Experience how your feeling for animals and their needs can lead a small business to blossom into a splendid jewel. The animal owners come with pups, kittens, birds, horses, rodents – 17 different animal types in total – and trust their pets to you. You give them a home, where nothing is lacking: you mix the right foods for them from healthy ingredients, play games with their favorite toys and dress them up. You can also teach them tricks that will leave their owners amazed.

Go shopping in the city for the animals and for yourself: Luxury articles for the enclosure, new clothes for you, medicines and much more. What’s more you’ll learn new and useful things there, and the city’s mayor will reward your efforts with gifts and honors.

On Wii and PC, the player's character can walk around inside the houses whereas on handheld they are static screens (but still in 3D, with largely the same level architecture). The outside map layout is the same, and general gameplay too, with the same animal stats and activities.
