Who will take care of your pet if something happens to you? A sudden medical emergency at home, a fall, or an accident on the way — there are situations where you can no longer call for help or make it back in time. If you live alone, your pet may be left without care for days. "PetHomeAlone" is the safety net for you and your pet. The app ensures that help is automatically triggered — no matter where you are or what has happened. Two key protection scenarios: At home: If illness, a fall, or a medical episode leaves you unable to reach your phone. Away from home: If an accident, hospitalization, or emergency prevents you from returning to your pet. How it works: Daily check-in: Confirm once a day with a single tap that everything is okay. Smart reminders: If you miss your check-in, the app sends you multiple reminders. Automatic alert: If you still don't respond, the system immediately notifies your emergency contacts by SMS and email — so someone knows to check on you and your pet. Why PetHomeAlone? Safety for those living alone: Essential for solo pet owners. Reliable: Redundant server infrastructure ensures alerts go out even if your phone is off or has no signal. Privacy-first: No GPS tracking. Your safety is based solely on your daily confirmation. No barriers: Your emergency contacts don't need the app — they're notified by standard SMS and email. Don't rely on luck. Make sure your loyal companion is never left alone unnoticed. Install PetHomeAlone now and be prepared for the unexpected.
