About DocuPet

As the premier pet registration provider for over 250 jurisdictions, DocuPet stands as North America's largest and most rapidly expanding pet registration platform. Our proprietary system centralizes all pet information, offering services that enable pet owners, community members, and animal shelters to quickly reunite lost pets with their families. Beyond our core platform, DocuPet provides specialized pet tags, an AI-powered pet tracker, a lost pet alert system, and is set to launch a groundbreaking pet parenting mobile app, all dedicated to ensuring every pet in North America is registered and has a secure, happy home.

Our work is vital. With over 6 million pets entering animal shelters annually and only a 10% return rate to owners, DocuPet's comprehensive solutions—including effective registration, pet identification, reunification tools, and animal shelter resources—are designed to significantly reduce shelter intakes and generate crucial funding for animal welfare organizations.

About the Role

The DocuPet solution encompasses an intuitive online licensing system, branded websites and communications, real-time tracking and reporting, fulfillment, customer service, and value-added services for pet owners like our Lost Pet Alert System and Rewards Program.

The Partner Tools team is responsible for developing new features and enhancements that offer self-service tools and communication services for our pet licensing and animal shelter administrators across North America.

In this role, you will contribute by building new and supporting existing partner tools within the DocuPet platform, including features for pet owner and pet record search, management, address management, document verification and management, canvassing, reporting, and services for assembling and sending communications. These tools empower our partners to administer and operate their pet licensing programs, enhance awareness and compliance, and drive pet registration. Furthermore, they aid in identifying owners of lost pets and facilitating their reunion, thereby reducing shelter intakes and shortening animal stays in shelters.
