The question every pet owner avoids

If something happened to you tonight,who takes care of your pet?

Not "someone would figure it out." A name, in a legal document, with money set aside and your instructions attached. That's a pet trust — and you can make one tonight, in about ten minutes.

Accurate by design — not just “AI.”

PetTrust.io runs Claude Opus 4.8 in a gated environment, fenced off from your legal language. Opus helps organize your own pet-care notes into clear instructions — but every statute, citation, and clause in your packet is fixed, source-locked text drawn from the official statute, never generated by AI at request time. So your plan can’t cite a made-up statute or hallucinate the law the way generic AI tools can.

📜 Statute-locked legal language 🚫 No AI-written law — zero hallucination 🔒 Gated environment, human oversight

PetTrust.io is self-help document software, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. AI assistance is limited to organizing your own inputs.

Without a plan

Love isn't a legal document.

You'd do anything for your pet. But if you're not there, "anything" needs paperwork.

Most

pet owners have no written plan for what happens to their animals if something happens to them.

No. 1

A shelter, not a sofa

With no one legally named, pets are routinely surrendered to shelters while the family "sorts things out" — at the exact moment they're most confused and afraid.

No. 2

A promise needs paperwork

"My sister said she'd take him" is not a signed plan. Without a trust or written arrangement, there may be no money set aside, no named authority, and no clear duty for anyone to provide care.

No. 3

Money without instructions

Even the most loving relative doesn't know the vet, the meds, the food, the routine. A pet trust can put the funds and the instructions in one organized document packet.

The promise, made official

Your pet can't read this document. That's the point.

Your pet just knows you always come back. A pet trust is how you make sure someone is there — chosen by you, funded by you, instructed by you — on the one day you can't be.

👤A guardian you choose — plus a backup, so there's never a gap in care.
💰Funds that can only be spent on your pet — with an enforcer to keep everyone honest.
📋Your instructions, attached — vet, meds, food, quirks, the routine only you know.
⚖️Built for your selected supported state — with signing, funding, and execution instructions included.

Built past generic forms

A pet-care workflow, not a general estate-plan checkbox.

Big legal platforms can include pet provisions. PetTrust.io focuses the whole experience on the handoff, the caregiver, the funds, the instructions, and the emergency moment.

What generic forms can leave scattered

Paperwork matters, but the operational care details are what a caregiver needs on a stressful day.

  • -Caregiver chain: who takes the pet today, who backs them up, and who monitors the plan.
  • -Daily care context: vet, medication, feeding routine, boarding, grooming, and end-of-life preferences.
  • -Emergency handoff: a card and checklist that tell people a pet is waiting.

What PetTrust.io adds

A guided packet that treats your pet like the center of the plan, while staying inside self-help software boundaries.

  • +State-specific by design: every U.S. state gets its own statute-specific packet, never a generic fallback.
  • +Access recovery: buyers can recover their one-click link without exposing purchase status.
  • +Download-ready premium kit: certificate, trust instrument, wallet + collar cards, fridge ICE notice, worksheets, signing guide, and funding checklist — pre-filled from your answers in 24 states (and growing).
Attorney review may be requested separately where available and is governed by separate engagement terms.
