FIDO is a responsive system that connects dog owners to dog sitters in their area. The system emphasizes building trust and a sense of comfort between users, as well as creating a community and network for owners and sitters.

Anxiety, nervousness, sadness, and stress are but a few of the emotions dog owners experience when leaving their dog in the care of someone else. Pet owners need to trust the person entering their home, and more importantly, know that their dog is receiving a high level of care while away. FIDO addresses these needs and emotions, and aims to make users feel at ease.

Erin Haag is a 2015 graduate of The Ohio State University in Visual Communication Design. She is interested in human-centered design, which stems from her interest in both print design and user experience design. She enjoys the process of finding a problem and being able to solve it visually. With her drive, work ethic, and passion for visual storytelling, Erin is hopeful that her future career will enrich peoples lives through design.
