From training to finding sitters, we’ve combed through the endless choices to find the best apps to make your life – and your dog’s – a little easier.

Pawshake

That’s where Pawshake comes in – giving you easy access to pet sitters in your area (which have all been vetted, of course). Just type in your postcode and arrange a meet and greet!

Puppr

for Learning new tricks From basic obedience training to more crafty manoeuvres, Puppr includes step-by-step instructions and images to teach your dog all sorts of fun (and helpful) tricks. You can track your pet’s progress and earn badges along the way, and it also includes 50 moves by America’s Got Talent finalist Sara Carson & The Super Collies.

FitBark

for Monitoring fitness It’s FitBit for doggos! After attaching activity monitors to your dog’s collar, FitBark will do the rest – monitoring and tracking your pooch’s health (and sleep patterns) and comparing the results to others of the same breed and age. BringFido for Planning holidays If your doggo is joining you on vacay, there’s a lot of research you need to do ahead of time, including where the best petfriendly hotels, restaurants, parks and beaches are. BringFido can help answer your questions – simply search by location.
