PetsJets is a unique service that provides a personal escort for pets small enough to be carried on the plane.

Craig D. Anapol started the company PetsJets, because of his love of animals and awareness of the need for such a service. PetsJets provides a way for people to safely transport their pets, small enough to be carried onboard, and know they'll have a personal escort with them every second of the trip.

The process of sending your pet the PetsJets is simple. The client contacts Craig, and he finds out where the pet needs to travel from/to, the date of the trip and if it is one way or roundtrip. He then searches for the best routing and fare and advises the client. The client pays for Craig's ticket, the airline service charge for carrying a pet onboard (usually $100 - $150 but varies by airline) and PetsJets service fee which is $85/hour for domestic & $95/hour for international travel.

PetsJets' service can take a dog or cat to/from any location & any day or time. There are several scenarios where it's ideal:

  1. Instead of a puppy or kitten being shipped via air freight, PetsJets service is a great alternative.
  2. Instead of or a dog or cat enduring a long car drive (for example when people relocate) PetsJets is a solution.
  3. It's a way to circumvent when airlines have seasonal weather embargoes ( i.e. AZ in summer, AK in winter).
  4. The service is ideal for people who have secondary homes.

Delta and United Airlines each recorded 1 incident. Deaths fell sharply from 8 in 2024 to 3 in 2025, though the year closed on a somber note with the December death of Meli, a three-year-old Golden Retriever, on an Alaska Airlines flight in Seattle.
