Meet Rajat Dembla, The Pet Parent Who Built Sniffbnb, India’s Airbnb for Pets

From struggling to find a loving home for his dogs to creating a nationwide pet care revolution.

Leaving your pets behind when you travel can be heartbreaking. For Rajat Dembla, a devoted pet parent, it was more than just an inconvenience — it was a constant worry.

“I hated the thought of my dogs being kept in cages or left alone in a strange place,” Rajat recalls. “They’re family, and they deserve to be loved just like they are at home.”

This emotional struggle, familiar to thousands of pet parents across India, sparked the idea for Sniffbnb — a platform that connects pet owners with trusted, home-based boarders offering cage-free stays.

The Problem Every Pet Parent Knows

Options were limited: overcrowded kennels that felt cold and impersonal, friends or family who weren’t always available, and online listings with no real way to verify safety or care.

The lack of a trustworthy, loving boarding alternative made Rajat think bigger. If Airbnb could make it easy to find a homestay for people, why couldn’t we do the same for pets?

From a Personal Need to a National Solution

Rajat launched Sniffbnb with a simple promise: every pet deserves a stay without cages and should never be left alone. They are raised with humans, and they should stay with humans.

Pet parents can browse verified sitters nearby, view photos and reviews, and book loving home stays in just a few clicks. The first guests were Rajat’s own pets, whose happy, relaxed experience proved the model works.

Redefining Pet Boarding in India

Sniffbnb is transforming how India cares for pets. Whether it’s a weekend trip or a long holiday, pets can now stay in safe, warm homes with people who genuinely enjoy their company.

The platform also gives animal lovers the opportunity to host pets, earn an income, and enjoy companionship — even if they can’t own a pet themselves.

A Growing Community of Care

Rajat believes the real magic of Sniffbnb lies in its people. Every sitter is handpicked and vetted, ensuring safety, compassion, and commitment to the pet’s happiness.

From overnight stays to daycare, dog walking, and grooming, Sniffbnb covers every pet care need. Each booking is built on trust, love, and a shared understanding that pets are family.

The Future of Pet Care in India

Sniffbnb’s mission is clear: no pet should ever be caged or left alone simply because their parent is away. With every new home boarder onboarded and every happy pet returned to their family, the platform is proving that pet care can be both compassionate and professional.

As Rajat puts it:
“Cherry and Kevi started this journey with me. Now, thousands of pets across India are part of the Sniffbnb family.”
