Pet owners need a better handoff
I spent a decade on Rover as a sitter — I knew what I needed before walking in the door. When I got my own dog, I was still the owner scrambling: door codes, feeding notes, vet numbers, all in a text thread the night before a flight. FurPass is the structured care guide I wanted on both sides.
Not a sitter marketplace. A care handoff.
FurPass does not help you find a dog sitter. Rover, friends, and family still do that. FurPass is what you hand them once you've chosen someone.
Emergency response is the problem I care about most
When something goes wrong at 2 AM, your sitter should not be scrolling through messages looking for a vet number or guessing whether they're allowed to authorize care. FurPass puts that information one tap away — before the panic starts.
Three chapters with Anything
Built PetCard with Anything
I started with Anything — an AI app builder that outputs Expo. PetCard went from hackathon idea to a real build: forms, navigation, App Store metadata, privacy labels, TestFlight.
Recognized as an Anything expert
I pushed past the default prototype — real submission workflow, not just a demo. The Anything team noticed. The founder recognized the work as expert-level use of the platform.
Featured on Anything's homepage
PetCard landed on Anything's landing page and home page as a featured build — proof the tool could reach a shipping pipeline, even before Apple approved the app.
TestFlight worked. The App Store said no.
Apple rejected PetCard — not for crashes, but for positioning. Another pet health tracker in a saturated category. TestFlight proved the build was solid. I decided not to resubmit the same idea.
PetCard v1 — Anything and Expo, through TestFlight.
Everything your sitter needs to know

- Entry notes for sticky locks and quirks

Emergency care — the feature that matters most.
If something goes wrong, your sitter shouldn't be scrolling through texts trying to find a phone number. FurPass puts emergency information one tap away.
- 24-hour emergency hospital — tap to call, tap for directions.
- Primary vet — tap to call.
- Owner phone number — tap to call.
- Step-by-step emergency protocol — what to do, who to call, what's authorized.
Live on the App Store
FurPass is shipped — not a prototype. Owners build the guide once, share a secure link, and go on vacation without a constant stream of sitter messages.
Download FurPass.
Build your pet's care guide once — share a secure, expiring link with anyone watching them.
What's next
FurPass is live. Next is reach, proof, and clarity — what owners and sitters need at the handoff, not a clone of every Rover feature.
Distribution
Reach more dog owners. Try FurPass, see what works, fix what doesn't. Real downloads come before scale.
Pitch the handoff
Build traction, then pitch Rover and others on a handoff standard. Not walk maps or poop logs. The essentials.
B2B for caregivers
Boarding facilities, groomers, walkers, and pet hotels share the same gap. A pro dashboard follows if handoff works.
