What Should Pet Owners Know Before Booking Their Dog's First Ride?

Booking your dog's first professional ride can feel like a leap of faith. It shouldn't. Here is exactly what to know before you book, so there are no surprises.

1. You Will See the Price Up Front

No mystery quotes. You will see a full, itemized fare before you confirm — base fare, mileage, any add-ons, and the total. Better yet, that total is a not-to-exceed price: we authorize your card at booking and only charge the actual fare after your dog is safely home. If the trip is shorter, you pay less.

2. Your Dog Rides Solo or Separated

Your pup will not be thrown in with strangers' dogs. Every ride is solo or kennel-separated in a padded, climate-controlled vehicle.

3. Have Your Details Ready

Booking takes about two minutes. Have your pickup and drop-off addresses, your dog's size, and the appointment time handy. If your dog is nervous or has special needs, add a note — your handler will use it.

4. Prep Your Dog

A light meal a few hours before, a bathroom break right before pickup, and a familiar blanket or toy all help your dog settle. Keep your goodbye calm and low-key.

5. Know the Add-Ons

A few situations adjust the price: additional dogs (+$10 each), large or XL dogs, weekend or holiday trips (+$10), same-day bookings (+$5), and extra stops (+$20). You will see any that apply before confirming.

6. We Are Available When You Need Us

We operate 24/7, including same-day rides when your schedule surprises you.
