How PetWorks vets its transportation professionals

PetWorks requires every pet transportation professional to complete an application and vetting process before taking their first booking. We do not operate as an open marketplace where anyone can sign up and immediately accept jobs. We review each applicant individually to confirm they meet our standards for professionalism, experience, and pet care.

What sets PetWorks transport pros apart:

• All applicants are individually vetted by PetWorks before being approved to the network
• Regional, national, and international transporters are USDA-registered as required by law
• International specialists hold IPATA accreditation, the gold standard in global pet relocation
• Over 1,000 completed transport trips with 100% positive customer outcomes
• Reviews and ratings are visible on every professional’s profile

Local pet taxi providers operate under different regulatory requirements than long-distance transporters — USDA registration is not required for purely local trips. However, all local providers on PetWorks still go through the same vetting process to ensure they meet the platform’s standards for pet safety and professional conduct.
