  1. Rover

Finding a pet sitter, dog walker, or other pet care provider just got a whole lot easier with Rover. Using this app, you can search for and book services in your area, chat with pet sitters or walkers, and even get a photo update while you’re away.

RoverGo is a handy feature of this pet services app that puts an on-demand dog walking service at your fingertips so you can request a walker to come and take your bestie bow-wow for a walk at any time.

  1. Tractive

Need to keep tabs on your pet’s location and activity in real time? The Tractive pet app works with a small GPS device that you attach to your pet’s collar. The device sends your pet’s location to your phone, so you are always up to speed.

If you’re wondering how active your pet is during the day while you’re at work, the app also tracks activity levels throughout the day and sends you exercise recommendations based on your pet’s age, breed, and weight.

  1. BarkHappy

Connect with other dog owners near you to find dog-friendly spots in your area. Within this pet services app, you’ll find a map of dog parks, pet stores, dog-friendly restaurants, and even dog-related events that you can join in on.

Bark Happy also includes a ‘lost-and-found’ feature to help you locate missing pets and reunite them with their owner.

  1. Pet Reminder

Remembering to take your own vitamins and medications can be tricky enough without having to remember your pet’s medicines. With MyPet Reminders, you can set up reminders for your pet’s medications and other health reminders to ensure you never forget.

  1. iClicker

Teaching your dog new tricks or behaviors takes time, perseverance, and the iClicker app. The pet care app uses positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors. The traditional clicker is a mainstay of dog training, and this clicker feature is just the beginning of what the app can do.

Access a library of training videos and step-by-step instructions to teach your doggo everything from basic obedience to fancy tricks that will make you the envy of every pooch at the dog park.

  1. PetDesk

In days gone by, managing your pet’s health records was done using a paper card that you had to remember to take with you to the vet. No more! With PetDesk you can keep all your pet’s records in one digital place, including reminders of appointments, medicine schedules, and more.

Better still, the app connects with your veterinarian’s office so you can get reminders for vaccinations and upcoming appointments. You’ll also have access to “Pet Experts,” a feature that provides helpful tips and advice from veterinarians and pet care experts.

  1. PetFirstAid

You never know when you may need to administer first aid to your pet or another animal. With Pet First Aid, you can access information and instructions on navigating pet emergencies.

This pet app includes step-by-step guides for common emergencies like choking, bleeding, poisoning, and even how to perform CPR. And if you need to find the nearest vet or emergency clinic, there’s a ‘vet finder’ feature to help.

  1. Chewy

Shop for your pet products using Chewy. Get everything from food, treats, and medication in one handy pet services app. For recurring purchases like food and medicine, you can set an automatic shipment, track your order, and receive notifications when it’s time for a refill.

The ‘Ask a Vet’ feature lets you contact a licensed veterinarian for advice and queries about your pet’s health and behavior.

Final thoughts

How great is it that technology is here to make your life easier and improve your pets’ lives too? With a world full of pet care apps dedicated to your pet’s health and well-being, it can be overwhelming to pick out those that can have a significant impact on your life and the life of your pets. Hopefully, this list can help you navigate the many app options out there.
