What Our Clients Say

Gabe was a ROCKSTAR! Not only was he able to accommodate my last minute request, but he was so helpful and understanding every step of the way, even taking the time to do a call while I was out of town to make sure I knew what I needed to do. He met us at the airport and stayed with my cat, providing updates (and treats) often! 10/10 would recommend Cabin Companions to anyone. Thank you, Gabe!

Honestly amazing people to work with they are flexible and want to help you in any way possible for you and your pet. Need someone on the same flight as you to help? They will. Need someone to just find flight information and paper work? They will. They are also very communicative and helpful every step of the way. Great people doing great work

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.
