PetKey
Since 2003, PetKey has provided pet geo-tracking solutions to thousands of happy customers. In 2020, it was time for us to build a mobile application together.
As the team at PetKey knows, a pet is a member of the family. Keeping them safe and accounted for is of the utmost importance. Since 2003, PetKey has provided solutions to thousands of happy customers. It was the next step in the evolution of PetKey to add a mobile app to the array of tools at their disposal. With the PetKey mobile app, users have instant access to a network of others who can help them reconnect with their pets, including the team at PetKey. With just a few taps, a user can post their missing pet, and browse other lost pets in their area.,
We built the PetKey app to provide an intuitive, easy-to-use experience for users of all ages.
The heart of the app is the PetKey community network. With the devoted community of pet owners participating in the ecosystem, combined with the power of the app itself, the Petkey app will become a tremendous ally for owners who have lost a pet. It was also important to create a fun, rewarding in-app experience, keeping users engaged and excited about using the product. Part of what makes the PetKey app such a powerful resource for pet owners is how easy it is to report lost pets and also pets that are found. The map functionality, showing off fun icons to denote lost pets, found pets, and resources, shows how fun and serious subject matter can intermix. PetKey+ members also have extra benefits via subscription, allowing for instant alerts to go out to anyone in the area. Geolocation capabilities ensure users can see where pets were last seen, too.
The PetKey team was responsible for all of the backend APIs, providing and collaborating with the Chop Dawg team who built the mobile frontend in React Native.
