What Pawsettle does
Documents for the moments that matter in a pet's life
Choose the document that fits your situation, then keep the important details, records and updates organised around your pet.
Shared care and relationships
Pet Parenting Agreement
A clear plan for your pet, made together
A written record of how two people share responsibility for a pet. Who takes them to the vet, how costs are split, what happens if one of you moves. All agreed, all written down.
- Care routines and living arrangements
- Vet decisions and shared costs
- Holiday and emergency care
- What happens if circumstances change
Petnup
Plan ahead for your pet, as a couple
A Petnup is a written plan couples make together, early in a relationship. It sets out how you will care for your pet: routines, costs, and what you have both agreed should happen if life changes.
- Daily care and shared routines
- Costs and vet arrangements
- A living document you can update together
- Positive, practical and built around your pet
Future care
Wishes and practical instructions for when you can no longer be there day to day, so the people who step in have a clear written brief alongside formal estate planning.
In development
Pet Legacy Planning
Plan what you want for your pet before you make it formal
A Letter of Instruction for your legal adviser and a Care Wishes Document for the person taking over your pet, from one guided builder you can use alongside your will or estate planning.
Home and renting
A structured way to prepare tenancy requests with a pet is on the roadmap, so renters can present evidence and wording calmly rather than piecing emails together under pressure.
Coming soon
Pet Tenancy
Renting with a pet, documented clearly
Prepare clearer documents when asking to rent with a pet, including a pet profile, supporting records and a structured request pack.

02
Build a clear record
Answer guided questions in plain language, with prompts shaped around the document you are creating.
03
Save, update or download
Keep your plan organised, revisit it when things change, and download available documents when the product supports it.

FAQ
All You Need to Know
No. A Pet Parenting Agreement is not a court order and cannot be enforced by a judge. However it is a signed, written record of what both parties agreed and carries evidential weight if a dispute is ever taken to court or mediation.
No. Pawsettle is a documentation and planning tool, not a legal service. You do not need a solicitor to create or sign a Pet Parenting Agreement or Petnup. If you need legal advice about your specific situation, please consult a qualified family solicitor.
Most people complete an agreement in 10 to 15 minutes. The process is guided step by step so you are never looking at a blank page.
Yes. Your answers are stored securely in your account and are never shared with third parties. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.
Yes. Pawsettle works for any pet including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and any other animal you share with a partner or co owner. The tools are designed around the animal, not the species.
A Pet Parenting Agreement is for couples who are separating and need to document what happens to their shared pet. A Petnup is for couples who are still together and want to plan ahead. Both are free to create.
Yes. Creating a free account means your agreement is saved securely and you can come back to it any time. It takes less than a minute and no payment details are required.
Yes. Plus users can invite co carers, household members, vets and emergency contacts. Each person gets access to the information relevant to their role. Co carers can view agreements and propose changes. Household members can log care and view documents. Vets get a focused health view. Emergency contacts can access the care sheet and key documents. Collaborators do not need a Plus subscription of their own.
Use the collaborator sign in option on the sign in page. Your account is separate from a standard Pawsettle account and is set up through your invitation link. If you are having trouble signing in, ask the pet owner to resend your invitation.
Yes. Pawsettle is available to anyone, anywhere. The platform tools, including the agreement builder, petnup builder, caregiver log, document vault and health timeline, work for pet owners in any country. Some blog content references specific local laws such as UK court rulings, but the planning and documentation tools are universal. Laws around pet ownership vary by country, but the need to plan, document and protect is the same everywhere.
No. Pawsettle is a documentation and planning tool, not a legal service. You do not need any legal knowledge to create a pet parenting agreement or petnup. The builders guide you through everything step by step. If your situation involves a legal dispute, we recommend consulting a qualified family lawyer in your country.
Not at all. The Petnup builder is designed for couples who are still together and want to plan ahead. Many couples create a petnup when they first get a pet together, move in together, or get engaged. Planning ahead while everything is calm is almost always better than trying to reach an agreement under pressure.
