VetMate is the pet sidekick I always wanted, so I built it. It’s a solo‑dev, after‑hours side project made to help fellow pet parents keep everything in one place without the noise. Track vet visits, vaccines, meds, grooming, walks, and anything else with custom event types and smart reminders (including recurring ones). Keep a clean timeline per pet, add photos, and get quick health alerts so you don’t miss what matters. There’s also an expenses tracker with monthly totals and category breakdowns, plus a fast‑access vet contacts list with call, email, and directions. Highlights: - Beautiful pet profiles with photo gallery and notes - Agenda view for upcoming and past events - Reminders + recurring schedules - Health alerts for important items like vaccines - Expense tracking with monthly insights - Vet contacts with quick actions Built with love, kept simple on purpose. If it helps you take better care of your pets, that’s the whole point. Privacy policy: https://mitheor.github.io/#en
