Vetted exists because we love our pets and want them with us as long as possible.
The way your pup jumps up on the couch to snuggle with you, or how your cat insists upon sleeping on your entire pillow.
Being a pet parent isn’t about the huge milestones, it’s about the small, in-between moments that weave together to make up the fabric of life.
We know how meaningful these moments are and we want to make sure you can have as many of those as possible (without the constant worry about their health!). We promise to love your pets as much as you do and go the extra mile to make sure you have the support to be the best pet parent you can be!
our story
Vetted was created by Maya and Ashley who came together over the shared experience of how bewildering it can be to be a pet parent. After finding themselves at the vet and their local ER countless times, they were desperate to put an end to the stress. They began asking themselves: “Is there a way to prevent these scenarios from arising?”
They spent time with veterinarians, who believed that over half of the cases that came into the ER could have been prevented with preventative measures. That's when Ashley and Maya decided to lead the way in preventative care for pets by creating Vetted.
Vetted is a true support system for pet parents, helping you to make sure your pet has their best life possible. With 24/7 advice from trusted veterinarian professionals (our pet pros), covered emergency care exam visits, and ongoing tailored education for you and your pet, pet parenting has never been so premium and simple!
Vetted is here to be your support system, your cheerleader, and the on-call vet friend you wish you had.

Seeing messages from pet parents about how they changed their daily routines to incorporate preventative health measures for their pets makes my heart full. Pet parents feel so accomplished and proud, and trust me - everyone at Vetted does too! We know what an impact they are having on their little ones and how much their pets will benefit from teeth brushing, supplements, preventative care tasks done at their local vets office, and more!
I always loved entrepreneurship. I love filling gaps. I am fueled when someone says “it is not possible” because I feel like I have an opportunity to bring impact in an area that people have already given up on.
As a pet parent to Shor, my French Bulldog, I wanted to ensure that I was doing everything to the best of my abilities so he could live his healthiest and happiest life alongside me. That's when I started to ask Veterinarians what they are doing for their pets. I realized that the gold standard of care exists and Veterinarians could help guide us on what that standard is. With education and support other pet parents could give that standard of care and therefore impact the lives of their pets for the better. That’s how I decided that preventative health for pet parents would be my mission.
I love hosting Shabbat dinners at my home with my husband, Frenchie, and our dear family and friends. Cooking and baking delicious challah bread for Shabbat dinners, warms my heart for the entire week.
Besides getting to see photos of our members’ pets every day, the second best part of my job at Vetted is how much each minute of the day is different than the last. I’m constantly solving new problems and it allows me to use my creativity in ways I never imagined.
I have a pretty untraditional background for a CTO. I started my career in social media marketing at a creative agency writing copy for clients. I started working on projects where we’d build websites for clients, and in those projects I’d work really closely with the development team, QAing their work and even writing HTML whenever I could. I taught myself how to code in Python (my favorite programming language!). I decided to pursue a career in tech and moved to San Francisco where I started working in tech support. Ten months later, I was promoted to the engineering team. From there, I decided to go to business school where I met Maya. And the rest is history!
I love cuddling with my cat Neko, cooking new recipes, and listening to music on my record player!
Brandi is the Chief of People & Pets - more traditionally Chief of Staff, but, just like her career, nothing is truly traditional. Brandi comes to Vetted with over 10 years of startup experience ranging from tech to fitness, co-working to traditional real estate all with the focus of helping companies build from the ground up. She brings her unique lens of internal business operations and strategies combined with the voice of the customer to Vetted. She lives in Austin but she and her 80 pound German Shepherd, Koda, can be spotted frequently around Oklahoma, her hometown. She loves softball - playing and coaching - and is likely at some sort of field every weekend as one of her personal passion projects is rewriting the athlete experience and what better way to do that than as a coach and mentor to future athletes.

I absolutely love getting to work in the world of pets and pet parents, all day long!

Staring at cute photos of cats and dogs all day is pretty great as well. :)
My background is in Customer Service and Experience, where I started out working on teams and eventually had the opportunity to lead various teams. I’ve been able to work in a wide variety of industries- ranging from accounting firms, bakeries, manufacturing, and even fabricare/dry cleaning! I love solving problems for customers and working with individuals and teams to create a fantastic product everyone can be proud of.
I love to bake (cookies especially, but really anything sweet!). I also love to go for family walks with my dog, Melvin, my husband, Jon, and my daughter, Ellie!
I love getting to work on all things design. From leading user research and designing the user experience of our app, to art directing brand photoshoots and creating a visual language for our graphic assets, there is always something new to create.
I started my artistic practice drawing bunnies in elementary school, and started my UX career as a designer for complex cyber security applications.
I enjoy taking photos, screen printing with friends, hanging out outdoors, and spending quality time with my beautiful shy cat, Luna.

Pet experts inform everything we do.
In addition to our incredible team, we have the Vetted Council — an advisory board of three vets who guide us through everything we do and all that we create at Vetted.
We know that there is SO much information out there about how to raise your pet, which is why we work so closely with our Vetted Council to ensure all of the information we share with you is scientifically-based and individualized to your unique pet.
Forget google, this is information you can trust!
