Pets We’ve Helped Travel to Mexico
Meet a few of the families who trusted Cabin Companions to help them relocate to Mexico. Each journey is different, but every one reflects the same personalized care, thoughtful planning, and one-on-one support we provide from beginning to end.

Flying Two Cats to Mexico: Tommy & Sneakers’ Journey From Charlottesville to Querétaro
When Melissa relocated from Virginia to Querétaro, Mexico, Tommy and Sneakers traveled right alongside her. With multiple airports, a two-hour delay, medication management, and plenty of Churu along the way, Cabin Companions provided hands-on support from a 5:00 a.m. airport meeting until the family was reunited in their new home.

New Jersey to Mexico: Bindi & Semka’s International Cat Relocation Journey
When Bindi and Semka relocated from New Jersey to Querétaro, Mexico, Cabin Companions provided personalized, in-cabin travel support every step of the way. From careful preparation and airport navigation to a smooth international flight and a quiet arrival, their journey shows how experienced planning can make moving abroad with cats far less stressful for both pets and their family.
TRAVELING TO MEXICO WITH A PET
We Help Bring Every Detail Together
International pet travel involves more than booking a flight. Your pet’s veterinary records, airline requirements, travel carrier, route, timing, and arrival plans all need to work together.
Cabin Companions helps you understand what applies to your specific journey, coordinate the moving pieces, and prepare for travel with confidence. Because requirements can vary by airline, destination, and individual circumstances, every trip begins with a personalized plan—not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Veterinary Preparation
We help you understand the health records, vaccinations, and veterinary documentation that may be needed for your journey.
Airline & Route Planning
We identify practical routes and airline options based on your pet, carrier size, departure city, and destination in Mexico.
Arrival Coordination
We plan beyond the flight itself, including airport arrival, local transportation, and getting you and your pet safely to the next stop.

The Cabin Companions Difference
Not Just Transportation. True Pet Travel Companionship.
Many of the pets we escort are anxious, flying for the first time, or leaving the only home they’ve ever known. That’s why every journey is built around comfort, routine, and individualized care—not simply transportation.
Traditional pet shipping companies are designed to move animals from one place to another. Cabin Companions was built to personally care for pets throughout the entire journey.
One Trusted Team. One Complete Journey.
When you contact Cabin Companions, you’re speaking with the same people who will personally care for your pet during travel. There are no sales representatives handing you off to dispatchers or unknown contractors—just one experienced team guiding your family from your first conversation through your pet’s safe arrival.
Traditional Pet Shipping
The Journey
Your pet travels through a transportation network with multiple handoffs before reaching its destination.
The Team
The people caring for your pet may change throughout the trip, and you may never meet them before travel begins.
The Experience
The primary goal is transporting your pet safely from Point A to Point B.
Communication
Updates are generally limited to shipping milestones rather than ongoing, personal communication.
Cabin Companions
The Journey
One dedicated travel companion remains with your pet from departure through arrival, providing calm, consistent care every step of the way.
The Team
You’ll know exactly who is traveling with your pet before the journey begins, with direct access to them throughout the trip.
The Experience
Every decision is made with your pet’s comfort, routine, and emotional wellbeing in mind—not just the travel itinerary.
Communication
You’ll receive personal updates, photos, and direct communication throughout the journey, so you’re never left wondering how your pet is doing.

