A simple check-in helps make sure someone can step in for your pets if you can't.
If you are hurt, unwell, or simply cannot get home, the people who care about you may not find out for hours. Your pets are waiting the whole time. Woof exists for that gap.
HOW IT WORKS
Woof asks you to check in on a schedule you choose. Check in, and nothing happens. Miss one, and Woof starts trying to reach you. If you still have not answered, Woof contacts your Safety Network — the people you nominated, in the order you chose, with what they need to know to get to your pets.
You decide the schedule, the people, and the order. The countdown lives on Woof's servers rather than on your phone, so it keeps running if your phone is off, lost, or out of battery.
Woof never contacts emergency services on its own, and never requests a wellness check on its own. Reaching the people you chose is what the app does. Anything beyond that is a decision a person makes, never software.

ABOUT WOOF
Woof is made by pet owners who kept having the same thought: if something happened to me today, how long before somebody realised the animals at home needed feeding? Everything in the app is built around answering that honestly rather than reassuringly.
Available in the United States.
Questions: woofhelp.com/support
As a senior citizen with no family, this might be a pet lifesaver. I agree with the Sharks though, that the name and dog icon doesn’t work. More people in the US have cats than dogs and many have other types of pets (fish, birds, gerbils, etc) so I really hope you make changes. What about “Ark” which was a safe place for animals?
Promising App but failed in the end
Vette expert
The concept was great- protect your pets if something happens to you. Unfortunately the app developer just couldn’t make it work quite right. The timer would recognize that we left our residence but never stop and reset upon return. This resulted in notices of concern from WOOF almost going to the wellness check stage if you didn’t manually shut it down. I worked with Arsy directly over months to try and resolve the issue but to no avail. I tried several phones to eliminate the problem but it was the same result. I am unaware of any other product that will perform this vital task. It was a perfect solution to this nagging concern for our pets but it failed in the end. Please Arsy, get it together.
Doesn’t recognize real world of work from home
STReviewerSD
I thought this looked great after shark tank and thought sharks were crazy to pass up. Bought it and then realized it won’t work for me because I work from home so leaving my home for a short walk won’t reset time and will give false trigger. Somedays I don’t leave home which would set off trigger. Too much to manage. It should be based on phone activity and not gps. If I open up my phone, then I’m likely alive and well and so is my dog. Btw, make it phone activity based (not distance/gps based) and you have a new app for older adults or single people and no phone activity triggers alarm to care givers, human and pet alike.
Love the idea
ElizBrig
I love the idea of this app, but it doesn’t work well. I’ve gotten multiple messages about my timer running out when it should have reset multiple times that same day. The emergency contacts won’t save. The ones I had got erased along with my pets info. I did cancel my membership, but should still have six months left that I already paid for. I’d be a customer again for the peace of mind this offers, but the service needs to work.
