About PetsPassport

A small pet travel company built on one idea: the person who plans your pet's journey should be the person who is there on the day, and the person who tells you they landed safely.

Our story

Ten years of moving pets, one journey at a time

PetsPassport started in 2015 out of frustration with how pet travel was being handled: owners handed a reference number, pets handed to strangers, and nobody able to answer a simple question about where an animal actually was.

We built the opposite. One person plans your pet's journey, prepares the documents, is at the airport, and tells you when your pet has landed. That has not changed as the business has grown from single relocations to full shared private charters between Dubai and Europe.

How we work

What you can expect from us

Every pet is different, so every plan is written from scratch. What stays constant is how we communicate and what we refuse to compromise on.

One point of contact

Penny handles your move from first enquiry to arrival — no handovers between departments.

Honest timelines

We tell you what the paperwork really takes, even when that is not the answer you hoped for.

Transparent pricing

Quotes are prepared individually with no handling fees appearing later.

Welfare first

Route, aircraft and timing chosen around the animal, not around margin.

All breeds

Snub-nosed dogs, nervous rescues and older pets that others turn away.

Reachable on the day

You can message us while your pet is travelling and get a real answer.

What we do

Three services, one standard

Whether your pet flies in the cabin beside you or travels as fully managed cargo, the level of preparation and supervision is the same.

  • Shared private pet charters between Dubai, London, Amsterdam and Madrid
  • International pet relocation door to door, worldwide
  • Fully managed pet cargo relocation on commercial services
  • UAE-specific relocation support and import permits
  • Unaccompanied pet travel with our team as escort
  • Guidance on settling in, local vets and registration

Questions

About us FAQs

Who is behind PetsPassport?

Penny, who founded the company in 2015 and still personally manages every relocation and charter. When you call or message, you speak to her — not a call centre.

Where are you based?

We operate from the UK and Dubai, and move pets worldwide. That dual base is why our UK-UAE corridor is the strongest part of the business.

How many pets have you moved?

Hundreds since 2015, from single cats travelling to Europe to families relocating several dogs across continents.

What makes you different from a large pet shipper?

Scale. We deliberately take on fewer moves so each pet gets attention, and we would rather turn work away than run a route we cannot do properly.

Do you ever recommend not travelling?

Yes. If a pet is too old, too unwell or the timing is wrong, we say so. An honest no protects your pet and our reputation.
