RoamFree Pet GPS Tracker
Sleeps while your pet is home. Wakes the moment they leave.
RoamFree learns your home Wi-Fi during setup and rests while your pet is there – so one charge lasts weeks, not days. When they leave, it wakes, tells you, and sends a location every minute.

Pricing
What you’ll actually pay.
The tracking platform is free for life – alerts, history, geofences and unlimited pets on one account, always included.
How it works
It learns where home is.
Most pet trackers never switch off. RoamFree recognises your home Wi-Fi and the safe zone around your house, and while your pet is there it rests – no GPS, no reports, almost no battery. It isn’t watching a cat sleep on the couch.
The moment your pet leaves and starts moving, it wakes, sends you an alert, and follows them with a fresh location every minute until they’re back.
The alert that matters
“Bella left home.” The message the moment it matters.
An alert when your pet leaves your property, and another when they’re safely back. Add an emergency contact for each pet so the whole household knows, not just you.
While they’re out, follow them live on the map, minute by minute – and share a link so a neighbour can help search without needing your account.
Finder button
If someone finds them, one press finds you.
Hold the button on the tracker for five seconds and it sends its exact location straight to you and your emergency contact. A neighbour, a passer-by, the person who opens their gate to a wet dog – they don’t need your number, an app, or to know what it is.
Coverage
Reaches where phones don’t.
Pets don’t stay where the signal is good. RoamFree runs on the Vodacom NB-IoT network, built to reach into rural and low-signal areas where ordinary 4G trackers go quiet – the farm road, the veld behind the estate, the neighbour’s garage.
And unlike a Bluetooth tag, it doesn’t depend on someone else’s phone walking past.
In the field
Already tracking across South Africa.
Every pin is a city where Horizen GPS’s are up and running – from the big metros to the smaller towns.

Battery
Weeks of battery – because it doesn’t watch a sleeping pet.
Battery life depends on your pet. A homebody who rarely leaves the yard: up to three weeks between charges. A pet out an hour or two a day: one to two weeks. An all-day adventurer: every few days.
And because it sleeps at home, it’s near-full when it counts. When your pet does go missing, you’ve got 17 hours of minute-by-minute tracking from that moment – and the clock only runs while they’re moving. A cat lying low under a shed isn’t draining it.
Recharges with the included magnetic cable.
Fit
Small enough for cats. Tough enough for farm dogs.
35 g and matchbox-sized, in a flexible silicone case that fits most collars and harnesses – best on straps 20 mm and wider. Collar for dogs and bigger pets; harness for smaller animals (neck under 30 cm), which also gives the case the wider strap it fits best on. Tapered loops, no rings, no dangling parts.
IP68 waterproof, built for South African pets in South African conditions – suburban gardens to smallholdings.
Alerts & connectivity
Alerts straight to you – and to whoever else would go and look.
Left home, back home, moving while away, low battery, finder button – as push notifications on your phone, or on WhatsApp if you prefer. Left home, back home and the finder button also reach the emergency contact you set for each pet, on WhatsApp.
Your entire first year is included free: connectivity and unlimited WhatsApp alerts. After 12 months, R20/month keeps it connected and your alerts keep coming as push notifications – or keep WhatsApp on Connected (R99/month). Your choice, no contract.
