When your pet goes missing, every minute counts. Our thermal imaging drones search large areas quickly, detecting your furry family member even when they’re hiding in areas you can’t safely reach. We cover ground 10x faster than searching on foot.

When our dog Bentley went missing, we did everything you're probably doing right now. Flyers in every mailbox. Facebook posts everywhere. Traps set. Driving around with his blanket hanging out the window. For 8 days we couldn't get any rest. And we found nothing.
When Bentley finally came home on his own, he was badly injured โ what followed were months of pain, recovery, and over $10,000 in veterinary bills. Every day he was out there, the chances of him getting hurt grew.
We truly believe that if we had found him sooner, none of that would have happened. A $500 drone search on day one could have saved us months of heartbreak and thousands of dollars โ but more important than the money, it would have spared Bentley the suffering. That's what hurts the most.
Today, Bentley is happy, healthy, and still kicking strong โ the best companion we could ever ask for. But those months of watching him suffer and recover are something we'll never forget.
Those extra days out there cost him everything โ and cost us more than we ever expected.
That's exactly why we built this service. A thermal drone in the air on day one would have found him in hours and could have prevented all of it. No flyers. No traps. No search parties. We can't promise every story has a happy ending. But we can promise we'll give you something we didn't have โ a real shot at finding them fast.
Don't wait 8 days. Call us first.

When Bentley went missing, we did everything โ flyers, traps, Facebook posts, people searching on foot for days. We drove around with his scented clothes hanging out the window.
For 8 days, nothing.
ย Every day he was out there was another day something could go wrong. We learned that the hard way.

Eight days of no rest. Empty traps. Refreshing Facebook hoping someone had spotted him.
We knew the longer he was out there, the more danger he was in. The longer your pet is missing, the higher the chance they get hurt. We know this because it happened to us.
We'll never stop wondering what he went through out there alone.

What you see in these photos is what 8 days alone did to him. We believe he was struck by a car. He spent those 8 days out there โ alone, scared, and badly hurt.
Don't wait 8 days. Call us first โ every hour they're out there is an hour something like this can happen.
We know. We've lived it.
Call or text us as soon as you realize your pet is missing. Don't wait - the first 24-48 hours are absolutely critical for pet recovery. We'll ask about your pet's description, last known location, and behavior patterns. The faster you contact us, the better the chances we'll find your pet close to home and bring them back safely.
Tell us everything about your pet: size, color, breed, temperament, and any medical conditions. Explain where and when they were last seen, whether they're skittish or friendly, and if there were any triggers (storm, fireworks, etc.). Share details about your neighborhood, nearby wooded areas, or places your pet likes to go. This helps us focus our search on the most likely hiding spots.
We arrive at your location with thermal imaging drones and high-resolution cameras. Our pilot will review the search plan with you, identify the best areas to start based on pet behavior patterns, and prepare our equipment.ย
We fly carefully planned search patterns starting from the last known location and expanding outward. We search yards, wooded areas, fields, and neighborhoods methodically.
We understand that losing a pet is an emergency. We offer rapid response for lost pet situations. We prioritize pet emergencies because we know how critical those first hours are.
Our drones provide exact GPS coordinates when we locate your pet. No more searching the same areas repeatedly or trying to describe a location over the phone. We pinpoint exactly where your pet is hiding so you can reach them quickly and safely - even in difficult terrain or areas you can't easily access.
Our pilots understand pet behavior and know where scared or injured animals typically hide. We know the difference between a dog's heat signature and other animals, understand how pets move when lost, and use that knowledge to search the most likely areas first. This experience dramatically increases our success rate.
Every flight is conducted by FAA Part 107 certified pilots with full commercial liability insurance. We operate legally, safely, and professionally on every job



Yelling for them scares them away. Traps require your pet to find them. Walking the neighborhood takes a lot of man power and many hours and still comes up empty.
Our thermal imaging drones scan yards, fields, wooded areas, and neighborhoods in minutes โ detecting heat signatures regardless of visibility, terrain, or time of day. If your pet is hiding, injured, or too scared to respond, we can still find them.
The sooner you call, the better your odds.
Success rates drop significantly with each passing hour. Our thermal imaging works best when deployed quickly. Call now to maximize your chances of a successful recovery.
