ONE PET PROFILE. CARE NOTES FOR THE MOMENT.
You know everything about your pet. Someone helping may not.
Vet records in one place. The daily routine in another. Medication changes somewhere else. Most of it in your head.
Cotl brings your pet’s records, routines, preferences, quirks, and context into one current Pet Profile. When someone needs the information, create Care Notes with what matters for that person and situation.
WHY COTL
From scattered to shareable.
Your Pet Profile holds the full picture: health details, documents, routines, behavior, preferences, relationships, and the context only you know.
When someone steps in, choose what they need. Cotl turns those details into Care Notes you can share as a PDF or live link.
One current Pet Profile
Bring in the records, notes, documents, and instructions you already have.
We help you add routines, preferences, quirks, and other little things about your pet that only you know or that might currently be living in your head.
As your pet changes, you can easily keep their information current and comprehensive.

Care Notes for the person and situation
Your pet’s sitter, dog walker, vet, boarding team, family member, and backup contact might each need access to different information.
Easily share the details that matter for the person and moment. Each person sees only the information you specifically include.
Your full Pet Profile stays private.
🦴 Try it out, for free.
Sharing is easy and convenient
Send a live link or download a PDF. The recipient does not need a Cotl account.
PDF sharing is included in our free plan. Live links are available with Cotl Core for $29 per year per household.

More than a document
A note or document captures one version of your pet at one moment in time. Cotl keeps the complete picture together, then helps you create the right version for each handoff.
If something changes, update your Pet Profile. Any live links you have to Care Notes automatically reflect the updated information.

Questions about bringing all your pet’s info together
-
A Google Doc can hold instructions, but it becomes another file you have to find, update, copy, and check before every trip. Cotl keeps the underlying information in one Pet Profile, then lets you choose what belongs in the Care Notes for this caregiver and this trip.
-
Yes. Keep a separate Pet Profile for each pet in your household so their routines, medications, health details, and quirks stay clear. When someone is caring for more than one pet, you can prepare Care Notes with the relevant information for each of them.
-
Choose the details they may need for the situation: routines, medications, health or behavior notes, veterinary information, emergency contacts, household instructions, and the small preferences that help your pet feel safe. Your Pet Profile keeps the full picture together so you can include only what matters in each set of Care Notes.
-
No. Anyone can view the Care Notes you share without creating a Cotl account. Send a PDF for free, or use Cotl Core to share a live link they can open in a web browser.
-
They see only the information you deliberately include in those Care Notes—not your pet’s entire profile. You decide what is appropriate to share for that person and situation.
-
You can download and send a PDF or, on a paid plan, share a live link. Send Care Notes only to people you trust, especially when they include home, access, or emergency information.
-
Update the information in Cotl. A live link can reflect the latest profile information selected for that share. If you shared a PDF, download and send the updated version.
-
No. People receiving Care Notes can view what you shared, but they cannot edit your Pet Profile.
-
Yes. Choose the information that is relevant to the person and situation. You can create different Care Notes for a sitter, dog walker, vet, boarding team, family member, or backup contact without sharing your full Pet Profile with everyone.
