Have you ever wondered who would care for your pet if you had an accident? What if you were rushed to hospital? Would someone care for them the way you do? What if one day you didn't come home? TheyWait is the pet-first app that helps you prepare for it: in seconds, we notify the trusted people you choose so they can care for your pets. Your plan. Your network. Your pet cared for. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your pets: food, routines, vet info, everything that matters. 2. Choose who would care for them if you couldn't: one or more Caregivers. 3. If you want, add an Executor: the first person we notify, who coordinates with the rest. 4. If something happens to you, trigger the alert with one tap. NO APP NEEDED FOR THEM Your Caregivers don't need the app. They receive an email with everything they need to know (food, medication, allergies, vet, how to get into your home) and accept with a single tap. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE Clear and simple, including for older adults or anyone less familiar with technology. No jargon, no complications. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Portuguese. COMPLETE PET GUIDE Generate a PDF care manual with all your pet's information, to print, share, or take with you.
