We believe no one should have to leave their pet behind.

PetTravel.ai was founded by pet owners who experienced firsthand how confusing, stressful, and expensive international pet travel can be. We built the resource we wished had existed.

Born from a chaotic move from Boston to Berlin with two rescue dogs.

In 2021, our founder Sarah Chen spent 400+ hours trying to navigate the labyrinthine world of international pet travel regulations. The information was scattered, contradictory, often dangerously outdated, and locked behind expensive consultants.

She decided to build PetTravel.ai β€” a single, authoritative, always up-to-date resource staffed by real veterinarians, pet relocation experts, and seasoned pet travelers.
