- Story Text: With a background in financial engineering and after working for a few years in the banking sector, 30-year-old Tunisian Saif El-din Sayd decided to let it all go and follow his passion for animals.
He started 'Tito's Pet Grooming', a mobile beauty and care service salon for pets. Their colourful van roams the streets of Tunis, driving from a pet to another, to provide them with personalised services.
"Tito’s Pet grooming is a mobile beauty salon. It is like others, but the difference is that we go to the customers instead of him coming to us. We park in front of their house and everything happens inside the van," Sayd said.
Tito's Pet Grooming offers pets a variety of services to improve their health and well-being, including bathing, nail trimming, haircuts and health monitoring.
Sayd said that some people didn't understand the need for his business and therefore he and his co-workers have been subject to bullying online and on the streets.
"People must understand that these animals have a need for good living conditions, just as we do. It must go out, it must eat, it needs kindness and cleanliness, and we must check their health," Sayd added.
Operating for some eight months now, Tito's Pet Grooming has already expanded. They now have six team members and added a second van, with the goal to grow bigger and reach all Tunisia.
