About SoulPal
Truth is, my dog isn't the only one with separation anxiety — I've got it too.
Every time I leave, I miss him like crazy. So we turned that into a game we play across distance.
SoulPal turns his day into a living pixel avatar. When he's active, I see it. When he rests, I know. Not surveillance, a shared language between two creatures who miss each other.
The question we started with
What if leaving your pet didn't have to mean dropping out of each other's day?
Every time I walked out the door, I'd check the camera from the office and there he'd be — my 9-year-old Corgi KK, curled up by the entrance, waiting. I always knew exactly where he was. I just never knew how he was feeling.
GPS tells you location. Cameras show you pictures. But neither answers the question that actually matters: what's it like to be him right now?
What we believe
Pets don't speak. That's obvious, but we forget what it means. It means every tail wag, every nap position, every change in routine is a sentence they're trying to say. Most of us miss it. Not because we don't care. It's because we're not there to see it.
SoulPal exists to create connection moments between you and your pet, even when you're apart.
Not surveillance. Not medical diagnosis. Just a way to stay present in each other's lives. To notice patterns, share little joys, and gradually understand who they are when you're not looking.
How it works
The collar gathers simple signals: movement, rest, location, routine. The app translates them into a pixel "digital twin", a living, moving avatar of your pet's day.
You might see your Shiba's avatar bouncing around at noon and realize, that's when the mailman comes. You might notice your Corgi's sleep pattern shift and remember, we changed kibble last week.
Over time, these small observations add up. You start to know them better. Not through a data dashboard, but through daily conversations with their digital self.
Where we're headed
We're building basic health tracking too, sleep quality, activity trends, and gentle nudges when something in their routine changes. Let's be honest, it's not perfect yet. The sensors have limits. The algorithms learn slowly.
But we're committed to getting there. SoulPal is a long game. We'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than sell you a medical device that isn't ready.
Every update, every improvement, every new feature comes from one place: we're building the product we want for our own pets.
Who we are
We're Lissy and Jet — a wife-and-husband team, and that's the whole company. Jet builds the hardware and the backend; I handle the design, the pixels, and talking to people like you.
SoulPal started with a problem we couldn't solve for our own pets. KK, our 9-year-old Corgi, is our anxious one — he hates being left behind. Aigo, our 4-year-old Shiba, is the opposite, independent and aloof, off doing his own thing, and yet we still wondered what his day was actually like. (Our newest, a 2-month-old Abyssinian kitten, is busy teaching us that cats keep their own secrets too.) We tried cameras and GPS trackers, but they only told us where our pets were, not how they were.
We didn't start SoulPal because we saw a market opportunity. We started it because we had the same itch every pet parent has: our pets make us happy, and we want to give some of that happiness back.
So we're building it ourselves. Hardware that pets actually want to wear. Software that feels like a conversation, not a report. A company that moves slowly on promises and fast on improvements.
If you believe pets and people should stay connected, not just located, not just monitored, but truly linked, you're the reason we're building this.
