Your pet can't tell you what happened while you were gone.

so we write it down as it happens

Every walk, meal and bit of company is signed by name the moment it happens, and if something is missed your phone says so that night, while you can still fix it.

Create your pet's care plan See what you get

A golden retriever resting its chin in its owner's cupped hands — the reason

A cat asleep on somebody's lap — sat with, not just fed

A dog on a walk in golden evening light — every walk, on a map

A terrier greeting its owner at the front door — what you come home to

Sample record and sample pets, invented for this page.

The note on the fridge gets skimmed. This gets signed.

While you're gone

You watch the day happen.

Every meal, walk and bit of company appears on your phone as it happens, with the time and who did it. Ask a question and get a photograph back. You are not waiting for an evening text that says everything was fine.

How you know it is true

Signed by name, at the moment it happens.

Not ticked off in a batch at the end of the day. Every task carries the name of the person who did it and the time they did it, and late is recorded as late. We record what was reported. We never claim to have verified it.

If something slips

You'll know that night, not on Sunday.

A task that goes unconfirmed past its window tells you the same evening, while you can still call somebody. You do not have to watch for it, and nothing is hidden by being fixed late.

What gets written down

Whatever your animal needs, it lands on the record.

There is nothing to set up and nothing to learn. Open the app from a plane, a meeting, or the middle of the night in another time zone, and what is happening right now is the first thing you see.

The plan, written once

Meals, walks, treats, the potty routine, where the leash lives. Your sitter opens it from a text you send. Every task is its own line with its own time.

The things only you know

Scared of thunder. Won't eat unless somebody stands there. You write it once and it appears on the task itself, not on a note that falls off the fridge.

Every walk, on a map

The route, the distance and how long it took. You can see where they went, not just that somebody said they went.

Photographs, kept

Whatever your sitter sends stays in the record instead of scrolling away in a message thread you will lose.

Medication, when there is any

Photograph the label and we read it back for you to confirm — we never invent a dosing time, and nothing is saved until you say it is right. Then every dose is its own task with its own signature, and a missed one cannot hide.

The BarkCheck Score

Every sitter has one, built from the tasks they signed and the tasks they missed across every owner they have worked for. A miss stays on it. Read it before you hand anybody your keys.

96.4

Before you hand over your keys

See how a sitter has actually done.

Not stars an owner tapped on the way out of a conversation. A number built from tasks that were signed and tasks that were missed, across every sit that sitter has ever worked, with the misses still on it.

Free for you. Always.

BarkCheck is free for pet owners. We never ask you for a card, and we never take a cut of what you pay your sitter — that money is between the two of you and never passes through us.

Sitters pay a small monthly subscription once they are past their first few sits. That is the whole business.
