Pet Care in 2027: PetWorks Takes The Lead

As 2027 dawns, PetWorks now serves pet parents in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Philippines, Ireland, and India. PetWorks has also launched a massive wave of 200 new domestic U.S. pet transport routes. Virtual pet care, including animal nutritionist consultations, pet loss and grief counseling, and behavior consultations, just to name a few, is available across borders. Demand for pet flight nannies is rising fast. Parents can book needed pet care services that they can’t find anywhere else – at petworks.com.

Pet care is rapidly evolving. Pet parents move more often, and they move farther. They expect expert advice by video, not just in person. They also want one trusted place to find both. PetWorks is building for that future.

Here is where the PetWorks pet care services marketplace platform is headed and where pet care is going – with three key shifts shaping pet care services in 2027:

Pets travel more. Pet parents relocate for work, family, and lifestyle. More of them want their pets to come along, and many want help getting them there safely.

Expert care is going virtual. A video call can connect a pet parent with a specialist in minutes. Distance no longer limits who can help.

Pet parents want support for the whole journey. That includes nutrition, behavior, and the emotional side of pet ownership, including loss.

PetWorks is growing exponentially in all three areas.

Expanding Into Six New Countries

PetWorks is expanding beyond the United States into:

• Canada
• The United Kingdom
• Australia
• The Philippines
• Ireland
• India

In each market, PetWorks connects pet parents with vetted professionals. International pet transportation is a core focus. Virtual pet care works across borders from day one.

Every country has its own import rules. Pet parents should always confirm current requirements with the destination country’s official agency before booking. For airline cargo standards, the IATA Live Animals Regulations are a widely used reference.

150 New Pet Transport Routes Across the United States

At home, PetWorks is adding 150 new city-to-city pet transport routes in 2027. Some top routes include:

• NYC to Boston
• Los Angeles to Miami
• Tampa to Savannah

Each route page helps pet parents compare vetted transporters, review ratings, and request quotes. Pet parents can also message transporters directly to plan timing and paperwork.

More routes mean more choice. They also mean shorter searches for pet parents who need a trusted transporter on a specific corridor.

The Rise of the Pet Flight Nanny

One category stands out in 2027: the pet flight nanny.

A pet flight nanny is a professional who travels with a pet on a flight, usually in the cabin, and delivers the pet to its destination. Pet parents often choose this option when they cannot travel themselves. It also appeals to pet parents who prefer that their pet not fly in cargo.

Demand for pet flight nannies and pet transportation is growing quickly on PetWorks, which has booked over 600 pet moves for pet parents thus far in 2026. All pet transporters on the marketplace are vetted, and pet parents can quickly review each professional’s qualifications before getting free quotes and booking.

Airline rules apply to every flight. Policies on carrier size, breed, and fees differ, so pet parents should check with the airline before booking a flight nanny. PetWorks has a guide on whether a dog can fly in the cabin to help.

Virtual Pet Care Without Borders

Virtual care is the other major growth area. PetWorks pet parents can book video sessions with professionals in three categories.

Animal Nutritionist Consultations

A nutritionist reviews a pet’s age, breed, health history, and current diet. They then build a feeding plan to match. Virtual sessions help pet parents who have moved and cannot find their usual brands. Browse animal nutritionists.

Pet Loss and Grief Counseling

Losing a pet is a real loss. Counselors help pet parents process grief in private sessions, including before a loss, when a pet faces a terminal diagnosis. Browse pet loss and grief counselors.

Animal Behavior Consultations

Moves and travel can unsettle pets. A behavior consultant reviews the pet’s routine and environment and creates a practical plan for anxiety, barking, house-training setbacks, and more. Browse animal behavior consultants.

What This Means for Pet Parents

In 2027, pet parents can expect:

• More transport options on more routes
• Access to vetted professionals in six new countries
• Expert advice by video, wherever they live
• One account for every service

Getting started takes a few minutes. Create a free PetWorks account, browse the category you need, request quotes, and book a consultation.

What This Means for Pet Care Professionals

PetWorks is growing, and professionals can grow with it. Pet transporters, pet flight nannies, nutritionists, counselors, and behavior consultants can sign up at petworks.com/signup to reach pet parents in new markets.

Pet Care in 2027 – What’s Next for PetWorks

The plan for 2027 is simple: more places, more routes, and more ways to get expert care. “Pets are family, and families are always moving. They relocate for a new job, move closer to loved ones, or start over in another country. Through every move, a pet’s needs keep changing too. A puppy needs training. A senior dog needs a new diet. And someday, every pet parent faces the hardest goodbye. In 2027, PetWorks is building for that whole journey. We want a pet parent to find a trusted transporter for the move, a nutritionist for the new routine, a behavior expert for the adjustment, and a counselor for the toughest moments. Wherever life takes a pet and their family, PetWorks will be there to help.” – Kevin Kinyon, Co-Founder, PetWorks.
