🐾 About Us

What Pet Should I Get? was dreamed up by Emilia Fernandez, age 9 — the creative genius and inspiration behind this whole site. 🌟

Emilia is an avid animal lover who spends hours every week researching pets and learning everything she can about them — from the best food for a leopard gecko to how to keep guinea pigs happy. She wanted to build a place that helps other kids and families find the perfect animal friend for them, and care for it the right way.

That's exactly what this site does. Our quiz, Pet Finder, and breed finder match your family's space, time, budget, and lifestyle to real animals, and every pet has an honest care guide covering both the fun parts and the challenges. We always encourage families to adopt from a local shelter or rescue first.

We're a friendly guide, not a substitute for professional advice. Always talk to a veterinarian, shelter, or experienced breeder before bringing home a pet — and have fun finding your new best friend!
