Download Free →Why most options fall short
Separation anxiety is real and most owners can't see it
Hours of howling, scratching at the door, eating furniture — by the time you get home, the evidence is everywhere but the moment is gone.
Hardware dog cams are pricey and need a subscription
Furbo costs $200+ and pushes you to a monthly cloud plan to see history.
Free apps usually have ads or no audio
What's a dog camera without two-way audio? You can see them but you can't tell them it's okay.

Frequently asked
My dog barks at speaker sounds. Will my voice scare them? +
Start at low volume. Many dogs eventually recognize their owner's voice and find it comforting. If your dog stays scared, leave the audio for emergencies only and use the camera as a viewer.
Can I record what my dog does while I'm away? +
Call Pet is live-only by design — no footage is recorded or stored. If you need recording, this is a limitation; if you want maximum privacy, this is a feature.
Will the spare phone overheat if it runs all day? +
Screen-off mode plus modest CPU load keeps temperatures low. Avoid wrapping the phone or putting it in direct sunlight.
Does it work for puppies in a crate? +
Yes — point the spare phone at the crate from a tripod or shelf 1–2 meters away.
