LeisureEase, LLC was founded by two pet-loving sisters, Lisa Beaty Bishop and Carla Beaty Collette. Their flagship product, Wrapsit™ slipcover crate, was developed to accommodate Lisa’s anti-social Shih Tzu, Pelé, who would often get nervous while attending her daughter’s soccer games and would end up tangled beneath her chair. She toyed with the idea of a crate, but it would be just one more thing to carry - and it seemed she already dragged half the house to the games!
Because he looked like a black and white ball, Pelé, the inspiration for Wrapsit, was named after Brazilian professional footballer, Pelé.
One day, while working on another project, Lisa noticed the frame of an open camp chair on the deck. In her mind’s eye, the large cubical beneath the seat of the chair - where Pelé was always tangled and felt safe - suddenly became a soft crate hideaway. The daughter of a designer/seamstress, she immediately went to work covering the space in tough, durable materials, including heavy pet-mesh walls and coated waterproof flooring.
Many prototypes, and a few years later, the concept was granted the first patent... and then the second. In 2009, Lisa and Carla formed LeisureEase, LLC. The team immediately began development of a more simplified product for the manufacturing process. They received their third patent and began the arduous task of finding a manufacturer. After first receiving units that were of shoddy materials and workmanship, the team located a company they trusted to source a quality, professional product - a product the sisters could be proud to sell.
Wrapsit slipcover crate was born! A comfortable and dry safe-haven for your small pet or storage for your belongings – anytime, anywhere. Under your seat - not under your feet.
