Fly Your Dog In-Cabin With a Dedicated Companion — Never Alone, Never Handed Off.

Your dog stays with us — in-cabin, supervised, and loved from takeoff to landing.

Whether you’re adopting a puppy, relocating with your companion, or arranging a cross-country reunion, we’ll create a personalized plan for your dog’s journey. They’ll travel in-cabin with us — never handed off, never alone — and if any other arrangements are needed, we’ll stay with them every step of the way.

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.

What Dog Parents Ask Us Most (FAQS)

Who will be flying with my dog?

Every trip is personally handled by Monica or Gabe — the owners of Cabin Companions. We never outsource to third parties or unknown handlers.

Can my dog fly in-cabin?

In many cases, yes — especially for small or medium-sized dogs. We’ll review airline policies and help determine the best travel setup for your dog.

What if my dog is too big for in-cabin travel?

We’ll still accompany your dog the entire way. Whether they’re in-cabin or require alternate arrangements, we stay with them and ensure a safe, calm journey.

Do you offer international dog transport?

Yes, we can assist with international travel and paperwork. We’ll guide you through health certificates, airline rules, and customs — and escort your dog personally.

My dog has special needs. Can you help?

Absolutely. We’re experienced with senior dogs, anxious travelers, and pups that need medication or extra support. Just let us know what they need — we’ll build the plan around them.
