We’re pet
parents too.

We know pet care can be expensive, and honestly, a little overwhelming at times.

That’s exactly why we created the Vetted app — because great pet care shouldn’t feel confusing, costly, or lonely.

At Vetted, we empower pet parents to give their pets the highest standard of care—without the stress, and with all the perks, right at home. Our goal? To be the most trusted pet care partner in every pet parent’s pocket.

“I started Vetted because taking the best care of my Frenchie, Shor, felt unknown to me, expensive, and lonely.

My French Bulldog, Shor, is my souldog—and I live for his health and happiness. But outside of rushed annual vet visits, I was left guessing. When something felt off, I’d end up spending money on unnecessary vet visits and spiraling through Google and FB groups, only to feel more confused and financially depleted than before.

Little did I know, there were simple things I could do everyday to increase his quality and quantity of life—while sparing us both the stress, cost, and confusion.

So I started asking questions to understand why pet care felt so reactive, transactional, and disconnected. I reached out to veterinarians, preventive care experts, and other pet health professionals. That’s when I heard something that stuck: over half of emergency vet visits could be avoided with proactive, at-home care. That was the lightbulb moment.

I didn’t just want better answers—I wanted a better system. So I built Vetted.

A smarter kind of pet care that rewards you for all the excellent care habits you're already doing for your pet. You can connect with a community of pet parents just like you for real advice, shared wins, and local support. And you’ll earn rewards you can actually use—at vetted partners like retailers, veterinarians, groomers, and pet-friendly shops you already love. Helping resolve both the confusion of excellent pet parenting and the costs that go hand-in-hand with them.

Better pet care starts at home—and now, it starts with you.”

What's the best part about your work at Vetted?

Seeing messages from pet parents about how they changed their daily routines to incorporate preventative health measures for their pets makes my heart full. Pet parents feel so accomplished and proud, and trust me - everyone at Vetted does too! We know what an impact they are having on their little ones and how much their pets will benefit from teeth brushing, supplements, preventative care tasks done at their local vets office, and more! 

How did you get to where you are today?

I always loved entrepreneurship. I love filling gaps. I am fueled when someone says “it is not possible” because I feel like I have an opportunity to bring impact in an area that people have already given up on. 

As a pet parent to Shor, my French Bulldog, I wanted to ensure that I was doing everything to the best of my abilities so he could live his healthiest and happiest life alongside me. That's when I started to ask Veterinarians what they are doing for their pets. I realized that the gold standard of care exists and Veterinarians could help guide us on what that standard is. With education and support other pet parents could give that standard of care and therefore impact the lives of their pets for the better. That’s how I decided that preventative health for pet parents would be my mission.

What is the most interesting thing about you?

I love hosting Shabbat dinners at my home with my husband, Frenchie, and our dear family and friends. Cooking and baking delicious challah bread for Shabbat dinners, warms my heart for the entire week.

What's the best part about your work at Vetted?

Besides getting to see photos of our members’ pets every day, the second best part of my job at Vetted is how much each minute of the day is different than the last. I’m constantly solving new problems and it allows me to use my creativity in ways I never imagined. 

How did you get to where you are today?

I have a pretty untraditional background for a CTO. I started my career in social media marketing at a creative agency writing copy for clients. I started working on projects where we’d build websites for clients, and in those projects I’d work really closely with the development team, QAing their work and even writing HTML whenever I could. I taught myself how to code in Python (my favorite programming language!). I decided to pursue a career in tech and moved to San Francisco where I started working in tech support. Ten months later, I was promoted to the engineering team. From there, I decided to go to business school where I met Maya. And the rest is history!

What do you like to do for fun?

I love cuddling with my cat Neko, cooking new recipes, and listening to music on my record player!

Brandi is the Chief of People & Pets - more traditionally Chief of Staff, but, just like her career, nothing is truly traditional.  Brandi comes to Vetted with over 10 years of startup experience ranging from tech to fitness, co-working to traditional real estate all with the focus of helping companies build from the ground up.  She brings her unique lens of internal business operations and strategies combined with the voice of the customer to Vetted.  She lives in Austin but she and her 80 pound German Shepherd, Koda, can be spotted frequently around Oklahoma, her hometown.  She loves softball - playing and coaching - and is likely at some sort of field every weekend as one of her personal passion projects is rewriting the athlete experience and what better way to do that than as a coach and mentor to future athletes.

How did you get to where you are today?

My experience is in Operations and helping build businesses. My career in startups has given me the opportunity to work within a multitude of industries including hospitality, fitness, real estate, strategy, and general tech. The core of my roles have always been about building processes and finding solutions that help a business and team grow all while working towards the bigger mission.

What do you do for fun?

I love to workout, play softball, and watch true crime. I am a huge family person and can usually be found doing something fun with them when I’m not at the gym or coaching/playing softball.

Staring at cute photos of cats and dogs all day is pretty great as well. :)

My background is in Customer Service and Experience, where I started out working on teams and eventually had the opportunity to lead various teams.

I love solving problems for customers and working with individuals and teams to create a fantastic product everyone can be proud of.
