YardFence

YardFence is a mobile app that helps dog owners quickly assess and fix backyard escape risks. Instead of generic tips, it guides you through a structured “walk-the-perimeter” checklist, logging weak spots like gaps under gates, loose boards, dig zones, latch failures, and climb points. You snap photos, mark locations on a simple yard map, and get prioritized fixes with cost ranges and difficulty levels. The app also schedules reminders for re-checks after storms, landscaping work, or seasonal ground shifts. For renters or people who can’t rebuild fencing, it suggests realistic containment alternatives (temporary panels, tie-out best practices, supervised zones) and flags unsafe options. It’s not glamorous, but it prevents the most expensive outcome: a lost or injured dog. Platform: mobile app (iOS/Android). Type: traditional app with light AI (photo-based issue labeling).
