What Pet Parents Are Saying About Cabin Companions

From responding promptly to our request, providing a comprehensive explanation and quote for the moving process and the actual move, Cabin Companions were helpful, thorough and efficient. They kept me updated from the pick up to the drop off on how my cat was doing. Honestly, they made a stressful process very simple. Our cat is happily settled and we especially appreciated Gabe’s photo updates. Definitely recommend them for your pet travel needs.

Extremely pleased with the service provided by Gabe and Monica. They made transporting my cat, Burt, easy, safe and comfortable during a busy period in my life. Highly recommend should you be in the need of their services.

Gabe and Monica know what they are doing, and love what they do! Our two large dogs are unable to fly on any airline due to breed restrictions, and it was so relieving to find Cabin Companions who were set up to hit the road with them. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of our boys, and communicating with us start to finish.
