Your Pet’s Social Media with Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs

The Trifecta of Joy

Jun 18 2023 • 35 mins

Pets are a beautiful piece of raising our vibration!

We often give them personalities, voices, and so much more, and they bring us JOY in a unique way! In this conversation with the creators of the app PETZBE, Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose  we explore how our pets bring peace, joy, creativity, and a different understanding of the world.   In an effort to create “the cutest community on the planet”, PETZBE is a neutral space to showcase the world through our pet’s perceptions.

When Andrea Nerep realized how common it is for pet parents to make up voices for their pets - a common psychological phenomenon called anthropomorphism that makes us more empathetic and connected, she began the mission of creating a space where there are “no humans allowed”.  The bond we develop with our pets creates a connection many humans share, and this is another way to connect and foster empathy. Chelsea Rose Riggs combines her love for photography and love of animals to create a unique pathway for pets and owners to connect in a safe, creative, and simply FUN way! This conversation will have you thinking about your relationship with your pet differently!

In this episode we also discuss:

-    Pandemic pets

-    The therapeutic role of pets

-    Pets and depression

-    Safer social media

-    Fostering inclusivity in neutral ground online

-    Presence as a practice with pets

-    Mental health, empathy, compassion, connection

-    entertainment and fun!

About the Guest:

Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.”

PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members.

Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet’s photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member’s content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.
