Co-Parenting Dog App

Quick answer: Petive is a co-parenting dog app for everyday care handoffs, with shared logs, flexible recurring reminders, and a visible history. It is not a custody calendar, legal record, expense splitter, or conflict-resolution service.

A practical care handoff workflow

  • The pack owner invites the other caregiver.
  • Each person checks the dog’s recent timeline before taking over.
  • The caregiver logs meals, walks, medication, or notes after completing them.
  • The next caregiver checks the same history instead of relying on memory.

The value comes from a shared operational record: what happened, when it happened, and who recorded it.

Schedules and reminders, without invented recurrence rules

Care reminders support once, daily, selected-weekday, and every-N-hours-or-days schedules. A supported notification can be marked Done or snoozed for 30 minutes.

Current limitation: Petive does not claim refill tracking or household-wide reminder synchronization. Reminder schedules are device-based, and caregivers must copy prescribed timing and dose instructions exactly.

Review the exact reminder behavior on the Care Reminders page.

What is shared

Members of the same Shared Pack can use the shared care history for the dog. The owner controls membership. VIP includes one pack with up to four members total.

Read the exact owner controls, limits, and availability on the shared pet care app page.

Caregivers should still agree outside the app on handoff times, emergency decisions, purchases, and any legal responsibilities.

Privacy and fit

Only invite people who need access to the dog’s shared information. This use case is best for partners, relatives, roommates, and trusted sitters coordinating routine care on iPhone.

Common questions

What does a co-parenting dog app help with?

It gives trusted caregivers one place to check and record routine care such as meals, walks, medication, and notes before the next handoff.

Can Petive create a custody schedule?

No. Petive supports everyday care coordination, not legal custody schedules or agreements.

Do reminders sync to every caregiver’s phone?

Do not assume household-wide reminder synchronization. Reminder schedules are device-based, while completed care entries can appear in the shared history.

How many people can join a Shared Pack?

VIP includes one Shared Pack with up to four members total, including the owner.

Use Petive for the everyday care record—and keep legal, financial, and relationship decisions where they belong.
