Building Your Pet Care Team

Your pet's care doesn't happen in isolation. Between family members, pet sitters, dog walkers, groomers, and veterinarians, there are a lot of people involved in keeping your furry friend happy and healthy.

The problem? Information gets siloed. Your partner doesn't know you already gave the morning medication. Your pet sitter doesn't have access to the vaccination records. Your vet doesn't know about the dietary changes you made last month.

MoaTails fixes this with shared care teams — and it's one of the features pet parents love most.

The Shared Care Model

MoaTails is built around the idea that pet care is a team sport. When you invite someone to your pet's care team, they get:

• Real-time calendar access — See what's been done and what's pending, updating in seconds

• Notification updates — Get notified when tasks are completed or overdue

• Document access — View important pet documents like vaccination records and prescriptions

• Activity feed — A running log of who did what and when — the ultimate accountability tool

Here's the best part: team members don't need a paid plan. Anyone you invite joins for free. No subscriptions, no friction — just shared care.

Who Should Be on Your Team?

Think about everyone who interacts with your pet regularly:

1. Household members — Partners, roommates, kids old enough to help with care

2. Pet sitters & walkers — Anyone who watches your pet when you're away

3. Family members — Parents or siblings who pet-sit occasionally

4. Your veterinarian — So they can see health trends and medication history before appointments

Setting Smart Boundaries with Permissions

Not everyone needs the same level of access. MoaTails gives you granular permissions for each team member:

• Your partner — Full access as Owner or Caregiver with all permissions

• Dog walker — Activities and Notes only. They can mark walks complete and leave observations, but can't modify medication schedules.

• Pet sitter — Feeding, Activities, Notes, and read-only Document access. They see exactly what's needed while you're away.

• Occasional family helper — View-only access to the calendar so they know the routine without accidentally changing anything

You can adjust permissions at any time as roles change.

Start simple! Give new team members basic access and expand it as needed. It's always easier to add permissions than to undo changes made with too much access.

A Day in the Life: How a Care Team Collaborates

Here's what shared care looks like in practice:

7:00 AM — You feed the dog and mark "Morning feeding" complete. Your partner sees it's done.

8:30 AM — Your partner gives the morning medication and marks it complete. You see the update while commuting.

3:00 PM — The dog walker arrives, opens MoaTails, sees the afternoon walk is pending. They take the dog out and mark it complete, adding a Note: "Great energy today, extra fetch at the park."

6:00 PM — You get home and check the activity feed. Feeding, medication, and walk — all done, all documented. No texts needed.

8:00 PM — You give the evening medication. The full day is logged.

This isn't hypothetical. This is what organized pet care actually looks like.

Getting Started

Inviting someone is simple:

1. Open your pet's profile and tap Care Team

2. Send an invite by email or shareable link

3. They create a free MoaTails account (if they don't have one)

4. They instantly see your pet's profile and schedule

No complicated setup. No subscription required for team members. Just shared care in under a minute.
