We want to make sure everyone responsible for keeping your pet happy and safe can do so with WHISTLE™. By joining your pet's Family on the Whistle app, caretakers enjoy the same experience of managing your pet's location and activity through the app.
There is no additional cost to adding family members to your pet's family.
What can members of your pet's Family do?
Family members can use the app as you do— some of the actions they can take include:
- Tracking your pet
- Receiving tracking notifications
- Adding a Safe Place (Note: users in your pet's Family cannot delete each others Safe Places)
- Customizing notification settings for themselves
- Editing your pet’s profile
- Editing your pet’s activity goal

1. In the bottom menu, tap the Pet Icon
2. In the Pet screen, go to the top right corner and tap the gear icon to open Settings
3. Under your pet's family, tap Manage Family
4. Tap Add Human

3. A texting window will open. Choose a contact from your phone.
4. Send the text message
5. You’ll be notified once your contact accepts the invitation and will see them in your pet’s profile.
To accept your invitation, they must create their own Whistle account, or log into their Whistle account if they are already a user (see steps for accepting an invitation below).
