In honor of
Valentine's Day, we compiled a list of powerful tech couples.

A few years ago, Aaron Hirschhorn and his wife Karine went to visit their family on the east coast. They left their two dogs, Rocky and Rambo, in a kennel. It cost them $1,400 — more than their trip — and Rocky hid under Hirschhorn's desk for the next two days.

The pair started brainstorming better solutions and then spent 2011 turning their home into a dog-sitting hotspot. Over the course of the year, they took in 100 dogs when friends went out of town.

The result was DogVacay, a network of local dog sitters, which has raised $22 million from investors such as First Round Capital, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz.
