Six ways the van helps

One veteran-owned crew, one climate-controlled van, six jobs. Each one wears a color from the paw on our logo.

Event Boarding
Bring your dog to the festival, the game or the parade. They rest in the cool van while you enjoy the day. See how it works
Weddings
The van arrives before your guests and stays through the last dance, with every pet in the party looked after. See how it works
Pet Transport
Door-to-door rides to the vet, groomer or daycare and home again, for owners who can’t easily drive. See how it works
Pet Lodging
Overnight stays with pickup and drop-off, feeding routines kept and medication help on request. See how it works
Dog Walking
Solo or group walks, fresh water along the way, and an update after every walk. See how it works
Partners
Vets, groomers, daycares and rescues can offer their clients pet pickup without hiring a driver. See how it works

Drop off. Enjoy the show. Pick up.

Drop off at the van

Find the wrapped van at the event and check your pet into their own stainless kennel. Tell us about feeding, meds and quirks.

Enjoy the event

Your pet rests in a climate-controlled cabin that runs on solar and lithium power, supervised the whole time. Call or text whenever you want an update.

Pick up and go

Swing back when the show’s over. Your pet comes out cool, calm and ready for the ride home.

Meet Rosie.

She’s the Jack Russell terrier riding along on most of our stops, and usually the first to say hello at the van door.

Rosie inspects every kennel before a guest moves in. Her standards are high and her tail rarely stops.

Rosie’s still collecting reviews — leave her one on Facebook
