Meet our founder
Iāve always been passionate about innovationābefore launching PupList, I was Head of Solutions at TikTok. But my true passion? Changing the way we shop for our pets.
After struggling to find an easy, seamless way to celebrate my own pets and curate the best products, I knew there had to be a better way. So, I created PupListāa platform designed to make pet gifting, shopping, and planning easier (and way more fun).
With a deep love for animals and a data-driven approach to pet care, I built PupList to help pet parents everywhere find the perfect products, services, and experiences for their furry family members.
My mission? To change the pet industry fureverāone registry at a time.
- First-time pup parent or a seasoned dog owner, we're here to support you every step of the way!
A love storyābut with more fur
Our founder, Jessica Karcz, was busy trying to change the world through non-profits in Washington, D.C.š, when a four-legged tornado named Buddy came crashing in. š¾š„ Becoming a dog mom was everythingāpure joy, endless cuddles, and, wellā¦ absolute mayhem. Potty training disasters, surprise vet bills, and one too many chewed-up shoes (RIP, favorite heels š)āturns out, raising a pup was way harder (and pricier) than expected.
Friends wanted to help, but the gifts? Adorable, but not always what a new pet parentĀ actuallyĀ needs. Pee pads? Yes. That 12th stuffed toy? Maybe not. Thatās when it hit herāwhy wasnāt there a registry for pets, just like for weddings and babies? š¤
Determined to fix it, Jessica got to work. She dreamed up a space where pet parents could easily curate must-haves, share wishlists with family and friends, and discover the best products personalized to their petās breed, lifestyle, and quirks (yes, even that cat who only drinks from the sink). š
EnterĀ PupListāthe first-ever pet gift registry and curated shopping experience built for modern pet parents, launched in 2024. š Whether youāre celebrating a birthday, gotcha day, or just because your dog is theĀ bestestĀ boy/girl, PupList makes it effortless to find the perfect gifts, get custom breed specific & lifestyle product recommendations, and even compare grooming, vet, and insurance options.
But weāre not stopping at giftingāweāre here to shake up pet shopping furever. š„ With smart, breed-specific curation and aĀ Pup CareĀ tool coming soon, PupList is taking pet parenthood to the next level.
So whether your pup is a sock-stealing troublemaker or your cat has VIP taste, weāve got them covered. šš
