Share the pet, not your account
Invite a partner, a dog walker or a kennel by email as a co-owner or a caretaker. A sitter’s doses land in your log; the low-stock alert still goes to whoever has to reorder.

Everything about your pet.
One command center.
Walks, health, medication, photos, paperwork and what it all costs — for every animal in the house, in one place. PetPilot records the walk while your phone is in your pocket and turns a forwarded vet bill into a filed document, so the record is largely written before you touch it.

Auto-tracking
Walks that record themselves
Clip a Bluetooth tag on the collar and walk out of the door. PetPilot notices a couple of minutes in, draws the route, and saves the walk when you get home. Phone locked. App closed.
- Nothing is ever auto-started inside a place you saved — no phantom walks around the kitchen.
- Car journeys are ignored, and a lift home never gets counted as a walk.
- Every route starts at your front door, not wherever GPS happened to catch up with you.
Detector
Four things have to be true at once.
- 1The tag is on the collarA Bluetooth tag paired to that pet. No tag in range, no walk — ever.
- 2You left a trusted placeLeaving a place you saved is the trigger. Nothing arms while you are still home.
- 3It looks like walkingA real, sustained walking pace — the phone itself can tell, without leaning on GPS.
- 4You're not in a carCar journeys are ignored, and a lift home never lands in the middle of a walk.
RecordingRoute, distance, time and pace — phone locked, app closed. It saves itself when you get home.
Walks
The route, the pace, the eight-week trend
Every walk gets a map, a distance, a time and a pace — and a history that adds up to something. Bad GPS is cleaned up before it can inflate a kilometre, so the numbers are ones you can trust.
- A seven-day bar chart on the home screen, an eight-week trend on the pet.
- Two people walking the same dog? Switch between All dog walks and My walks.
- History collapses into month and year accordions once it gets long.
Health
One screen holds the whole medical life
Medicine, treatments, routine care and — for female pets — the cycle, per pet, behind four tabs. Log a vaccination with the clinic that gave it, a nail trim in a single tap, or a heat date the app then counts days from.
- Presets for vaccination, deworming, flea & tick, vet check-up, dental cleaning and surgery.
- Weight lives on the pet page as a chart with a real trend line and a delta since the last weigh-in.
- Everything a caretaker logs while you’re away lands in the same record.
Medication log
A medicine cabinet that remembers
Daily, chosen weekdays, a day of the month, every 2, 3, 6 or 12 months, or purely as-needed. Every scheduled time gets its own toggle — and un-toggling one deletes that dose and refunds the units to your remaining stock.
- A skipped dose is recorded as skipped, not as an absence, and it shows up in the export.
- Low stock raises an amber “Running low” badge and a message to whoever has to reorder.
- The whole dose history exports as CSV to the share sheet — the format a vet can open.
PetVision
Find every photo of them, on the phone
PetPilot sweeps your camera roll a thousand photos at a time, newest first, with matches appearing live as they’re found. The machine-learning models already on your phone do the heavy lifting, matching against your pet’s own profile photo.
- In a multi-pet house the other pets act as negatives, so the wrong dog stays out of the album.
- Look-alikes are grouped — “8 photos that look alike” with one button to accept the lot.
- A match costs zero upload and zero storage: the album row points at your own camera roll.
Expenses & inbox
Forward the vet bill. That’s the whole job.
Every account gets its own PetPilot email address. Send a bill to it and the vendor, total, currency and date come back out — filed as a document on the pet and a row in Expenses, with a twelve-month chart on top.
- The amount is read straight off the bill — never guessed, never rounded.
- Different currencies are never silently summed; the odd ones out get listed separately.
- Opening an email tells the sender nothing — nothing is loaded from their servers.
Documents
Passport and policy, behind Face ID
Insurance, passport, invoices and everything else, per pet, behind the phone’s own biometric lock. The real document scanner does edge detection, multi-page capture and deskew; uploaded PDFs land in the same pinch-zoom viewer.
- A PDF sitting in your inbox files itself into a pet’s documents — no download-and-re-upload dance.
- Owners add and delete. People you shared the pet with can read, and only read.
- Nothing here sits behind a shareable link — every page is served to you and nobody else.
And the rest of the day
The admin nobody signed up for
Sharing, border paperwork, appointments and the nearest open clinic.
Sweden’s customs form, filed for you
Sweden wants a declaration every time a dog or cat crosses the border. Pick the pets, the date and the crossing, answer Tullverket’s one control question, and get the official number back — readable offline at the barrier.
Appointments that actually ring
A month grid with a dot per pet — blue for dogs, amber for cats — and reminders that fire as real phone notifications from “at the time” out to two days before.
The nearest vet, sorted by distance
A map of Danish vet clinics with address, phone, opening hours, website and the distance in kilometres. Tap through to call or navigate.
How it works
Three things to do. Once.
- 01
Add the pet
Name, species, breed, birthday, microchip and EU passport number, plus a photo you crop in the app. Two minutes, once.
- 02
Clip on the tag, save “Home”
Pair a Bluetooth tag from Walk settings and drop a trusted place on your address. That pairing is what wakes walk detection — and what keeps GPS off while you are home.
- 03
Let the record fill itself
Walks arrive on their own. Forwarded vet bills become expenses and filed documents. Doses tick off from the notification. You show up for the parts that need a human.
Privacy
Precisely what runs where
Most pet apps say “your data is safe”. Here is the actual split — the line matters most for the one feature that touches your camera roll.
