About Us
With abandoned pets close to our hearts, we originally set out to help the UAE’s animal welfare groups send rescues to their new forever homes, at as low a cost as possible and, in some cases, completely free of any fees. As our reputation grew, we began to receive enquiries directly from pet parents so took the decision to take the plunge, two feet and all paws, to expand and Pawsome Pets was born. Since 2016 we have been Moving Your World Around The World.
From small beginnings we have grown to the company we are today. Recently voted UAE's Favourite Pet Relocation Company, we offer bespoke and comprehensive travel solutions for your furry, feathered and scaley family. Since our first relocation with Jamie Hendrix, the tail-less rescue kitty who we flew to his new furrever home in the UK, we have helped thousands of pets travel safely around the world (and in some cases back again). We have a fleet of customised pet limo's and offer staycations for cats, birds and small pets in our very own luxury hotel, The Pawtery. For the pupsters, we partner with trusted colleagues where our clients enjoy the same amazing daycare and boarding facilities that our own pets visit.
We are members of IPATA and ATA, global organisations whose primary focus is the safe and ethical transportation of pets around the world and we are extremely proud to share the values they hold. Both have a stringent vetting process for their members and require us to keep up to date with the latest best practise, regulations and standards in pet travel. We are bound by and hold ourselves accountable to, the highest global standards in pet travel, care and well-being, so you can be sure your pets are enjoying the very best service from our team.
What Makes Us Different
Pet owners and animal lovers first, relocation and logistical experts second. We view every animal as extremely precious cargo. Here are a few ways we hope we stand out.
Transparent
Cost Effective
We work hard to ensure your pets relocation costs are as low as feasibly possible, without compromise to their safely and well-being.
Our quotes are transparent, you pay actual costs for all third-party services and our fees are some of the fairest around (a percentage of which are donated to help animal welfare groups care for and relocate the animals they rescue and rehabilitate.
Small in Size
Huge in Heart
Simply put, we love animals and we wouldn't do this job if we didn't.
Your pets are our number one priority at all times and all our procedures are designed to ensure they have the safest, most comfortable trip possible, no matter how far that journey might be.
Treating All Pets
As Our Own
Between us, the Pawsome Team have eleven pets plus varyings number of (currently seven) fosters.
Most days, at least four or five of them are at the office, keeping us on our toes at all times, ensuring full quality control of ear scratch and belly rub techniques. Oh, and they make excellent foot warmers in the cold AC!
Trained Canine
First Aiders
Safety is our number one priority through every step of the journey. All the team are certified canine first aiders, and one of us is a trained veterinary nurse. Whilst we’d never want to have to put these skills into use, it’s good to know we could if we needed to.
Always going above and beyond for your pets’ well-being and safety.
Internationally
Certified
As members global organisations such as
IPATA, ATA and PAN we have years of proven knowledge and experience.
Regular, intensive and internationally recognised assessments, exams and peer referrals ensure we are qualified, experienced and competent in all aspects of your pets wellbeing and safety whilst in our care, whether that be on the ground or in the air.
Adamant he has no favourites, all our furry VIPs fall in love with Arno (and he with them), safely chauffeuring them to and from their various pre-travel appointments and staycays there is always time for a selfie and a cuddle.

Meet The Team
We love when our clients share a review of their relocation or staycation experience on our Facebook and Google pages. Facebook does not allow reviews to be removed, nor have we switched off the Google review function. Meaning you are reading genuine feedback from our clients, not just reviews which are cherry picked to make us look good.
We also encourage you to provide us with direct feedback at any stage of your relocation process so that we can continue to improve on the services we provide. We are big believers in continuing to grow and see every day and each relocation as an opportunity to learn something new - even if it is a routine or activity we have followed a hundred times before. We think we do a pretty good job and we are delighted that our clients seem to think so too!
