A pet sitting product needs secure pet management, booking schedules, and stakeholder collaboration.

This template defines User, Pet, Booking, and Service with secure sharing features and access controls so teams can implement collaboration quickly.

Core P2P Pet Sitting Features

Every technology card in this hub uses the same P2P pet sitting backend schema with User, Pet, Booking, and Service.

User management

User class stores username, email, password, and roles.

Pet management

Pet class links owner, type, and breed.

Booking schedules

Booking class stores pet, sitter, and time.

Service offerings

Service class tracks service details, including name and price.

Why Build Your P2P Pet Sitting Backend with Back4app?

Back4app gives you pet, booking, and service primitives so your team can focus on engagement and transparency instead of infrastructure.

  • •Pet and booking management: Pet class with permissions and booking class for scheduling pets supports collaboration.
  • •Secure sharing and visibility features: Manage pet access with permissions and allow users to update booking schedules easily.
  • •Realtime + API flexibility: Use Live Queries for booking updates while keeping REST and GraphQL available for every client.

Build and iterate on pet sitting features quickly with one backend contract across all platforms.

Build with AI Agent

Use the Back4app AI Agent to generate a real pet sitting app from this template, including frontend, backend, auth, and pet, booking, and service flows.

Back4app AI Agent
Ready to build
Create a P2P pet sitting app backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. User (use Back4app built-in): username, email, password; objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. Pet: owner (Pointer to User, required), type (String, required), breed (String); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
3. Booking: pet (Pointer to Pet, required), sitter (Pointer to User, required), time (Date, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
4. Service: name (String, required), description (String), price (Number); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only the user can update/delete their profile. Only the owner can create/delete their pets and bookings. Use Cloud Code for validation.

Auth:
- Sign-up, login, logout.

Behavior:
- List users, register pets, create bookings, and manage services.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for user profiles, pets, bookings, and services.