On your device, always
- Finding photos of your pet. The machine-learning models already on your phone do the heavy lifting. Spotting the animal, judging whether it's yours, grouping the look-alikes — all of it happens on the handset.
- What's been scanned, and what you thought of it. The index of your camera roll and every thumbs-up or thumbs-down you give a match stay on the phone.
- AI photo matches. Kept as pointers into your own camera roll. No upload, no cloud copy.
- Noticing the walk. Detecting and recording happen on the phone; only the finished walk is sent.
- Biometric sign-in. Handled by your phone's own secure hardware, never by the app.
In the cloud, only with your yes
- The photo cloud double-check. The first scan asks once — on-device only or allow cloud check. With it on, a handful of borderline shots get a second opinion. With it off, no photo ever leaves the device. Revocable from the album at any time.
- Reference photos for a shared pet. Only with the cloud check on, a handful of clear photos are shared so a co-owner’s scan recognises the same animal. It is the only thing that ever crosses between accounts — the rest of your album is yours alone.
- Things you sent us anyway. Reading a vet bill you forwarded, writing your weekly care tip, and finding a microchip number inside a document you uploaded.
- No shareable links. Photos and documents aren't sitting behind a URL that anyone with the address could open. Every page is served to you, and to nobody else.
- Nothing is asked for speculatively. Location for walks, Bluetooth for the tag, motion to notice a walk, camera for photos, Face ID for the vault — each one at the moment it's needed. Signing out stops the phone sensing anything at all.
Details
The small things it also does
Adherence at a glance
How reliably each medicine actually got given over the last fortnight — worked out fairly, so a quarterly injection isn’t judged like a twice-daily tablet.
Give or snooze from the banner
Dose reminders carry “Mark given” and “Snooze 15 min” on the notification itself.
Scan the box, skip the typing
Scan the barcode on a box you’ve used before and the whole schedule pre-fills. Photograph the packaging and it reads the brand name straight off it.
Navigate back to the start
Walking directions to where the walk began, with a dashed guide line and turn instructions on the live map.
A dead zone doesn’t lose the walk
No signal, no problem. The walk waits on your phone and uploads itself the moment you’re back — once, never twice.
Weight, with the trend drawn in
A clean chart of every weigh-in with the trend line through it, and how much they’ve gained or lost since the last one.
Your own PetPilot address
A permanent inbox address you can forward or CC bills, booking confirmations and clinic mail to.
Biometric app lock
Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode over the whole app — and it never kills a walk recording that’s in progress.
Weekly care tips
One short, pet-specific tip a week, rotated across a dozen topics and archived to your inbox.
One record, every screen
The same account on iPhone, Android and app.petpilot.io. Same screens, same data, no “web version” compromises.
Export for the vet
The whole dose history exports as a spreadsheet — every date, time, medicine, dose and whether it was given — straight to the share sheet.
Dogs and cats, side by side
The app knows the difference: a cycle log for female pets, the right care presets, and cats given their own colour throughout.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does PetPilot upload my camera roll to find photos of my pet?
No. The matching happens on your phone, against your pet’s profile photo, using the machine-learning models your phone already has. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly turn on the cloud double-check, which sends only a handful of borderline shots for a second opinion. With it off, no photo ever leaves the device — and you can switch it back off from the album at any time.
Do I need a Bluetooth tag for automatic walk tracking?
Yes. The tag is a hard requirement: if it isn’t in range, no walk is auto-recorded, ever. That’s deliberate — it’s what keeps GPS off while you’re at home and stops the app inventing walks you didn’t take. For detection with the app fully closed, the tag also needs to broadcast an iBeacon UUID, which you enter in Walk settings.
Does it record with the phone locked and the app closed?
On iPhone and Android, yes — provided the tag is one that broadcasts a beacon signal (you enter its ID once in Walk settings). Detection runs down at the operating-system level rather than inside the app, so a locked screen, a closed app, or even the phone reclaiming memory won’t stop a walk mid-way. With a tag that doesn’t broadcast, detection is only reliable while the app is open. In a browser it runs only while the tab is open.
What can a dog walker I share a pet with actually see?
A caretaker sees the profile, weights, walks, medications and dose history, the treatment and care logs, and documents — and can log walks, doses and health events for you. They cannot change documents, the tag, or any owner setting, and they don’t get the pet’s photo album or your calendar. Co-owners get full parity with you, except that only the pet’s creator can delete it.
Which countries does the travel declaration cover?
Sweden only. PetPilot files the Tullverket customs declaration required every time you bring a dog or cat across the Swedish border, and gives you back the official declaration number — which stays readable offline at the crossing. No other country’s paperwork is in the app today.
Where does the vet clinic map have data?
Denmark. The clinic list was imported from OpenStreetMap, sorted nearest-first with address, phone, opening hours and website. Outside Denmark you’ll see “No clinics nearby”.
What happens to my other devices if I change my password?
Every one of them is signed out immediately — including any device where biometric sign-in was enabled — while the device you changed it on stays signed in. Biometric sign-in counts as the password, so it can’t outlive the password it was set up for.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. The medication and dose log exports as a spreadsheet straight from the Health screen, and anything you’ve added — pets, walks, weights, documents, expenses — you can edit or delete yourself at any time. For a full export of everything at once, or to have the account and its files deleted outright, mail hello@petpilot.io.
Start with one pet and a photo.
