A permanent mark on the record
Founding pet, with the date, on the passport and in the animal's own record. It stays if you cancel, if you move, and if you never pay us anything.

A founding pet is marked as one permanently on its passport and in its record. The mark says this pet was here first, and it does not lapse. What else a founding place carries is the opportunity to help build the platform with your feedback and special physical merch for you and your pets when we hit 100 founders.
Free for life. No renewal date and nothing to cancel. 83 of the first 100 places are open. No card needed.

The first hundred
A hundred places, and most of them still open.
Every animal that takes one is marked as a founding pet permanently. The empty numbers are not a design flourish; they are the places nobody has claimed yet.
Toph
001 · the first animal on Petworking
Beagle and Labrador retriever mix, five years old, in Toronto. Her passport was the first one made, before there was a marketplace to book through or a business to book with. Simba, a tabby in Brooklyn, is 002.
Both photographs and details published with the households' permission. Every other animal on this site is fictional.
Then one question: who does your pet trust?
After you claim the place we ask you to name the people who already look after your animal. Your vet, your groomer, the sitter who has your keys. We contact them ourselves and tell them who nominated them, because a business hears differently from a stranger than it does from a client it already has.
- Veterinarian
- Groomer
- Sitter
- Walker
- Trainer
- Daycare or boarding
- Retailer
- Rescue or shelter
- Someone else
Their name, and the town they are in
Nominating is optional and it never gates the founding place. We tell a business who put their name forward, so you are named to them; nothing is sent anonymously and nothing is sent to your contacts list.
What a founding place actually is
Marked for life
The $4.99 a month analysis, free for as long as the account exists. Records were never the paid part and never will be.
Your nominations, actually contacted
We reach out to the people you name and say who named them. If they join, the animal's history with them is already where it belongs.
Adopted from a registered rescue? That animal never counts towards the three free pets on a household, founding place or not.
