From our very first conversation with Gabe and Monica to the transferring of our cat back into our care, the experience with Cabin Companions was excellent. Our cat hates to travel but was taken very good care of by Gabe as she flew from Las Vegas, NV to her new home with us in Maine. Gabe was always willing to make accommodation for changes in plan. We could not recommend Cabin Companions more highly. - Beth J.
