SAFETY FOR YOUR PET

If you miss your check-in, PawSafe alerts your chosen helpers.

Choose when you plan to be home. PawSafe reminds you beforehand. If you do not confirm your return, the app alerts the people you chose.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, one clear plan for your pet.

You choose who can help and when you will check back in. PawSafe reminds you about your plan and alerts selected helpers if your check-in is missed.

INVITE

Invite trusted helpers

Share your personal invite link. Helpers with an iPhone open it in PawSafe. Without the app, they accept on the page behind the link and get SMS and WhatsApp in an emergency with the “Extended alerts” subscription.

This invites your helpers. An alert is sent only if you miss a check-in while the timer is running.

IF YOUR CHECK-IN IS MISSED

Helpers are alerted

If your check-in is missed, PawSafe alerts the helpers you selected. They can respond and care for your pets.

You decide who receives the alert.

WHAT PAWSAFE DOES

So your pet is never left alone without anyone knowing.

Seven features that make the difference in an emergency.

PawSafe helper list: Robin is helping, the other helpers are no longer needed.

One of your helpers steps in

PawSafe asks your helpers one by one until someone says yes. Once one of them helps, the others are no longer asked, and you see every answer right away.

Reaches helpers without the app

With the “Extended alerts” subscription, PawSafe also reaches people without the app, even on basic phones. In WhatsApp they reply with one tap. Notifications in the app stay free.

Starts and ends automatically

As soon as you leave home, the timer runs, and when you get back, it ends on its own. Without location access, you start and end it with one tap.
