Real Reviews from Real Journeys
From international relocations and domestic flights to private ground transport, families trust Cabin Companions to guide their pets safely home.
Chiana EisnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for a pet transport service that truly prioritizes care, communication, and your pets' well-being, look no further because Gabe and Monica are hands down the best!!! I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable, safe, and stress-free experience for my two pups. From the very beginning, Gabe took the time to get to know my dogs, understand their personalities, and make them feel comfortable before the trip. Throughout the entire process, Gabe kept me updated with regular messages and photos,, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dogs were treated with genuine love, patience, and care every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing a transportation service for their pets. Knowing my pups were in such capable and compassionate hands made all the difference. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of my babies! Elia EisnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had a wonderful experience with Gabe and Monica transporting our two dogs from California to North Carolina for our cross country move. The journey was filled with many updates about their adventures and tons of photos along the way. We got an update with a photo every couple of hours including trips to dog parks, rewarding treats, and lots of bedtime snuggles. I think my dogs were hoping we’d adopt Gabe at the end of their roadtrip! I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for trustworthy and caring individuals who will actually care for your animals. The relief Gabe and Monica provided my family and I was immense and made our whole move that much easier in an already stressful time. Gabe, the sweetheart that he is, even got us a housewarming gift of a framed photo of our dogs that we had especially loved from their journey. To go the extra mile just goes to show how special this company truly is and I can’t recommend them enough! Sara ZakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much for your kindness and support throughout this process. You were always very pleasant to communicate with, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into answering each of my questions. Your thoughtful guidance and willingness to help meant a lot to us. We are genuinely grateful for all your assistance. Kelly DayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monica and Gabe were great! They were well organized, prepared, and communicated very well. Our cats get very anxious traveling and they gave us suggestions for medication to discuss with our vet which made a big difference. Highly recommend! Kelly S. MoyesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gabe and Monica made what would have been impossible, possible. I was moving abroad alone with two cats. Gabe was a massive help, even letting me use his upgrade so I was able to get some food on one of our flights. They were responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Can't recommend them enough! Dominic EspositoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gabe and Monica were amazing at organizing and carrying out the move of our two cats across the country. From the very detailed early discussions, the clear travel plan, and the concierge-like service on the day of travel, the whole process was simple and efficient. Everything was planned for and went smoothly from pickup to dropoff, and both cats arrived safe and happy at their new homes! I cannot imagine a better process for something I was very worried about (one of our cats does not travel well normally), and Gabe and Monica clearly showed a real concern for our kitties and their comfort, as well as their obvious experience in handling the process. Could not recommend any higher! Ana Maria GomezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have no words to describe the peace of mind I felt by having Gabe take my sweet dog from San Francisco all the way to Columbus while our family was getting ready to move. Gabe was extremely professional but more importantly he treated my dog like it was his own.... Heidi SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Monica and Gabe highly enough for their services. Not only did they ensure safe transport for my two cats from the US to Paris, they were professional, organized, and reassuring. It's a stressful experience for everyone, and I know my cats benefitted from having competent carriers on the flight. My partner and I are so grateful for their expertise. MelissaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Cabin Companions. They were amazing and took great care of my furry family members. I would use them again in a second. Not only were the cats in caring and capable hands but it took the stress of moving them myself out of the equation during a cross country move. Thanks you Cabin Companions!!! Lauren HowardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. My husband and I moved from DC to Key West and due to a bunch of factors, we had to fly down. We have 2 dogs, one of them is on medication so she can't fly. Plus, they are each 50 pounds of their own brand of crazy. Sweet, but crazy. So, alright, they have to drive down. I found Cabin Companions and it became the easiest part of the trip. Of course, I was nervous. My two dogs. A stranger. 1200 miles to cover. For pickup, Gabe showed up right on time and my dogs immediately liked him (have to mention that because usually they don't). We got an air tag to track their trip and updates throughout their travels. He even showed up with them early which was amazing. AND each dog got a little report card about how they did. Super cute touch. You can tell he cared about my dogs as if they were his own. Their process of booking was easy. They took the time to speak with me and answered all of my questions. Worth every single penny. I can not recommend Cabin Companions enough. I'll be passing their information on to anyone who needs this type of service. Thank you for taking such great care of the dogs!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 29 reviews
