Describe the journey
Tell us where and roughly when you hope to travel, who is coming, and what your pet needs.
Pet-first shared travel
PetShare is being built to help pet travellers understand their route and form compatible shared journeys, starting with the UK–France corridor.
We're not taking bookings yet.

A calmer way to plan together
A match is more than two pins on a map. PetShare is being designed around the route, the pet, the people, and the practical work of travelling well together.
Tell us where and roughly when you hope to travel, who is coming, and what your pet needs.
PetShare is being designed to make corridor, timing, pet-readiness, and practical trade-offs visible.
The goal is a shared journey whose people, pets, space, timing, and expectations genuinely align.
Start narrow. Learn honestly.
We're beginning with a route where pet travellers face real coordination and preparation work. Travelling elsewhere? Tell us anyway. Unsupported routes should become learning, not a misleading dead end.
A note from the founder
PetShare began on a journey that should have been simple. I was trying to cross the Channel with my dog and find a kinder, more affordable alternative to a private pet taxi.
£195What I paid, hoping shared transport would be a practical option.
£400+What a private pet taxi would usually cost me for the crossing.
5½ hoursHow long it took us to travel from Calais to Folkestone.
4½ hoursHow long my frightened dog spent in a cage she was not used to.
The company had not booked our crossing in advance, so we had to wait for the next available space. The journey from Calais to Folkestone took 5½ hours, even though the crossing itself is about 30 minutes. For 4½ of those hours, my frightened dog remained in a cage she was not used to. I was not allowed to take her out. By the time we reached Folkestone station at 10:30pm, one passenger had missed her last train.
While we waited, I started talking to two women in the van. They had not realised that a private pet taxi could cost more than £400, or that three compatible travellers might be able to share one and split the cost. Both told me they would use a service that helped them find compatible people making the same journey. They gave me their numbers and asked me to call the next time I travelled.
“That was when the idea for PetShare formed. The problem was not only mine.”
That experience stayed with me. I am building PetShare to make shared pet travel feel clearer, kinder and less lonely. The idea is to check routes, dates, budgets, animal needs and travel-document readiness before anyone commits to a journey.
