You’re vying for a spot as Pet Parent of the Year, so of course you want to know the best apps for dog and cat lovers. Whether it’s taking better care of your pets or communicating better with them, the latest apps make it easy and fun. Here is DogTime and CatTime’s top 10 list:

1. Catbook (Poolhouse Enterprises)

Like the name implies, it’s like that other social network, but for 1 million cats and their people. You can keep a diary of your kitty’s activities, find other cats by breed or location, and “friend” likeminded feline friends…but don’t be catty.

2. Cat Fishing (Purina)

Dogs don’t have to have all the fun. If your kitty loves to fish or even if she loves watching them swim, she’ll have a paw-some time with this game. Tap start on an iPad and your cat can use her paws to fish to her heart’s content. Plus, the game gets harder with every fish caught.

3. DoggieDatez (Appetite Labs)

Walking your pup just got a lot more interactive and fun. A social network for dog lovers, DoggieDatez is a GPS-based app that allows users to find other pooches nearby by “marking their territory” and “friend” them to play games.

4. Dog Translator (Ronald Bell)

Always guessing what Rex is trying to tell you when he barks? Now you don’t have to. This app lets users record their dog’s barks and analyzes them to tell you what he’s really trying to say. No more crystal tennis ball!

5. DogVacay (Dog Vacay, Inc.)

Problem: You have to find a dog sitter and a good one fast and you want to get updates on him while you’re away. Solution: DogVacay app. This handy app allows you to schedule a vetted, insured dog sitter who can send daily photo updates right to your smartphone.
