frequently asked questions
THE PET TAXI® can safely transport your pet anywhere that you have made advanced arrangements with. We specialize in same-day rush services, emergencies, as well as late-night and early-morning drop-offs.
In addition to rehabilitation, therapy, and treatment appointments at your veterinarian or specialty clinic, we provide pet pickup and drop off service to the airport, boarder, dog day care, groomer, “yappy hour” and back home. We also handle event pet chaperoning (think: wedding ceremony, birthday party, new puppy delivery)!
For your added convenience, we can wait with your pet through any appointment and safely return them to you with any medication or special instructions!
Private Door-to-Door Pet Transportation Service: ANYWHERE. ANY TIME. ANY DAY. WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
THE PET TAXI® was designed for pets of all shapes and sizes!
Dogs are secured in a harness and pet-safety seatbelt, or in a travel-safe crate. Felines and Exotics (fish, birds, reptiles, arachnids, and rodents) must be in an appropriate travel carrier when their chauffeur arrives.
For the safety of our chauffeurs, a known-aggressive or temperamental pet is not approved to use THE PET TAXI® services unless crated and/or muzzled. To speak with a member of our team about qualification requirements for your pet, call us at 877-873-7299.
No, your pet will not ride with other animals. The PET TAXI® offers private pet transport, focusing solely on your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the journey.
Many pet parents are at home when their pet needs a ride, or they choose to leave a key under the mat, with a neighbor, or in a lockbox. Once your pet’s chauffeur has been assigned, you will receive their direct contact information. By phone, text message, or using our in-app communication tool, you can facilitate the access and key exchange, or can give special instructions as to your preferred method of entry. You may also leave entry details with a reservation specialist over the phone, or in the notes section of our online booking tool.
For your convenience, THE PET TAXI® automatically matches you with a pet chauffeur who can best accommodate your schedule and meet your pet’s unique needs. If you have found a chauffeur that your pet has connected with, and would like to rebook the same person, please call 877-873-7299 to speak with a reservation specialist and ensure you get your pet’s preferred chauffeur each and every time they are available.
Your pet’s private chaperone rates start at $95 an hour plus $2 per mile and $2 per minute (when booked with 24 hour advance notice). In addition to vet appointments, therapy and specialty treatments, and airport or boarding drop-offs, we specialize in same-day rush services as well as event pet chaperones (think: wedding ceremony, children’s birthday party, new puppy delivery service). Just enter your pet’s pickup and drop-off address into our website or on The Pet Taxi App® and the fare estimator will show you exactly how much our private chauffeured, pet transport services will be.
You can always call us at 877-873-7299 and we will give you an instant fare estimate right over the phone too!
No problem. If you would like your pet’s ride tailored to their specific needs, call us anytime at 877-873-7299. We are here to help.
Crates are available upon request, as well as ramps, lifts, and pet gurneys. We also offer assistance with securing your pet into a carrier and can safely lift them when they have trouble walking.
As soon as possible, although we try our hardest to accommodate all requests. However, the later you wait to book your reservation, the harder it may be for you to secure your requested time. Also keep in mind that a same-day service fee will be applied when booking a pet taxi after 8pm the night before your requested pickup.
Please keep in mind that a same-day service fee of $175 will be applied when booking a pet taxi after 10pm the night before your requested pickup.
You can cancel any advanced pet taxi request without penalty any time up until your driver has accepted your ride request. Once your driver has accepted your request, you are subject to a cancellation fee equaling the base fare of the ride you requested. Once your driver has begun service, the request is unable to be cancelled and your credit card will be charged.
