It’s addictive and safe for all children. I adore this game and if you love animals you will too. I’d say “ get this game,” ### 5/5 — BEST PET GAME EVER *2026-03-28, version 1.382* This game is probably the best pet game but obviously it has a few flaws. One of them is that the game has a bit too many ads. Another one is that when the game glitches, you get either stuck with your pet unable to move, or you run out of money like 0 coins and 0 dollars. Overall I think this game is my second favorite game but my first favorite game is ✨🏇Star Stable Online🐎✨ because it is online not mobile and it doesn’t have ads.(: ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-03-26, version 1.382* I love this game, taking care of the pets is so fun, and I like how I can go in 1st person and observe the animals.👌 ### 5/5 — Brill *2026-03-22, version 1.382* Great game and as it suggests in the title it is BRILLIANT ### 5/5 — Wow!!! *2026-03-20, version 1.382* This game is so awesome don’t judge it ### 3/5 — I love it sometimes *2026-03-20, version 1.382* I love the game idea but we needed more pets and there is too many add but good and all so y’all your guys have a good day/good night ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-05-31, version 1.382* There is that many adverts and glitches don’t even have a real chance to play the game ### 1/5 — Фигня *2026-04-10* Че за фигня? Когда тебе предлагают купить ВИП ты не можешь отказаться,нажимаешь кнопку выйти и нет результата! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-03, version 1.382* You can only play for less than 5 minutes at a time before it pauses to throw an ad at you and the ads aren’t optional or to get a reward. Just to force you to buy the ad free version. The same is fun but it’s not worth the ads ### 1/5 — I’ve seen better… *2026-01-28, version 1.382* I’ve seen better games. And maybe make the person go faster And 1 more question… Why is the person blue?! Am I a blue alien or something? ### 1/5 — Game has frozen *2026-01-13, version 1.382* Downloaded this game a few days ago.

Wouldn’t trust the app again ### 1/5 — Eh *2025-07-19, version 1.368* not what it looks like and just a bunch of cleaning it is kinda cute but… I got rid of it ten minutes later ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2025-07-19, version 1.368* Honestly the game was so fun when it worked… I have extremely good internet and still my game won’t work! It will not let me wash my animals, clean their cages, for feed them! For example, I can click on a bowl to feed a dog or cat I watch them eat then the finish button shows up, I click it nothing happens! I get off and get back on ,same problem!I can’t do anything if I can’t take care of my pets I’m deleting this! 😡😠😤🙂‍↔️😖😑🙈 ### 1/5 — It’s a total rip off *2025-06-22, version 1.368* It’s a total rip off it wasn’t at all like the videos or pictures ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My game *2026-08-03, version 1.382* This game was soooooooooooooo fun ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-16, version 1.382* It’s good for like when children kids and adults so they can learn how to take care of other like cats, dogs and any of the animal you can think of just come down to animal shelter simulator so you can learn how to take care of every single and ### 5/5 — Omg greeeaatttt! *2026-06-29, version 1.382* So good! I could spend forever on this game. Although it can get annoying on how slow you are in the 1st person mode it’s amazing the graphics and everything! Such cute and different animals! I recommend this game if you love taking care of animals. Great job on this game. :3 :D :) ### 5/5 — Amazing game!🤩 *2026-06-27, version 1.382* Ok so I’ve had this game for a while now and it’s a really good game in my opinion I love playing this game on road trips because then I won’t get ads and it’s a super good game it’s just hard to make enough money and coins to upgrade the car , yall probably think I’m a bot for the title but I’m not I swear 😭, by the way god loves you and cares about you don’t forget .❤️ ### 5/5 — Quite good *2026-06-27, version 1.382* I’ve had this game since I was 8 .I love it it’s so fun I defo recommend there is a few adds but that extremely normal for a free game ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games ever!!!💕 *2026-06-23, version 1.382* This game is perfect 👌! But there’s two bugs that have been happening to me, when ever I take an animal to the surgical clinic and I finish helping then and I press finish the animal stays on the table and doesn’t get in my arms, making me have to leave and come back. The second bug is that I was washing an animal but when I pressed finish it showed the animal dirty again. But overall I love this game! ### 5/5 — this game is amazing!🤩 *2026-06-22, version 1.382* This game is amazing and fun i love animals so i love it but just make a couple more animal species so it can have more animals to it ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-06-15, version 1.382* It is so good you can get a tiger for 1.99 and it's so fun for 5-9 year olds ### 5/5 — New animals? *2026-06-12, version 1.382* I love this game, but maybe you could add new animals. This game is really fine and cute. You get to take care of animals, mostly dogs, cats and bunnies that’s all you basically get but I would love if there would be like more and more and more pads like as the years go on and like monthly you get new pets like and if you run out of the animals to think or whatever then yeah but not on purpose. This game is really fun. I have this cat named spot. She is white and she is adorable so you have to let them go and it’s hard to see them adopted but at least they have a home. It makes you sad because you’ve been with them for a while, but it was meant to be. ### 5/5 — Please add pet profiles🥺 *2026-06-09, version 1.382* Amazing game just please add a camera where you can take photos of your animals and print and scan to a computer. So you can post them on social media and have peapole adopt them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
