Built to help animals, not to get rich
Petfi exists to help pets and the people who love them. So we made a promise and put it in writing: half of all Petfi profit, and every donation dollar Petfi receives after the payment fee, go back to animals.
- Half of the fund helps membersID-verified members can ask for help with an emergency vet bill, a cremation or pet food, and the fund covers adoption fees so shelter pets find a family faster. Petfi pays the vet, crematory or store directly. Members who give are first in line.
- Half goes to shelters and animal organizationsShelters, rescues and vet offices receive the other half and decide how to use it.
- Every dollar given away is publicEach gift from the fund is listed in the app with the date and who received it, so you can watch the money leave. A member's own bill is listed by what it paid for, never by name.
We are not doing this for the money. We are doing this to help out and make a change. Every donation, along with 50% of all profit Petfi receives, goes to the Pledge Fund, and not a single penny of it goes in my pocket.
🔴 Live · raised for pets & pet owners
Help is never guaranteed: it depends on what the fund has, how serious the situation is and how many requests are waiting. Petfi is a business, not a registered charity, so gifts are not tax-deductible. Monthly gifts are made on petfi.pet.
Help every pet find its way home
A lost and found board for your whole area, free for every member. Post a lost or found pet in a minute, and the people near you start looking.
- Search near or far. Within 25, 50 or 100 miles, or your whole state. Filter by lost or found and by animal.
- Alerts when a pet goes missing near you. You choose how close, or turn them off.
- Sightings and possible matches. Members can tap "I saw them" to report a sighting, and Petfi shows found reports that could be your pet.
- A printable poster in one tap, with a QR code, ready for the corner store and the dog park.
- Works with the free QR ID tag. Switch your pet's tag to lost mode, and anyone who scans the collar sees they are missing and can message you.
🔒 Your home stays private. A report shows the town and the landmark you choose, and distances are approximate. Members message you inside Petfi; a phone number is shown only if you add one.
One app instead of ten
One free account holds you and all your pets. Post as yourself or as your pet, and keep friends, care, services and shopping under one roof.
Friends, feeds and a page for every pet
- Post as yourself or as your pet. Every pet gets its own page with a hand-drawn icon matched to its species and breed, or a real photo.
- Two feeds: Local is about 50 miles around you and unfiltered. Everyone is nationwide and family-friendly.
- React with real recorded barks and meows, plus moos, baas and clucks.
- Friends, messages and groups for breed clubs and local packs. Pets can even have their own friends and messages, if you switch it on.
- A cartoon avatar from a photo: verified members can turn a photo of their pet, or a selfie, into a cartoon avatar. It comes with the ID check.
- Mark Your Territory: stand in a park and claim it, GPS-verified, until the next dog comes along.
A free QR ID tag
Make a QR tag for the collar. Whoever finds your pet scans it with their phone camera and messages you, and your number stays private unless you add it.
Care reminders, organized
Each pet's meds, vaccines and vet visits in one place, with refill reminders and a heads-up before the food or litter runs out. Share care with family or a sitter, and send a health passport link to a new vet or boarder.
Mate Match
Find a breeding partner for your dog, cat, horse, goat, cattle, sheep, pig or chickens, nearest first. Petfi tells you when a match lists nearby. Every breeder is ID-verified, and others see your town, never your address.
Local pet services
Dog walkers, sitters, boarding, groomers, trainers, pet taxis, photographers, poop scoopers and custom pet art, from ID-verified members near you. Or offer your own.
ID-verified providersThe Pet Store
More than 500 best sellers for every kind of pet, plus products from verified members near you. Shopping through Petfi costs nothing extra and helps fund the Pledge.
ID-verified sellersSpotlight ads
Put a litter, product or service in front of pet owners near you, across your state or everywhere on Petfi. For ID-verified members and organizations.
A real, accountable person behind every listing
Anyone can join Petfi to post, make friends and use Lost & Found. But to offer anything to other members, you first have to verify your identity. That covers:
- 🦮 Pet services
- 🛒 Selling in the store
- 💘 Mate Match listings
- 📣 Spotlight ads
- 🏢 Organization accounts
- 🆘 Asking the Pledge for help
Petfi's own servers refuse a listing or an ad from an account that hasn't passed. It isn't just a button you can skip.
- A live photo of a government IDA driver's license, passport or ID card, photographed with the phone's camera on the spot. Uploading an old picture or a file is switched off.
- A live selfie, matched to the IDStripe compares the face in the selfie with the photo on the ID, and flags a selfie that looks edited.
- Stripe Identity checks the ID itselfIt looks for signs of a fake or altered document and checks that a real, physical ID was in front of the camera. The date of birth must show 18 or older.
Badges you can see
The blue check sits on everything a verified member posts, sells or lists. Their pets carry a blue paw.
What Petfi keeps
Only the result: passed or failed, and whether you're 18 or older. Your ID photos and selfie stay with Stripe, and deleting your account asks Stripe to erase them.
Accountability
Petfi keeps a record that each verification happened. If someone harms an animal or a person, or runs a scam, Petfi can remove their listings and close their account, and will cooperate with law enforcement as the law allows.
Report, block, remove
Every post, listing and profile can be reported, anonymously. Block anyone in a tap. Petfi reviews reports and can suspend or remove accounts. Repeated failed ID checks are limited too.
A sensible word: verification tells you a real, identified adult stands behind a listing. It isn't a background check, so still use your judgment: meet in a public place first, ask questions, and trust your instincts.
The ID check is a one-time $3, with the price shown before you pay. Petfi is for adults 18 and older.
The ID check screen in the app
Vets, shelters, groomers and pet stores belong here too
Organizations get their own Petfi account, and it goes live once the person who runs it passes the ID check. So the pet owners you meet here know a real, accountable business stands behind you.
- Post updates, and post as the animals in your care
- List animals you've found on Lost & Found and help them get home
- Offer services, sell products and run Spotlight ads to pet owners near you
- Help fund the Pledge, which sends half of its money to shelters and animal organizations
Good questions, straight answers
Is Petfi really free?
Yes. Joining and using Petfi is free, including Lost & Found, the QR ID tag, care reminders, the feeds, friends and groups.
A few things are optional and paid: the one-time $3 ID check (needed to sell, offer services, advertise or list in Mate Match), Spotlight ads, and gifts to the Pledge.
Do I need an Android phone or an iPhone?
Neither. Petfi runs in any web browser at petfi.pet, on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers. On Android you can also get it from Google Play. There is no App Store app yet, so iPhone users use the website.
Is my home address shown on Lost & Found?
No. A report shows the town, the landmark you type and an approximate distance, never your home address. People reach you by message inside Petfi, and a phone number appears only if you choose to add one.
How do you verify sellers and service providers?
Through Stripe Identity: a live photo of a government ID plus a live selfie that is matched to the photo on the ID, with checks for fake or altered documents and an 18+ check. Without it, Petfi's servers won't accept a listing, a service, an ad or a Mate Match post. Petfi receives only the result; the ID images stay with Stripe.
It confirms who someone is. It is not a background check, so meet in public and use your judgment.
Where does the money go?
Half of all Petfi profit, and every donation dollar Petfi receives after the payment fee, go into the Petfi Pledge fund. Half of the fund helps ID-verified members with vet bills, cremation, pet food and adoption fees; the other half goes to shelters and animal organizations. Every dollar given away is listed in the app with the date and the recipient. Help is never guaranteed, and gifts are not tax-deductible.
Who can join?
Adults 18 and older, with any kind of animal. One account holds you and all your pets, and Petfi works in English and Spanish.
