A Driyu pet profile is identity and records, owner-controlled. A pet sitter notes app is operational notes during a specific stay. They serve different moments.
The Driyu team
Pet safety editorial
Quick answer: Driyu profile: identity, records, reunion. Sitter app: feeding times, walks, “she ate well today” updates during a stay. The Driyu profile is what the sitter reads to know your pet; the sitter app is what they use to update you during the stay.
What the Driyu profile is built for
Identity, photo, description, medical alerts, finder instructions, vaccine summary, vet contact, emergency contacts. Long-term, accurate, owner-controlled. Public scan page on tag scan.
What a pet sitter notes app is built for
Real-time updates during a stay. Walks, meals, photos, GPS routes, daily logs. Built for the sitter’s workflow.
How they work together
The sitter reads the Driyu profile before the stay to know the pet. During the stay, they log updates in the sitter app. After the stay, you read both to see what happened.
How Driyu fits
Driyu is not a stay-tracking app. It is the pet’s portable identity and records. Pair with a sitter app of your choice for in-stay updates.

Frequently asked questions
Does Driyu log walks and meals?
Not as a real-time sitter feature. Driyu is the pet’s identity and records layer.
Should I use both?
Many owners do, especially for longer stays.
Can my sitter update the Driyu profile?
If you share access with them, yes. Many sitters update emergency-contact addition or note medication changes.
What about Rover or Wag?
Those are sitter-marketplace apps with their own internal notes. Bring the Driyu profile as the durable identity layer.
