Pet-Friendly Road Trips: Enjoy the Journey, Let DWD Handle the Driving

Cabs and flights rarely welcome pets comfortably, so most pet owners default to driving themselves — and end up too focused on the road to actually spend time with their dog or cat. A pet-friendly driver changes that.

Why Self-Driving Isn't Always the Best Option with a Pet Along

  • Constant attention needed for a restless pet makes focused driving harder, especially on highways
  • Regular stops for water, bathroom breaks and stretching interrupt a driver's rhythm
  • Sudden braking or sharp turns are more unsettling for a pet than for a human passenger
  • Many owners end up not enjoying the trip themselves, stuck in the driver's seat the whole way

What Makes DWD Pet-Friendly Trips Different

Comfortable, Considerate Driving

Gentle acceleration and braking, mindful of a pet in the back seat or carrier.

Planned Stop Schedule

Regular breaks built into the route for water, bathroom stops and stretching, not just fuel stops.

Space to Actually Enjoy the Trip

Sit with your pet instead of driving, especially useful on longer outstation trips.

Clean, Well-Maintained Vehicles

Cars offered for pet trips are cleaned and checked before pickup.

Tips for a Smooth Pet Road Trip

  1. Share your pet's size, carrier type and any anxiety triggers when booking
  2. Plan feeding at least 2–3 hours before departure to reduce motion sickness
  3. Carry familiar bedding or a toy to keep your pet settled in an unfamiliar car
  4. Confirm with your driver where the first rest stop will be so you can plan accordingly

General travel tips — always follow your vet's specific guidance for your pet.
