Pet Shepherd is a calm, caring way to keep track of your pet's day — meals, water, bathroom and litter breaks, medications, and the little reminders that keep everyone on the same page. WHAT IT DOES • See at a glance which pet needs you right now, and for what • Log meals, water refills, and bathroom/litter breaks in one tap • Set reminders so nothing gets missed, even on a busy day • Track medications and doses on their own schedule • Share a household "pack" with family, roommates, or a pet sitter, so everyone sees the same up-to-date picture • Get a calm, batched notification instead of a flood of pings BUILT FOR MULTI-PERSON HOUSEHOLDS Add the people who help care for your pet, and Pet Shepherd keeps everyone's logging in sync — no more "did anyone feed her yet?" text threads. Every entry shows who logged it and when. DESIGNED TO FEEL LIKE APPLE, NOT LIKE A SPREADSHEET Pet Shepherd is built with the same warmth and restraint you'd expect from Apple Health or Apple Journal — no clutter, no ads, no gimmicks. Just a clear answer to "what does my pet need right now?" PRIVACY Your pet's information is yours. Pet Shepherd only collects what it needs to run the app — see our privacy policy for details.
