Project description:
"Project: Native mobile app (Android + iOS) for on-demand dog walkers (similar to inDriver) + web admin panel.

Description:
We need a developer or small team to build a marketplace that connects dog owners with nearby dog walkers on-demand. The owner posts a request and walkers bid their price (inDriver-style). The owner selects based on price, distance/ETA, ratings, and reviews.
The app must be native Android + iOS to ensure background geolocation, push notifications, and camera usage for validations.

Core Features (MVP):

Registration and profiles (owner, walker, dogs) with basic KYC verification.

Post a walk request → nearby walkers send bids → owner selects.

Real-time map tracking with background location updates.

Limit of 3 dogs per walk (system blocks new requests if walker has 3 already).

Alerts: walk started, 5 minutes before ending, and geofencing if walker leaves the allowed area.

Facial recognition:

Walker must verify face to start walk.

Owner must verify face when handing over/picking up the dogs.

Payments:

Credit/debit card (owner registers card in app, automatic charge).

Yape/Plin wallets (optional): if selected, walker confirms receipt inside the app.

Calendar availability: walkers can set available time slots (e.g., “today I’m free 3 hours”) so owners can either book immediately or schedule in advance.

Transport mode selector: when walker goes online, they must indicate how they’re moving (on foot, bike, motorbike, car). The app uses this to estimate arrival time (ETA) for owners.

Ratings and reviews (two-way).

Admin web panel: user management, KYC, walks, commissions, and support.

(Phase 2) Integration with GPS dog collar / anti-tampering system via API.

Suggested Stack:

Mobile: React Native (Expo + native modules for background location, camera, push).

Maps/geo: Google Maps SDK or Mapbox + geofencing, ETA calculation based on transport mode.

Push: Firebase Cloud Messaging + APNs.

Backend: NestJS (Node TS) + WebSockets for real-time.

Database: PostgreSQL.

Infra: AWS/Render (backend), Vercel (admin panel).

Biometrics/face liveness: integration with provider (Onfido/FaceTec/AWS Rekognition) or basic in-app validation.

Deliverables:

Figma UI (~20–25 screens).

Native apps: Android (.aab) + iOS (TestFlight build).

Web admin panel.

Functional MVP in ~10 weeks.

Documentation + handover (code repo, accesses, deployment guide).

Milestones (granular):

10% → Kickoff + wireframes.

15% → Final UI in Figma.

20% → Users/profiles + KYC module.

20% → Requests + bidding flow.

20% → Maps + background location + payments + availability calendar + transport selector.

10% → Go-live (Play Store/TestFlight) + handover.

Freelancer Profile:

Strong React Native experience (background location, push, camera).

Experience with real-time apps (WebSockets, ETA calculations).

Payment integrations (Stripe/Braintree for cards; Yape/Plin is a plus).

Security best practices (OWASP)." (client-provided description)
