You can track your pet from anywhere with your Fi Device, including when your pet visits a daycare or boarding facility.
Please note: We recommend working with trusted professionals who understand your pet’s day-to-day activity when they are away from you. This includes how you would be informed in case of an escape or if there is an emergency.
Setting Up for Daycare or Boarding
Here are some recommendations on optimizing your Fi experience while your pet is in a daycare or boarding center:
-
Set up the location as a Safe Zone: A Safe Zone ensures you receive notifications if your pet exits a location they should be within. You can learn about creating Safe Zones in the Set Up and Edit a Safe Zone article.
-
Add an available Wi-Fi Network: This ensures your pet's location is accurately tracked while indoors. Learn how to set up the Wi-Fi network ahead of time in the Add, edit, and remove saved Wi-Fi networks article.
-
Add any walkers to your Fi Account: You can add any daycare or boarding center employee and grant them View only or Restricted access on your Fi Account. They will have limited access to your account and can be added or removed at any time.
- Bring your Fi Base: If you have a Series 2, 3, or 3+, we recommend bringing your Fi Base to the daycare or boarding facility. This will help maintain the Fi Device’s battery life, especially if the location’s Wi-Fi isn’t available to use.
Using GPS Tracking
We do not recommend using GPS for tracking your pet while they are at daycare or boarded. This is due to GPS accuracy being limited for the Fi Device while indoors. We recommend connecting to Wi-Fi and/or bringing your Fi Base for the best tracking experience.
