What does this sweet boy and Upwork have in common? Freelance professionals, of course! K9 Carts, the original pet wheelchair manufacturer and a family-operated business for over 55 years, choose Upwork freelancers to gain new perspectives on marketing and to get help with special projects.

Glenn Parkes, family member and the company’s General Manager, told us he found Upwork via an internet search five years ago. “It was a great way to find someone with the expertise we're ...looking for at a global level,” Glenn says. “We've worked with three freelancers over the past five years from Upwork and plan on working with more in the near future.”

“Upwork increases the chance of successfully finding someone really qualified and reliable, within budget. I know when I'm looking for someone with a certain skill set I'm guaranteed to find someone on Upwork that I wouldn't be able to find locally or on our own.”

“When we wanted marketing help, we chose Mike Volkin of 800lb Marketing, an Upwork freelancer and agency owner (profile: http://bit.ly/2kUndrV). Mike helped us discover we were being taken advantage of by our SEO team, and overspending in many areas. Mike’s also shown us that our website was in critical need of changes and found us an amazing company to redo it that fits our budget. He's improved our Amazon store immensely, and helped train us how to better utilize social media.”

“We sourced Jade Pearl to handle special projects, such as our scholarship outreach and social media, and she has freed up so much of our time. Not only do we have time to work on higher level things but she does these projects better than any of us could.”

"We were in the process of launching our new website and needed help with site implementation and content creation, so we found Jean-Yves, a Top Rated full stack SEO expert (profile: http://bit.ly/2mtg3vn). Jean-Yves has been indispensable in helping to ensure our new site transition went smoothly and he is working alongside our entire web team to create and implement new SEO friendly content."

About the client: K9 Carts offer a variety of products and support for handicapped pets including custom built wheelchairs, hand-held harnesses, protective boots, nursing care products, and supplements. The Parkes family owned and operated one of the top orthopedic hospitals in the United States, making K9 Carts the only medically established company in the field. Website: www.K9Carts.com
