Free to start. No payment details required. Joining as a collaborator?
What Pawsettle does
Two documents. One place. Built around your pet.
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
How it works
A Fair Arrangement, in Three Simple Steps.
01
Tell us about your pet.
Their name, their routine, their needs. We use this to make everything personal to them.
02
Answer a few guided questions.
Who is the primary carer? Where would your pet live if you separated? We walk you through every question, one step at a time.
03
Save your arrangement and get your document.
Your answers are saved securely and your document is ready. Free users get a summary to print. Plus users get a formatted PDF, version history, shared access and ongoing review reminders. A one time PDF is available for £10 if you do not need a subscription.

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.
