Built in a house with eight pets

I’m one developer with four dogs and four cats. CovePet* is the record I needed for the short conversation in the exam room, when the vet asks what changed and you are trying to remember eight weeks at once.

I have no investors, the app runs no analytics, and the site counts page views without cookies. Every screen is tested on these eight before it ships, and the email at the bottom reaches me.

They are my life and my family. I want the best for them, and that starts with knowing what changed before the vet asks.

Why I built it

With eight animals, something is always a little off. One of the cats eats less for two days. One of the dogs starts shaking his head after walks. A pill changes and nobody writes down when. Then the vet asks “since when?” and I am guessing in the exam room.

Pen and paper did not last, and memory was worse. I tried the trackers that already existed, and none of them stuck.

  • Too gamified

    Streaks, badges, and points for feeding the dog. I wanted a record I could hand to a vet.

  • Too basic

    A weight field and a vaccination date. Fine until the thing you need to write down is that the head shaking started on Tuesday.

  • Too complex

    Hygiene schedules, meal plans, expense reports, appointment booking. Machinery I would never keep current, wrapped around the one feature I actually needed.

So I built the one I wanted. You write what you noticed, CovePet keeps the date, and the relevant details become one page for the vet. I use it for these eight every week, and what does not work for them does not ship.

What CovePet will not do

These commitments cover veterinary advice, advertising, public claims, and access to saved records. Each one is written into a policy you can read.

The detail lives in the privacy policy, the editorial policy, and the terms of service.

  • It will not tell you what is wrong

    What you noticed goes to your veterinary team, dated and whole. The care decisions are theirs.

  • Your notes are not for sale

    CovePet does not sell your pet health information or use private health notes for advertising. The app runs no analytics. The site counts page views without cookies. A subscription is the only income.

  • No fabricated proof

    No invented authors, no made-up customer stories, no testimonials I did not receive, no user counts I cannot prove. Where a guide makes a health claim, it cites its source, such as a veterinary body, college, clinic, or government agency.

  • Stop paying, keep the record

    Stop paying and every record you saved stays readable and exportable.
