Jiobit GPS Dog & Cat Location Monitor, Gen 2

So far, I like this tracker for my cat. I am still figuring it out, like how far my cat can wander off and still be tracked.(?) Ideally, I would not let him outside but he is a rescue and he loves going out in the front yard. He cries and cries and I feel like I’m breaking his soul if I keep him inside 24/7. This tracker allows me to compromise with Bones. He gets to have some excitement and I get peace of mind knowing I will be alerted on my phone if he wanders off.

Worked for less then 1 month. Customer service told me I had to buy a new device because of the “dents” on the back to the device. The “dents” were what you would expect of a pet wearing something on their collar while outside. The device was not damaged. When it worked, the battery only lasted 1 day and it had to be removed every night to charge. Definitely does not have battery life as advertised. I have replaced jiobit with an Apple Airtag and am much happier with smaller and less expensive option that does not require charging.

I do not recommend this for cats. I have 2 cats and got two trackers. 1 cat stays close to home and his is no problem, but my other cat likes to wander farther away. Jiobit says their batteries last 7 - 20 days but that is not the case if you have a wandering pet. Her battey dies after 12 hours. This week I was unable to get her home before her battery died and now she's gone. When I inquired with jiobit I was told that cats have "unique patterns" and it makes the jiobit work harder. So if you are looking for a tracker for you cat that wanders I would look elsewhere. I am sitting here very sad today that I was unable to get my girl back.

I love this little device!! It is so lightweight and portable. We are using it to keep track of our office cat, so that is a must. Real-time information has been spot-on as well. The only problem I possibly foresee is Tiger Lily managing to get her collar off yet again, but hey, at least we will be able to find it!

Unfortunately I bought this for my cat since it has pretty good reviews. However since it has a plastic covering my cat decided he liked to teeth on it so that ended up ruining the Jiobits location. I am getting no refunds so it was a total loss of money and subscription fees after paying for three months. This device is nowhere pet friendly since it is made of plastic unless your pet has no teeth. My cat only wore it a few hours on the weekend when I had company over just in case he got outside. Not recommended.

I've had two of these devices for several months now and they are worth the investment. I use them on my two dogs. They are accurate and provide peace of mind. I was nervous purchasing GPS devices. I did a lot of research on them before I purchased. All of the different brands had reviews that questioned the accuracy of the devices. Accuracy is everything for a GPS monitor so if it's not accurate, there's no point in buying it. This brand is accurate, I have tested it myself. I had someone take my dogs for a walk to a random location in my neighbourhood and I used the tracking system to locate them. It pinged me to alert me once they were outside of my geofence and I was then able to see I've had two of these devices for several months now and they are worth the investment.

It pinged me to alert me once they were outside of my geofence and I was then able to see exactly what street they were on. It even had an option to open their coordinates in Google Maps. The several different ways to attach the device is handy. I use the belt clip and have it attached to my dog's collars. They haven't fallen off once so they are definitely secure. The tool makes it quick and easy to pop them off when I need to charge them. It sends an alert when the devices are low on battery which is super handy. They come with convenient charging docks, you just pop them in and they start charging. They also alert you once they are fully charged. They have a decent battery life. They last about 2 weeks for mine. I've seen some reviews for other GPS devices saying they would alert them that their pet was outside the geofence when they weren't really. I haven't had this issue with these devices at all. When they are close, it shows that I'm connected to them via bluetooth. It even shows a bar to demonstrate how close they are to me while connected via bluetooth. The only issue I've experienced is one of them went offline and refused to work for a while. I contacted their support and they sent a replacement. I haven't had any other issues since then. Jiobit don't have any live customer services which is inconvenient. You can only contact them via email. It takes them a day or two to reply to emails but their quality of service is high at least. Once they reply to your first email, their response time is typically within a few hours so you can have a conversation. Overall, I highly recommend this device. It works as advertised and ensures I will know exactly where my dogs are, if they ever escape. … more

For the longest time I never knew where my indoor/outdoor cat went, now I do. I know where he goes, when he goes there, how long he stays, the path he walks, and when he returns. This is a huge relief, especially after he went missing for a week last summer. The battery does not last a week, however. Maybe if he were to be immediately around the house (the GPS disables when aware of home WiFi or my phone's Bluetooth, saving tons of battery - a great feature) but when he's roaming outside much of the time I charge it up daily. Charging has already become an easy routine though, I unclip it from his collar and place it in the dock for an hour or two and I'm back at 100%.

But again, the tracking WORKS. To me this is worth the price of the unit and the $8.99/month service fee (that price with a two year contract). My cat doesn't seem to find it uncomfortable at all and has not indicated that he even notices it. I get a phone notification when my cat comes to the front door and a log of all his outings for the past week. Where did he go from 1:30-2:00am last night, I can watch his little path on the map!! 4/5 stars because the seven day battery claim is so misleading, but I'm perfectly happy with the Jiobit even with daily charging. This is incredible. I can see where my cat goes. A total revolution, I can't imagine going back. … more

I got this for my cat and so far so good. He left the trusted zone once and I found him right away. The only thing is if it’s in the trusted zone (which you set up) , you can’t zero in on the exact location. I worry about it falling off in the trusted zone and me not being able to find it. I stuck a tabcat on him too for this. All in all, I like it and it gives me piece of mind.

At first the Jiobit seemed like it might not be worth it. I couldn't figure out how to track my cat, who is slightly disabled, and only goes out in the yard when I am home during the day. He does slip away sometimes though and I spent all last spring/summer looking for him and getting calls from neighbors who he had gone to visit. After the first week, I figured out that I could Map where the tracker was and see his location. The first time he left the "safe zone" it took some time for it to alert me, because he was far by the time it did. But the Jiobit seemed to get smarter and it started alerting me more quickly. Now I can see where he is, and it is usually just down the back yard hill. When At first the Jiobit seemed like it might not be worth it.

It is a great comfort to know he is "just over there" and not half way down the street. Jiobit is worth it and I love it! Oh, also he doesn't even notice it is on. We use the little pouch, which does seem to be wearing quickly, but it is obviously no bother to our little cat. The proof is in the picture. Thank you! … more

Got this for an RV trip around the country because I wanted our cat to be able to roam but be easy to find when it was time to move again. It's works great. The only problem is that I'm getting at most 2 days out of a full charge (often less). The device is unobtrusive enough that the cat doesn't mind wearing it and it hasn't resulted in the breakaway collar falling off.
