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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is full-service relocation different from a pet shipping service?

Full-service pet relocation is fully personalized and fully escorted. Your pet travels with a dedicated companion (Gabe or Monica), never alone or with third-party handlers. We provide door-to-door care — no cargo-only shipping, no handoffs, and continuous updates.

Will I receive live tracking and updates?

Yes! All clients receive live tracking via AirTag, plus continuous updates from your personal escort throughout the trip.

What types of pets do you relocate?

We specialize in relocating cats and dogs, but can also accommodate small animals on a case-by-case basis. Every trip is custom-planned for your pet’s needs.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks in advance whenever possible. For moves during busy travel seasons (summer, holidays), earlier booking ensures best options. We can also accommodate short-notice or emergency relocations — just reach out!

Do you provide international pet relocation?

Yes — we assist with both domestic and international pet relocation. For international moves, we’ll help guide you through all required paperwork and import/export regulations to ensure a seamless trip.

What does full-service relocation typically cost?

Domestic trips typically start at $1500–$2500 depending on distance and logistics. International moves start around $3000+. Every relocation is custom-quoted based on your pet’s needs and travel details.
