If your computer and phone are on the same wifi, you too can play petz on the go (by 'go' i mean in your bed or somewhere nearby!) B)
Step 1: Download Steam Link onto your mobile device from the appstore
Step 2: Pair your device with your computer by going to Settings>Remote Play> and “Pair Steam Link”
Step 3: Once paired, start up Steam Link on your device and select “Start Playing”, it will open Steam in Big Picture Mode and will place a default controller layout on your screen. Leave this running and in app while you edit your controls or they won't show up!
Step 4: On your device, you will then need to go to the button in the corner of the screen with a trackpad and three dots on it, the app will not let you move your mouse by default but go to this button and click on the arrow next to the “Mouse Disabled” square until you get to either “Track Pad” or “Direct Cursor” (your preference! Though track pad is best for petz I think)
Step 5: While keeping your paired device turned on in the Steam Link app, on desktop, in big picture mode, go to Controller> scroll down until you see “Non-Game Controller Layouts” and Edit the one called “desktop”
Step 6: If it asks you to enable steam input, do it! Then select “Edit Layout”
Step 7: In “Buttons” scroll down to the controller function you want to replace. For example, under “buttons” you would scroll down to Bumpers and under “LB Executes 1 Command” there is “Command 1” where you might put “Mouse 1” or “Alt”.
Step 8: Once you’ve edited your desired keys, hop on the device that is using steam link, exit Big Picture Mode to get to your desktop and select “Layout Controls”. You should see the buttons you assigned lit up, unassigned buttons are grayed out. Now you can drag the buttons around your screen, when done editing just hit “X” in the top right twice to return to your screen!

Step 9: In Steam Link, exit big picture mode if you haven't, and navigate to where you normally run the Petz game from and dont run it as administrator, Windows does not like giving remote access to things run in administrator! Set your desktop resolution to be 1024x768 and you should be set! Below is a picture of what mine looks like when playing.