Real Reviews From Real Journeys
Families trust Cabin Companions to provide calm, personalized care through every stage of their pet’s journey.
Chiana EisnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for a pet transport service that truly prioritizes care, communication, and your pets' well-being, look no further because Gabe and Monica are hands down the best!!! I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable, safe, and stress-free experience for my two pups. From the very beginning, Gabe took the time to get to know my dogs, understand their personalities, and make them feel comfortable before the trip. Throughout the entire process, Gabe kept me updated with regular messages and photos,, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dogs were treated with genuine love, patience, and care every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing a transportation service for their pets. Knowing my pups were in such capable and compassionate hands made all the difference. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of my babies! Elia EisnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had a wonderful experience with Gabe and Monica transporting our two dogs from California to North Carolina for our cross country move. The journey was filled with many updates about their adventures and tons of photos along the way. We got an update with a photo every couple of hours including trips to dog parks, rewarding treats, and lots of bedtime snuggles. I think my dogs were hoping we’d adopt Gabe at the end of their roadtrip! I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for trustworthy and caring individuals who will actually care for your animals. The relief Gabe and Monica provided my family and I was immense and made our whole move that much easier in an already stressful time. Gabe, the sweetheart that he is, even got us a housewarming gift of a framed photo of our dogs that we had especially loved from their journey. To go the extra mile just goes to show how special this company truly is and I can’t recommend them enough! Sara ZakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much for your kindness and support throughout this process. You were always very pleasant to communicate with, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into answering each of my questions. Your thoughtful guidance and willingness to help meant a lot to us. We are genuinely grateful for all your assistance. Kelly DayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monica and Gabe were great! They were well organized, prepared, and communicated very well. Our cats get very anxious traveling and they gave us suggestions for medication to discuss with our vet which made a big difference. Highly recommend! Kelly S. MoyesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gabe and Monica made what would have been impossible, possible. I was moving abroad alone with two cats. Gabe was a massive help, even letting me use his upgrade so I was able to get some food on one of our flights. They were responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Can't recommend them enough! Dominic EspositoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gabe and Monica were amazing at organizing and carrying out the move of our two cats across the country. From the very detailed early discussions, the clear travel plan, and the concierge-like service on the day of travel, the whole process was simple and efficient. Everything was planned for and went smoothly from pickup to dropoff, and both cats arrived safe and happy at their new homes! I cannot imagine a better process for something I was very worried about (one of our cats does not travel well normally), and Gabe and Monica clearly showed a real concern for our kitties and their comfort, as well as their obvious experience in handling the process. Could not recommend any higher! Ana Maria GomezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.... Heidi SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. MelissaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!! Lauren HowardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. My husband and I moved from DC to Key West and due to a bunch of factors, we had to fly down. We have 2 dogs, one of them is on medication so she can't fly. Plus, they are each 50 pounds of their own brand of crazy. Sweet, but crazy. So, alright, they have to drive down. I found Cabin Companions and it became the easiest part of the trip. Of course, I was nervous. My two dogs. A stranger. 1200 miles to cover. For pickup, Gabe showed up right on time and my dogs immediately liked him (have to mention that because usually they don't). We got an air tag to track their trip and updates throughout their travels. He even showed up with them early which was amazing. AND each dog got a little report card about how they did. Super cute touch. You can tell he cared about my dogs as if they were his own. Their process of booking was easy. They took the time to speak with me and answered all of my questions. Worth every single penny. I can not recommend Cabin Companions enough. I'll be passing their information on to anyone who needs this type of service. Thank you for taking such great care of the dogs!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 29 reviews
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions About Moving Your Pet to Mexico?
Every pet and relocation is different. Here are answers to the most common questions families ask when planning pet travel to Mexico.
What are the requirements for bringing a pet to Mexico?
Mexico’s entry requirements vary depending on the type of pet and your country of departure, but most cats and dogs entering from the United States need to be healthy upon arrival and meet current import requirements. We help our clients understand exactly what documentation, vaccinations, and airline requirements apply before travel so there are no surprises.
Can my cat or small dog fly in the cabin to Mexico?
Yes. Many airlines allow cats and small dogs to travel safely in the cabin, provided they meet the airline’s carrier size and weight requirements. Whenever possible, Cabin Companions specializes in keeping pets with people—not in cargo—throughout the journey.
Which airlines fly pets in the cabin to Mexico?
Several major airlines serving Mexico allow in-cabin pet travel, although policies vary by carrier, aircraft, and route. We help clients choose pet-friendly flights and coordinate reservations to maximize comfort and minimize stress for both you and your pet.
Can Cabin Companions escort my pet if I can’t travel?
Yes. If you’re unable to travel yourself, one of our experienced companions can personally escort your pet from pickup through reunion with your family in Mexico. Your pet remains with the same dedicated companion throughout the journey.
Can you help with more than one pet?
Yes. We regularly help families traveling with multiple cats and dogs. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the safest and most practical travel plan based on your pets, airline policies, and destination.
How far in advance should I start planning?
We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially during busy travel seasons. Airlines often limit the number of pets allowed in the cabin on each flight, and advance planning gives us the greatest flexibility in building the best itinerary for your family.
What happens during a Cabin Companions journey?
Before travel, we help coordinate documentation, airline reservations, and your travel plan. On travel day, your dedicated companion manages check-in, TSA, in-flight care, layovers, and arrival—providing updates along the way so you always know how your pet is doing.
How do I get started?
It starts with a conversation. Tell us about your travel plans, your pet, and your timeline, and we’ll recommend the safest and most comfortable way to get your companion to Mexico. From there, we’ll build a personalized travel plan tailored to your journey.
