I built Purrfolio because every time someone else looked after my dog, I ended up typing the same long message from memory — what he eats and when, which medication, the thing he’s scared of, the vet’s number. It always came out half-complete. So I made somewhere to write it down once, and hand the whole lot over in a couple of taps. It’s named after my dog Ollie, who is the reason any of it exists.
Each pet gets a profile: a photo, their name, breed, birthday and weight, and then whatever else matters, split across tabs — food, walks, toilet, medication, quirks, health. Anything the built-in tabs don’t cover gets a tab of its own, so a pet who needs grooming notes or a fish tank schedule has somewhere to put them. Tabs that don’t apply don’t appear: a cat isn’t asked about walks.
Day to day you mostly don’t open it. You fill a profile in once when you get the pet, then add to it when something changes — a new medication, a different feeding time. The moment it earns its place is when you hand the animal to someone: you press share, choose which pets to include, and send a single file. It opens in any browser and looks like the app, with the same tabs to press through, or prints as a PDF for the fridge.
There are smaller things that matter more than they sound. The one thing a sitter mustn’t miss gets its own card, separate from everything else. Weight can be entered in kilos or pounds and switches with a tap. Birthdays accept an exact date, just the year, or a rough age, because most people only know one of those. Reminders for feeding and medication are there but off by default, and nothing asks for notification permission until you turn them on.
It’s in English, Japanese and Korean, and everything stays on the phone.
