Cabin Companions Pet Travel Reviews

Paula Marron-Poitras 2025.12.18

     

From our first Zoom interview with Gabe to the time he finally delivered our fur baby to our destination, we were completely impressed with Cabin Companions. Most importantly, Gabe was able to deal effectively with adversity: First of all, he was able to get our very highly sensitive cat through TSA with no problems. Secondly, when the original flight to our destination was delayed for several hours, Gabe was able to think quickly, and find an alternative flight that got our cat back to us only 45 minutes late. We would recommend Cabin Companions to anyone.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We were truly touched by how deeply you care for Rascal, and it was an honor to help bring such a clearly loved cat safely home!

Travel days don’t always go exactly as planned, and I’m glad we were able to navigate TSA smoothly and pivot quickly when the flight delay came up so Rascal could be back with you as quickly as possible. Your trust from our very first Zoom call through final delivery meant a great deal to us.

Thank you again for trusting Cabin Companions with Rascal and for the kind recommendation to other pet parents — it truly means the world.

Gabe was wonderful from start to finish in the process of taking care of getting my cat, Millie, to France. This was a very stressful time in general and having him handle the ins and outs of how to get her safely to France with the least amount of stress to me was totally worth it. I met with him personally and could tell he was an animal lover and would care for her like I would, but he was able to do it completely focused on her. The peace of mind knowing she was in the cabin with Gabe as opposed to cargo was priceless. Millie is my baby and I would not hesitate to use Cabin Companions if you are looking for quality service. He brought her right to my door and by the next day she was totally fine and happy with her surroundings.

Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words. It truly means a lot to hear that we could help make such a big transition feel calmer — and Millie was an absolute joy to travel with. Knowing she arrived happy, settled, and feeling at home right away is exactly what we hope for. And of course, traveling in cabin instead of cargo makes all the difference. Peace of mind is priceless, especially when it comes to our babies.

Please give Millie a big hug from us — we hope she’s enjoying life in France and settling in très bien. Merci again for trusting Cabin Companions with her journey!

Cabin Companion was incredible from start to finish. They had every step of the process worked out that was easy to understand. They were there for any questions or concerns with knowledgeable experienced answers. My cat "Tiger" gets anxious for a 10min car ride so I needed someone experienced and caring. Gabe and Monica kept us updated throughout the fur babies journey with photos. It is obvious they care about your pet's comfort, safety and emotional well being. My sister used them for her 2 cats and my parents and I trusted them with our cats as well from NY to Thailand. I highly recommend their service to any fur baby parent.

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review. It truly means the world to us that you trusted us with Tiger — especially knowing how anxious he can be with travel. We’re so glad we could make the journey as calm and comfortable as possible for him.

It was an honor to help your family, and we’re especially touched that your sister, parents, and you all placed your trust in us. Keeping pets safe, comfortable, and emotionally supported is always our top priority, and it means a lot to hear that came through.

Please give Tiger a gentle scritch from us, and thank you again for recommending Cabin Companions to other pet parents!

We had a wonderful experience with Cabin Companions in bringing our new cat home. We worked with Gabe and he did a wonderful job picking a travel itinerary that was the least stressful for our furry friend and when she arrived you could tell she had been loved on and well taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for better service. If we ever need cat transport again we will definitely use cabin companions.

We are so glad to hear your cat’s trip home went smoothly. We take pride in keeping every pet in-cabin, loved, and by our side from start to finish — so it’s wonderful to know that care came through when she arrived. Wishing you many happy years together (and plenty of purrs along the way). Thanks for trusting us with the lovely Dixie Belle!

I cannot speak highly enough of Cabin Companions. We had so many last-minute, seemingly disastrous incidents with our move abroad, but we were never once worried about the safety or health of our cats because of their service. From start to finish, Cabin Companions took away the stress of figuring out all of the USDA certification paperwork, managing our cats through the airport, and even helping us through customs in Spain. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone moving abroad with a beloved pet!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. We know no two trips are the same — especially when moving abroad — and it means a lot to hear you always felt your cats were safe and cared for. They were such calm, affectionate travelers and handled every step beautifully – and so did you!. It was a pleasure seeing them settle in safely on the other side. 🇪🇸🐾 Congrats on your move!

I just moved from Michigan to Florida a d had Cabin Companions transport my dog and 2 cats...1 of which is feral. I was very nervous and anxious about the whole trip but especially how my feral, Charlie was going to do. They gave me tips on how to get him in a crate, etc. We spoke on the phone a few times and they were very reassuring and supportive. They arrived after a 20 hour drive and acted like it was no big deal. I would recommend them highly.

