About Mypetzilla
We’re pet owners too
Mypetzilla started at home, with our own pets. We built the place we wanted to use ourselves: a safer way to find a pet online, that puts the animal first.
Our story
Why we started Mypetzilla
A pet is a commitment for the next ten, fifteen, sometimes twenty years. Finding one should feel safe.
We know the excitement of looking for a new companion, and we know how worrying it can be to look online: adverts that tell you almost nothing about the animal, sellers you can’t be sure about, and pressure to send a deposit for a pet you have never met.
So we set out to build something better: somewhere that gives buyers and adopters the information they need, gives honest owners, breeders and rescues a fairer start, and keeps the welfare of the animal at the centre of every advert.

Trust & responsibility
What we do to make it safer
A person checks every advert
Our team reviews each advert before it goes live, and we remove adverts that break our rules.
Adverts follow recognised standards
We follow the Pet Advertising Advisory Group’s minimum standards, so sellers tell you what matters, such as age, health and microchip details.
You can see who is selling
Every advert says whether it comes from a private owner, breeder, business or rescue. We only say a licence is checked once our team has checked it. Seller labels explained.
Your details stay private
You talk through Mypetzilla messages. Phone numbers and emails are never shown on adverts, and an advert shows a town or postcode district, never a home address.
We never take money for a pet
You deal with the seller or rescue directly, and we never hold deposits.
Reviews come from real buyers
Only a buyer a breeder confirmed selling to can review them, and critical reviews are published too. How reviews work.
What we ask of you
Our checks lower the risk. Your care does the rest.
No website can promise that every animal and every seller is exactly as described, and we won’t pretend otherwise. If something feels wrong, use “Report this advert” on the advert. You don’t need an account, and every report goes to our team.
- See the pet in person before you pay anything
- See puppies and kittens with their mother
- Ask for the paperwork: microchip, vaccinations and vet checks
- Walk away from anyone who rushes you
Adoption matters to us
Many of the best pets are waiting in rescue
Alongside pets for sale, we carry adoption adverts from rescues and from owners rehoming their pets, and a directory of rescue centres across the UK.
