TRAVEL-READY PET CARE
Stop rewriting your pet's care instructions every time you leave town.
Cotl keeps your pet’s routines, medications, health details, contacts, and quirks in one living Pet Profile.
Before each trip, choose what your caregiver needs and turn it into Care Notes you can share, without starting over.
WHY COTL
One Pet Profile. Fresh Care Notes for every trip.
Update your pet’s information once in Cotl instead of rebuilding the same instructions before every trip.
When someone else steps in, create Care Notes from what is already there and share only what that person needs.
Update once
When a routine, medication, contact, or other detail changes, update your pet’s Cotl profile.
The next time you travel, you do not have to correct an old copy or rebuild the instructions from memory.
Your pet’s information stays in one source of truth.
Share only what matters
Choose the information each sitter, friend, family member, boarding team, or backup contact needs to see.
Create different Care Notes for the different people helping during a trip.
Each person sees the information you deliberately include for them—not your pet’s entire profile.
You stay in control of every handoff.
Easy for caregivers
Share Care Notes as a PDF or, on a paid plan, through a live link.
The person caring for your pet does not need a Cotl account.
They get the information you selected in a format that is easy to open and use.
Not another document to maintain
A document captures your pet’s information at one moment in time.
Cotl keeps the source of truth in one place, then helps you create the right version for each caregiver and each trip.
If something changes, update Cotl. A live link can reflect the current selected information; for a PDF, download and send the updated version.
Questions about using Cotl for travel
-
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.
-
Include the details they may need while you are unavailable: feeding and bathroom routines, medications, health or behavior notes, veterinary information, emergency and backup contacts, household instructions, and the small preferences that help your pet feel safe. Cotl gives those details one home so you can select what matters for each handoff.
-
No. A caregiver can receive the Care Notes you share without creating a Cotl account. You can send a PDF or, on a paid plan, a live link they can open in a web browser.
-
They see the information you deliberately include in the Care Notes for them—not your pet’s entire profile. You decide what is appropriate to share for that trip.
-
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 that trip and the person stepping in. You can prepare different Care Notes for a primary sitter, a boarding team, or a backup contact without sharing the full Pet Profile with everyone.
