Hands-free pet care
Log Pet Care with Your Voice Using Siri
Trigger Petive care logs and reminders hands-free with Siri Shortcuts—no unlocking required.
- Hands-free care logging
- Custom Siri phrases
- No app unlock needed
What it does
One clear job, connected to the rest of Petive.
Petive supports Siri Shortcuts so you can record care moments the moment they happen—while cooking, walking, or whenever your hands are full.
- Create custom Siri phrases to log meals, walks, and water
- Trigger care entries without opening Petive
- Works alongside the daily care log and shared timeline
How it works
From setup to a useful record.
Petive keeps the workflow short enough for real life and specific enough to reduce guesswork later.
- 01
Open the Shortcuts app
Find Petive actions in the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
- 02
Choose a care action
Select the care type you want to trigger—meal, walk, water, or another supported activity.
- 03
Set your Siri phrase
Give the shortcut a phrase that feels natural, like "Hey Siri, Milo had breakfast."
- 04
Log care hands-free
Say the phrase and Petive records the entry in the daily timeline without you opening the app.
Care recorded at the right moment
The best time to log care is when it happens. Siri Shortcuts let you capture a feeding, walk, or water top-up instantly—before the moment passes.
Your phrase, your routine
Set up a shortcut that matches how you already talk about pet care. Petive records the entry and it appears in the daily timeline like any other log.

Privacy and trust
Your pet data is not public by default.

Details worth knowing before you start.
Which care types can I log with Siri?
You can create shortcuts for core care log types including meals, walks, and water. Open the Shortcuts app to see all available Petive actions.
Does it work without opening Petive?
Yes. Once the shortcut is set up, saying your phrase records the entry directly without unlocking or opening the app.
Can I use the same phrase on multiple devices?
Shortcuts sync via iCloud across your devices. Each device still needs Petive installed and signed in.
Pet care, in one place
Start with the care you already do.
