Skip the toys. Give them an experience they'll never forget.

How It Works

Discover,
Care, Return

Each rental includes a themed care kit, a habitat setup, and a kid-friendly care guide filled with fun learning activities.

Kids explore what it really means to care for a living creature while building confidence, responsibility, and genuine curiosity about the natural world.

When the rental ends, we come pick up the critter and all supplies. You keep the knowledge, the excitement, and the memories.

A pet for now. A friend for life.
