about PetWorks

PetWorks is the trusted way to find, compare, and book expert pet care, all in one place. We built this platform for pet parents who want more than a generic directory, and for the professionals who dedicate their careers to animals. Whether your companion purrs, barks, chirps, neighs, squeaks, or oinks, we connect you with the right care at every stage of life.


From everyday wellness to once-in-a-lifetime moments, PetWorks covers the full spectrum of pet care. Need a customized nutrition plan? A certified dog trainer for that enthusiastic (but sometimes mischievous) pup? A trusted pet transport specialist? An animal chiropractor in your area? Compassionate in-home end-of-life care, or support navigating the grief that follows? Our nationwide network of vetted Pet Care Professionals is here for all of it, and for the loving pet parents who spare no effort when it comes to their animals.

More than a listing site

Since launching in 2021, PetWorks has grown into a marketplace pet parents actually rely on. More than 80,000 registered pet parents have used the platform to securely book from our network of 5,000+ verified Pet Care Professionals across all 50 U.S. states. Pet parents rate our pros an average of 4.91 out of 5 stars, based on more than 7,255 verified ratings -real feedback from real bookings, not anonymous reviews.

Every professional goes through a review process before they can accept bookings. We look for verified identity, relevant credentials, and a track record of quality care, including certifications such as CPDT-KA, NAPPS, PSI, and Red Cross Pet First Aid, among many others. You can see trust signals at a glance on every listing: credentials, reviews, booking history, and secure online payments through Stripe.

And when you book through PetWorks, you're not on your own. Every booking is backed by Care Coverage - our promise to support you and your pet every step of the way. That means secure payments, help resolving booking disputes, full refunds when a pet pro cancels, and access to our live Concierge team when you need a human being in your corner.

Expert guidance, too

PetWorks isn't all booking - it's also a resource. Our library of 1,000+ pet care articles spans dogs, cats, horses, birds, and house pets, written and curated by experienced professionals and industry leaders. Whether you're researching before you book or learning between appointments, you'll find accurate, trustworthy, and ethically produced health and wellness guidance you can count on.

We're here to make great pet care easier to find, safer to book, and simpler to trust. Browse by category, request free quotes from multiple pros at once, or let our Concierge team point you in the right direction. However you start, the goal is the same: connecting your pet with care that's as devoted as you are.
