ZeroPets — the pet care app that fits on your lock screen. ZeroPets gives every pet a permanent home in Apple Wallet. Vaccinations, sitter handoffs, travel paperwork, and a Lost Pet pass — always one swipe away, no logging in. Built for the worst moment. Mark your pet missing and their Lost Pet pass instantly flips on every iPhone you've shared it with. A Live Activity pins their status to your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Apple Watch support is included so you can flip them back to "safe" the moment they're home. A wallet that keeps itself current. Add a pet once and ZeroPets updates their passes when something changes — a new vaccine, a vet visit, a sitter weekend, a trip out of state. You don't re-print, re-email, or re-type. Recovery that doesn't require an app. A finder can scan the QR on your pet's pass, drop a sighting on the map, and message you — without making an account. Opt into the anonymous ZeroPets Network and nearby ZeroPets users can chime in when they spot your pet. The network is designed to be light on battery and you can turn it off at any time from Account. Health you can actually use. Upload a vet PDF and ZeroPets extracts the vaccines, weights, and dates that matter. Get a wellness plan tuned to your pet's breed and age. Snap a photo of a food label to check it's safe. Prep for your next vet visit without scrambling. Built with verified rescues. ZeroPets partners with IRS 501(c)(3) verified animal rescues. When a rescue uses ZeroPets, the adopter gets a Welcome Kit on day one with the new pet's basic profile and an Apple Wallet pass already prepared — so the first day home isn't a setup chore. Free for pet parents. No subscription is required to use any of the above. If you already own a Tractive GPS collar, you can optionally connect it for live position fixes on the Lost Pet pass. Privacy. Your pet's profile is yours. The anonymous network is opt-in and revokable from Account at any time. We do not sell your personal data. Made for the people who would do anything for their dog or cat. Questions or feedback: ZeroPets@Outlook.com
