FAQs

Quick answers to the most common questions. If you’re unsure, just message us and we’ll help.

Do you only transport dogs?

Not at all — we transport dogs, cats and small pets. If you’re unsure whether we can help with a specific animal, just tell us what they are and we’ll confirm.

I have more than 2 pets — can I still use your service?

Yes — we can often help, but we’ll need to plan it properly (space, safety, carriers and driver availability). Please contact us with the number of pets and types, and we’ll advise the best option.

How much does it cost?

Prices depend on distance, trip type (one-way/return/wait & return), number of pets, and any charges like tolls or London Congestion. The quickest way is to use our Fetch a Figure calculator, or message us for a quote.

Do owners have to travel with their pet?

No — pets can travel alone or with their owner. Just let us know what you prefer when booking.

Do you provide a pet carrier?

If your pet needs a carrier, please let us know. Some customers provide their own; in certain cases we can help, depending on the pet and journey. We’ll always prioritise comfort and safety.

Do you do same-day bookings?

Sometimes — it depends on availability. Same-day requests may be treated as urgent and can cost more, so it’s always best to book in advance where possible.

What areas do you cover?

We’re based in Harlow, Essex and cover journeys across the UK.

What if my pet is anxious or has special requirements?

No problem — just tell us in advance. We can allow extra time, comfort stops, and handle them calmly and safely.

The Journey


The idea for Happy Pets Taxi Service began on the Rover app, where I started out pet-sitting before quickly expanding into overnight boarding and daily visits. As a family-run business based in Harlow, building trust with pet owners has always been at the heart of what we do.


As that trust grew, it became clear there was a real need for safe, reliable pet transport. What started with my own trusty van soon grew into a small team of carefully selected drivers, allowing us to offer dependable, door-to-door journeys across Harlow and beyond — all delivered with the same care and attention we’d expect for our own pets.


From quick vet and groomer drop-offs to long-distance relocations, every journey is tailored to your pet’s comfort. Our climate-controlled vehicles, secure carriers, and pet-first-aid-certified drivers ensure your furry friend travels calmly and stress-free.


Alongside transport, we’ve also built our Pet-Care Network — a trusted collection of local groomers, walkers, sitters and pet professionals we genuinely work with and recommend, giving owners peace of mind at every stage of their pet’s care.
