Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pet care that kids can actually do.
What Pet Should I Get? turns the care know-how from whatpetshouldiget.com into everyday jobs for your family or class. Add your pets, and each one gets a care plan written for kids: short steps, a reason why, and a "needs a grown-up" flag where it matters.
FOR FAMILIES
• Care plans for 50 kinds of pets, from dogs, cats and guinea pigs to geckos, axolotls and hermit crabs
• Assign a job to one kid, have kids take turns, or let anyone do it
• Reminders at job time, plus an optional "not done by bedtime" alert for grown-ups
• Steps read aloud for kids who are still learning to read
• A setup checklist and an arrival countdown while you get ready for a new pet
• Kids' tablets join with a QR code. Kids never need an email or a password.
FOR CLASSROOMS