Thank you so much for sharing this, and for trusting us with your crew — especially Charlie! We know how stressful it can be to move, let alone with a feral cat in the mix, and it means the world that you felt supported throughout the process. Our goal is always to make the trip as calm and comfortable as possible for both pets and their people. Wishing you all the best as you settle into sunny Florida! 🐾

Gabe and Monica at Cabin Companions did an amazing job helping me move my beloved cat, Ramona, internationally from the United States. They were great partners in navigating/working through the confusing (and often contradicting) paperwork and regulations throughout the pre-move process and maintained composure and flexibility when our plans needed to change! Monica was incredible with Ramona during the move, making her feel so safe and comfortable to the point that Ramona was quiet the entire 11-hour flight (unheard of!). Monica and Gabe also stayed with Ramona in a hotel in our destination country for a few extra days while I got the apartment set up for her, sending me pictures and updates the entire time. When Ramona got to my apartment, I was expecting her to be at least slightly traumatized after such a long trip - instead, she was perfectly happy and calm, as if nothing had even happened! I would recommend Cabin Companions to anyone who needs help traveling with their pet. The stress relief of having Monica & Gabe taking such great care of Ramona was worth every cent!

Thank you so much for your kind words, and for trusting us with Ramona’s international relocation! We absolutely adored her — such a snuggle bug and total pro traveler. ❤️

We know how stressful international pet travel can be, especially with all the paperwork and changing airline rules, so it means the world that you felt supported from start to finish. Seeing Ramona so calm and content after her long in-cabin journey was the best reward. We’re thrilled she’s settling in so happily, and it was truly an honor to be part of her adventure.

Cabin Companions have truly been a blessing with helping me move with my 2 cats. There is so much that goes into moving with pets especially when it is a long haul international trip. They were with me each step of the way from planning to filling out forms (with each step clearly marked out). They were also my emotional support when curveballs happened during the process and kept me from bursting into tears. I could not have done it without all of their expertise and care along each step. They were also always readily available with communication during the entire process. They have been so helpful and caring that my family will be trusting them with their pets as well.

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. 😊🐈‍⬛✈️🧡

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to help your girl make the journey from Las Vegas to Maine, and we’re so glad she’s settling into her new home. We know how stressful travel can be for cats — especially those who aren’t fans of change — so hearing that she felt safe and cared for means the world to us.

Please give her a scratch behind the ears from us, and don’t hesitate to reach out if we can ever help again!

Cabin Companions rescued me from an impossible travel situation: 1 person and 3 dogs who needed to fly across the country and back. Gabe and the Cabin companions operation made it all possible through professionalism, excellent organization and communication, kind-heartedness, pet saavy, and amazing people and pet care skills. I am grateful to them and look forward to working with them again to make a challenging travel experience into a fun time. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this kind review! It was such a joy to travel alongside you, Dash, Duckie, and Andre — crossing the country together made for an unforgettable adventure, and we’re so glad we could help turn a complex trip into something smooth, safe, and genuinely fun.

We’re grateful for your trust (and your incredible crew of pups!) and we can’t wait to work with you again whenever the next journey comes around. Give the boys some extra love from us — they were total stars. 🐾✈️

We wanted to say thank you so much for taking such good care of Eros and Cleo on the long trip! Before making the decision to move to Spain we made an agreement that the only way we’d go is if we brought the whole family and you made that possible for us. What you do is truly amazing and we are grateful we found Cabin Companions. Thanks again for everything!

Greg, thank you — this made our day. Getting Eros and Cleo safely to Spain was such a pleasure, and we’re so happy we could help you keep the whole family together for this next adventure.

We know how much love those two are surrounded by (and how much personality they bring!), so it was an honor to be their travel guide. Thanks again for trusting us — and for being such awesome humans to work with.

Wishing you all nothing but sunny days and cozy cat naps ahead!

Absolutely fantastic! They made it easy. We were definitely not the easiest clients but they were always calm and reassuring. Our dogs were very well cared for and we were kept informed the entire time. Many years ago we flew with one of our dogs and getting the right kennel with all the right attachments and all the correct documents was horrible, not to mention pushing dogs around the airport with your luggage. It’s a lot. With cabin companions we just handed our dogs over and received them on the other end and it was simple and stress free.

It was such a joy to help get your two pups safely to Spain. We know how much work and worry can go into preparing for international pet travel, especially when you’ve had past experiences of managing kennels, paperwork, and airports yourself. Being able to take that stress off your shoulders and keep you updated every step of the way was truly our pleasure. We’re so glad the trip felt simple and stress-free for you, and we hope you’re all settling in beautifully in Spain!

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.

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.

We used Cabin Companions to move our two cats across the country and they really made things easy for us. Gabe was our cats’ flight nanny, and he was fantastic—so kind and clearly experienced with animals. He sent us regular updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind as we were dealing with our own move. Our cats aren’t the easiest travelers (are any?), but they arrived calm, safe, and clearly well looked after. It’s obvious this team truly cares about what they do. We’re so glad we found them!
