked after in someone else's house, but that just left them unsettled. Royal Navy Veteran Angela said, "Our Cats had someone come in to feed them, but they got lonely after a few days and were very grumpy on our return!"

Weak Supply Chain Could Slow New Car Production in the UK
