New puppies cry alone — and you can't always tell why
First weeks at home, puppies often cry, scratch the crate, or have accidents the moment you leave the room. Without a camera you can't tell whether they need water, the toilet, or just comfort.
Dedicated pet cameras require separate hardware
Dedicated pet cameras require separate hardware, and recording or cloud features may depend on the current product and plan. Reusing a compatible phone can fit a temporary monitoring period.
Live check-ins show what is happening while you are away
A live view can help you see when a puppy is restless or needs attention. It does not replace in-person care or a training plan.
Why Call Pet works for puppy monitor app
01
Two-way audio for real-time soothing and recall
When your puppy cries, you can speak through the Monitor. A familiar voice may help some puppies, but reactions vary; use it as a check-in tool rather than a substitute for training or care.
02
Direct, encrypted media between paired devices
Media connects directly over WebRTC P2P with no TURN or media relay. WebRTC DTLS/SRTP protects audio and video; X25519 + AES-256-GCM protects control and signaling. Call Pet servers do not receive the media.
03
Free basic monitoring — perfect for a temporary monitoring need
Monitoring needs often change as a puppy settles in. Start with a compatible phone you already own; Pro features are optional if you need them.
04
Auto-reconnect for long workdays
After a brief network interruption, Call Pet can reconnect while the Monitor remains in the foreground standby page and a direct P2P path is available. A restart or closed app requires manual reopening.
05
Works with a compatible spare Apple or Android device
An iPhone or iPad running iOS/iPadOS 13 or later can be a Monitor. A compatible Android device can also be used as the Monitor only.

Keep the Monitor in Call Pet's foreground standby page, then open the Controller to view and use two-way audio. Both networks must permit direct WebRTC P2P.
Frequently asked
Will my puppy be scared by my voice coming through the phone? +
Puppies react differently. Start with a calm voice at low volume and stop using two-way audio if your puppy appears more anxious.
Can I record video to review what happened during the day? +
Call Pet does not provide cloud recording or cloud playback. Pro users can manually record on the Controller, and the file stays only on that Controller device. Nothing is recorded automatically by Call Pet.
How far away can I be from the spare phone? +
The devices do not need to share Wi-Fi, but both networks must permit a direct WebRTC P2P connection. Because Call Pet has no TURN/media relay, restrictive NAT or firewall environments may prevent connection.
Does the spare phone need to stay plugged in all day? +
Camera and network use consume significant power, and runtime varies by device and battery condition. For extended monitoring, keep the Monitor on a suitable charger and in Call Pet's foreground standby page.
Will Call Pet detect barking and notify me? +
Not currently. Call Pet focuses on private live viewing and does not perform server-side audio analysis. If bark alerts are essential, compare current public feature lists for dedicated pet cameras.
