No one knows your pet like you do.
Cotl helps you capture your pet’s needs, quirks, and favorite things, then share what matters when someone else steps in.
Start with the essentials. Add more anytime.
Your pet is not something someone can just “figure out.”
The pill trick. The sound that scares them. The little change that means something is wrong. The door they will bolt through.
Your pet deserves to be cared for like they are known.
“I built a wonderful life for my pets. And I wanted to know they’d still be safe, happy, and loved—even if something happens to me.”
Useful for a weekend away.
Ready for the unexpected.
Use Cotl for everyday care and sitter handoffs. Build the backup information someone would need if you were suddenly unavailable.
A sitter may only need tonight's routine. A family member in an emergency may need the vet, medication, authorization, and the person who should make a difficult decision.
Your pet is always there for you.
Now, you can always be there for them too.

Have access to pet care funds as soon as possible
Your money, for your pet only.
We partner with TowneBank and Booper Legal to ensure any funds you save go directly to your pet’s care.
Booper Legal is a law firm run by our founder, Sean Valle, who is a licensed lawyer. The firm holds any money set aside for your pets under state law and North Carolina State Bar rules and makes sure your money is used only for your pet’s care. Booper Legal might sound like a silly name for a law firm, but “Booper” is the nickname of Sean’s dog, Domino. She's perhaps the friendliest dog on Earth--the perfect namesake for a firm dedicated to looking after other pets.
You can trust that the Booper Legal team takes your pet’s well-being seriously.
Here’s what other pet parents are saying
Other proactive pet parents are finding peace too.
📢 “Knowing my dog has a plan in place has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders that I didn’t even know was there. Cotl made it easy, and I feel at peace knowing she will never be alone.” — Emily R.
📢 “My wife and I never thought about what would happen to our dogs if something happened to us. Cotl helped me figure it all out. My niece is officially my pets’ guardian, and I feel so much better.” — Mark L.
📢 “I assumed my daughter would take care of my cat if I passed away. But I realized her home and family wouldn’t be the best environment for him, and it was too much to ask from her. My neighbor and I are Cotl caretakers for each other’s pets now.” — Gloria P.
I’m young and invincible. Do I really need a Cotl Plan?
Your Cotl Plan lasts your whole life and protects all of the current and future pets you add to your plan. You can add or remove pets over time and make any updates you want. You get the certainty every pet who joins your family will live a safe, full, happy life now and later.
I’m on a Friskies budget. Is this just for rich people?
No savings? No problem. Cotl Plans are for all pet owners, and one of our goals is to make pet planning more accessible. There are many ways to secure your pet’s future—without breaking the bank.
You can add funds to your Cotl Plan all at once or in small amounts over time. Save whatever funds bring you peace of mind. You can also name your Cotl Plan as a beneficiary to a life insurance or disability insurance policy or add a clause to your will or broader estate plan to transfer funds if something happens to you.
In the future, we'll offer small, affordable life and disability insurance policies you can use to fund your Cotl Plan.
Every pet should be spoken for
Pets cannot explain where the medication is, who they trust, what calms them, what has changed, or what they need when their person cannot answer.
Cotl helps make sure someone can.
