Sure Petcare for PC
Reviewed by Apps Playground Editorial Team · Updated

Cat owners who spend their day at a desk benefit from keeping Sure Petcare open on a computer monitor alongside email and messaging apps. The app gives you direct control over your cat flap from a full keyboard and larger display, letting you lock or unlock the door instantly, set curfew routines, and review your pet's entry and exit history without switching to a phone. Running Sure Petcare on PC transforms pet monitoring into a background task you can check and adjust without interruption, especially when you need to react quickly during storms or unexpected situations at home.
Sure Petcare works with dedicated pet door hardware to let you manage your cat's indoor and outdoor access from anywhere. On a desktop or laptop, the app connects to your Sure Petcare Hub and linked devices, giving you a persistent dashboard of activity and control that's easier to read and interact with than mobile-only access.
Tracking and Activity Monitoring
The app logs every time your cat enters or leaves the house, creating a historical record you can review over days, weeks, or longer. This data helps you spot changes in your pet's routine or behavior that might signal a health concern. On a PC, the app stays the activity feed visible in a browser tab alongside other tasks, glancing at real-time updates as your cat comes and goes. The app shows timestamps and can reveal patterns, whether your cat is spending more time outdoors, arriving home later, or moving less than usual.
Remote Access and Curfew Control
Lock or unlock your cat flap from your desktop at any moment, useful when a storm approaches or if you need to keep your pet indoors while you're away. Sure Petcare lets you set curfew routines that automatically lock the flap during specified hours, giving you scheduled security without manual intervention each day. Support for toggle access from a computer means you're not dependent on your phone battery or signal; you can stay in control through a full-size keyboard and screen, making adjustments quickly if your pet's routine changes.
Shared Access for Household and Pet Care
You can grant access to family members, friends, or pet sitters directly from Sure Petcare, controlling what each person is allowed to see or change. On a PC, managing permissions and reviewing who accessed the app and when becomes simpler with a larger interface. This is especially helpful in households with multiple people, or if you hire someone to check on your cat while you travel.
Integration Across Multiple Devices
If you own more than one Sure Petcare connected product (such as cat feeders alongside a pet door) the app consolidates all activity centrally. Running Sure Petcare for Windows PC lets you keep a unified view of your entire pet care setup open throughout your workday, combining door access logs, feeding history, and more in a single window you can monitor passively or get into for detail.

FAQ
What hardware do I need to use Sure Petcare on my computer?
Sure Petcare only works with Sure Petcare 'Connect' products, such as the SureFlap Pet Door Connect or SureFlap Cat Flap Connect. You'll also need a Sure Petcare Hub to establish the connection between your devices and the app. The app itself runs on Windows and other systems, but the hardware is the essential link.
Can I lock my cat outside during specific hours?
Sure Petcare currently offers curfew routines to lock your pet inside at set times, but not an 'outdoor only' lock for specified periods. You can manually lock or unlock the flap anytime, which gives you immediate control if needed.
How quickly does Sure Petcare update when my cat enters or exits?
The app shows entry and exit events with timestamps. Some users report occasional delays in real-time notifications or syncing, particularly if the Hub is placed far from the pet door, so real-time accuracy may vary depending on your setup and network conditions.
Can multiple people access Sure Petcare on the same account?
Yes. You can share access with household members, family, or pet sitters and set individual permissions for what each person can see or control through the app.
Will Sure Petcare work with cats that use RFID collar tags?
Sure Petcare is built to work with microchipped pets, but some users have had success pairing it with RFID collar tags if the built-in microchip reader encounters issues or incompatibility with certain door materials.
