For pet parents
You know your pet. Until now, no app really did.
You know the bad hip. The allergy. The medication schedule. The thing that makes them bark. The little sign that means something isn't right. That knowledge matters — especially when you hand your pet to someone else.
Free to start · Build the story before you need a sitter
This pet. My pet.
They're not just any dog. They're your dog.
The things that make your pet your pet shouldn't live only in your head.
Their health history. Their medications. Their routines. What scares them. What settles them down. The food they can't eat. The funny little things a form never asked because there wasn't really a place to put them.
There is now. They can live in askKynos, where they're remembered.
Meet Kynos
Give Kynos a pet to remember.
Kynos is your guide inside askKynos. They start with the simplest thing — your pet's name — and helps you build the story around them.
The question that actually matters
Who's right for this pet?
Distance and ratings are useful. They just aren't the whole answer. askKynos starts from the pet side — breed, temperament, medical history, medications, rescue history and the details you've recorded — then looks for the sitter whose experience fits.
Start with the pet
Your pet's needs and personality are part of the match, not an afterthought after you've already picked someone.
Match for fit
Experience with seniors, medications, anxious pets or other relevant needs can matter more than simply being the closest person.
See why
askKynos shows you the reasoning behind the match so you can decide for yourself whether this is the right person for your pet.
The stay ends. The understanding doesn't.
What we learn about your pet shouldn't disappear.
The next sitter may not be the same sitter. But they shouldn't have to start from zero.
Medication schedules stay with the pet. The story you've built stays with the pet. And useful notes from a care experience can help the next person understand what came before.
Every booking should make the next one better. That's not a side feature. It's the whole idea.

Start before you need a sitter
Your pet's story can help you right away.
You don't need a trip planned. Build the story now, while you have time to remember the details.
Then, when a health or care question comes up, Pet Guidance can use the context you've already recorded about your pet. Most AI starts with the question you type. Kynos can start with the story you've already built about your dog.
Pet Guidance provides general information only. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace a veterinarian. For urgent concerns, contact a veterinary professional.
Why trust us with something you love?
We're a family that had the same problem.
Husband, wife, son and daughter-in-law. Dog owners and cat owners. Two of us have worked as sitters on the incumbent platforms. We weren't guessing about the handoff. We had lived it from both sides.
The skills were already at the table
Enterprise software, data science, engineering, communications and marketing — the mix we needed happened to be sitting around one family table.
Built, tested and self-funded
We spent six months building and testing askKynos. No outside money — nights, weekends and our own checks.
A real company you can hold accountable
Artemis Petconnect, Inc. is incorporated, registered and insured. Sitters are background checked before taking bookings, and payments run through Stripe rather than us holding your card data.
“If you're going to ask people to trust you with something they love, you better be something they can hold accountable.”
Built for real-world trust
We didn't take shortcuts with the trust pieces.
Payments run through Stripe. Sitter background checks run through Checkr. We built and tested those systems before asking anyone to trust askKynos with a pet, a payment or a booking.
Payments powered by Stripe
Payment processing is handled through Stripe's infrastructure rather than askKynos storing raw card details. Our booking flows also support the cancellation and refund policy selected for each sitter.
Background checks through Checkr
Sitter screening is integrated through Checkr as part of the verification flow before bookings.
What you can book

Pet parent. Pet sitter. Or both.
One app. Both sides of pet care.
Already a pet parent? The experience you have with animals can become additional income. Switch to Sitter mode, choose the kinds of pets and care you're comfortable with, complete the sitter requirements, and start earning — without creating another account.
And if you already sit on askKynos and have pets of your own, bring that same understanding home. Add your own pets and use askKynos for them, too.
