How It Works

An aerial thermal search covers your neighborhood in minutes, not hours.

Our DJI Matrice 30T carries a thermal camera and a spotlight, flown by the same certified pilots who fly our commercial inspection work. A heat signature stands out clearly against cool grass, pavement, and shrubs — even in full dark.

While You Wait For Us

What to do right now, in order.

Check the property thoroughly

Garages, sheds, under decks, dense bushes — scared animals often hide close by rather than run far.

Ask your neighbors

Knock on doors on your block. Many pets are found in a neighboring yard within the first hour.

Walk the immediate neighborhood calmly

Move slowly and keep your voice steady — a panicked call can make a scared animal hide further away.

Post physical flyers

Use a clear, recent photo and your phone number, placed at eye level on nearby corners and posts.

Leave familiar-smelling items outside

A blanket or worn piece of clothing near your door can help guide a pet back home by scent.

Do not leave food outside.

It can attract coyotes, which puts your pet at greater risk. Scent items are safe — food is not.
