Get Your PetReviews of getyourpet.com

I pick up my best friend CJ here a few years back, an older guy he was. This was a fabulous way to get my Pitt bull mix. Recently my good Ole boy passed away and I was able to message his old owner to let him know how wonderful his CJ was and let him know that our CJ had gone to the RAINBOW Bridge. How much I loved the boy of mine and how blessed we were to know him

I adopted a dog I found on Get Your Pet. The Guardian lied about the dog's age and behavior issues. She promised me vaccination and vet records but never followed through. I tried to get an appointment with one of their vets before finalizing the adoption, but I couldn't get one in time. I emailed Get Your Pet and explained what happened. All I got was a canned response, thanking me for using their service. You are on your own! Get your pet provides the platform and collects your money. Don't expect more from them.

I have been going to other sites that we're making it extremely difficult to adapt a dog without having a fence yard. I believe I am a responsible pet parent. Through this site I was able to adopt my buddy Milo and meet his former parent. We were able to spend some time together to get to know Milo which made the transition for him easier. The whole process was Very easy and I felt safe. Plus the price was 1/3 of going to a shelter or a dog rescue. Me and Milo have been together for a few months now and it is a perfect fit. Thank you so much Get Your Pet. Add on: I have read some of the reviews and yes I did run into one pet owner that wanted the money up front. Obviously it was a scam. Just like any other site online if someone ask you for money up front - do not give it. Do not give your phone number or address.. Stick to using The Get My Pet meet up app. Pick a safe public place to meet up. Most police departments even have picnic tables. If after you meet your pet and the former pet parent and want to keep in contact then exchange phone numbers. I am a real user of this app and me and Milo are extremely happy and thankful. I hope you have the same experience. Remember you're using an app and you are the only one that can keep yourself safe.

We met and adopted a fantastic lab mix, Taco, using “Get Your Pet”. I could see why reviews may be negative since the experience is a lot like buying a used car. You’re meeting a stranger who wants to find a home for their pet, so overselling them and not being truthful about bad behaviors and medical problems are a risk. While Get Your Pet was perfect for us, here’s some advice for an adopter. First, if you choose to meet choose a safe, public place – and never exchange any money. We met in a park with an enclosed basketball area to throw a ball. We watched Taco run and took the ball from his mouth repeatedly. We looked at his stool when he defecated and saw him get nose-to-nose with other dogs. We brought our own balls and leash, just in case. We also asked the former owner to bring Taco’s medical records and then we spoke to his vet (you’ll need permission). No matter how adorable the pet is, it’s heartbreaking to find out problems later. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Pet parents also have to vet the potential adopters. Try to verify their info, google their address after the meet and even ask for references. This isn’t a site that does this, so it’s up to you to protect your pet and make sure they go to a good home.

I was so happy I found many dogs I'd like to adopt or rehome on this site. I contacted several people, they want to meet but all ask me to venmo or paypal them $. Absolute SCAM!!! I reported those people but did NOT get a response from the site!!! DO NOT USE!!!

This is at least a 90% scam. We were so excited when we found a puppy we wanted to adopt. We messaged the guardian and to a fairly speedy reply. He wanted to set up the meet, so we gave him a phone number. He never called. but messaged back. I could barely read the message because the language was just a mess. I messaged him asking that he please clarify. As it turned out, he wanted the fee up front (before the meet). After that, I some more research and found another puppy with the same guardian but had a different name. Now, granted, the second puppy could have been a litter mate, however, after the messages I received, I seriously doubt it. So, without messaging, we skipped the meet and did not hear from the guardian. That confirmed my suspicions. I'm so concerned for the puppies on this site. It is completely possible that these pups are not being rehomed but bred for this purpose. Adopting a puppy from this site will only encourage this practice. There are a lot of other rescues out there and while the process might be more protracted, at least you can rest assured that you are not encouraging the puppy mills. Good luck to any of you out there looking for a fur baby!

There are several ""owners"" asking for transactions off-site to rehome pets. This is common pet scam tactic also utilized in places like Craigslist, Kijiji, and Facebook where people will pull photos of popular dog breeds or attractive dogs from social media or Google and try to get people to pay breed-shelter prices (200-400$) under the table for a dog they don't even have, or they'll give you a dog that isn't the one pictured but is from a backyard breeding operation or worse- stolen. I came across a chihuahua named "Rag" listed for adoption that was an obviously catfished photo, using the photo of "Prancer" from an adoption post that went viral a couple years ago. The ""owner"" also listed the dog as black and white, despite Prancer being a golden brown. Even though this was clearly either a scammer, or someone who was using false or inaccurate info, my help emails have gone nowhere and the listing is still up. Once scammers know that nothing is being done about them, they will flock to the website, and listings will gradually become more scams than legitimate posts. This is not only disadvantageous to users, but also makes it harder for an otherwise good concept to be utilized properly and these animals will go unadopted, because the scammers will discourage people from using the site. Getyourpet is a small company that likely got too big, too fast, and is too understaffed to properly handle all the help requests that come in. If nothing is done about this NOW, it has an extremely high chance of completely running this site into the ground. Get your act together, Getyourpet. There are plenty of people unemployed due to the pandemic, you have no excuse for not having enough staff to combat such obvious scams.

Beware of a scumbag calling himself “David” — no now it’s “Nora”—who just happened to inherit his dead dad’s Samoyed puppy named “Grey” — no now it’s “Pearl” but always in Philadelphia, then asks to be paid off the site (fyi you’re supposed to pay the WEBSITE directly AFTER taking your new pet home, not the scammer directly for anything). He had sob story after sob story about why he needed money, suddenly his other dog “Dell” (no doubt named after his computer monitor he uses to scam people) is sick too. It would be funny if it wasn’t actually a scam.
