Built in a house with eight pets
I am 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 and run no analytics. The eight below try every screen before it ships, and the email at the bottom reaches me.
Akila
Border collie
A non-stop worker who never sits down.
Roxie
Border collie
A show dog. Protective, and a sweetheart underneath it.
Hummus
Golden retriever
A gentle beast. Jumps on everyone and has never failed to make someone smile.
Nanook
Husky
A gentleman and a picky eater. Loves to snuggle and be treated like a king.
Lexi
Bengal
A confident cat. Wanders the backyard and loves being close to your face.
MaiMai
Bengal
A bossy girl who loves to cuddle.
Ginger
Bengal
A vocal cat who always gets attention, and a very fast eater.
Luna
Bengal
A shy little girl who always loves a head rub.
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.
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. It runs no analytics. 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 a veterinary body or a veterinary college.
Stop paying, keep the record
Stop paying and every record you saved stays readable and exportable.
The detail lives in the privacy policy, the editorial policy, and the terms of service.
If you want this for your house too
Leave your email and I will tell you when CovePet ships. If something is broken, confusing, or missing, write to hello@covepet.com. That mailbox reaches me, the person who wrote the code.
