What Our Clients Say

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....

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.

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!!!

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.
