Scout can recognize up to two pets, so you can keep track of them separately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes this device special is the AI descriptions. Scout can recognize when your pet eats, drinks, uses the litter box, or just walks by. It takes pictures and saves daily highlights in the cloud for up to 30 days. To access the AI features, you need to sign up for the standard subscription for $12 a month, or the premium tier for $17 a month.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-life360-gps-pet-tracker-49-99\">Life360 GPS pet tracker \u2013 $49.99<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"453\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3060209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=680,453 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=430,287 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=720,480 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=668,445 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=563,375 563w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=926,617 926w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=708,472 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Life360-Pet-GPS_-Hero.jpg?resize=50,33 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>Life360<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/22\/life360-ventures-into-pet-tech-with-the-launch-of-a-new-gps-tracker\/\">GPS pet tracker<\/a> from <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.life360.com\/pet-safety?icid=nav_pet_safety_us\">Life360 <\/a>is a lifesaver for anyone who worries about their furry friends wandering off.
