About Fetchapet
Fetchapet Ltd is the modern pet travel solution of Rachel Davis BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour. Fetchapet operates a pets as family policy and is complimented by a small team of very dedicated pet travel professionals who will ensure you and your pets receive the very best care and service available.
Our service is truly bespoke and is tailored to include as much or as little assistance as required. If you would just like us to book your pets flight, supply the IATA compliant travel kennel, provide the shipping documentation and meet you at the airport on the day of departure to check your pet in, that’s fine. Or, if you’re after a more comprehensive solution then that’s fine too – let us know what you need, and we will modify your shipment to suit. No two pet relocations are the same, so our service isn’t either!
Rachel worked with Par Air Pet Shipping for more than 30 years and is now bringing the experience she gained working in Europe’s oldest pet transport company together to offer a modernised and flexible pet travel service. Fetchapet is Rachel’s own exciting venture that began trading in June 2015 and offers a truly bespoke animal travel package for discerning pet owners. Rachel studied for her Animal Behaviour Degree (BSc Hons) at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge and was the only student in her year to be awarded a UFAW (Universities Fund for Animal Welfare) award for an outstanding research project in the field of animal welfare on completion of her BSc studies. Rachel is currently owned by her Border Collie called Tern and Drake the Tabby Cat. Rachel also has a long-standing love affair with birds and is very happy to advise any client regarding the shipment of a bird to any worldwide destination.
Emma joined our team from Par Air where she had worked together with Rachel since 2010 and is our resident pet travel and animal husbandry specialist. Emma brings with her a wealth of animal handling skills and plenty of experience with preparing pets for the journey ahead. Emma now works mainly in the Fetchapet office where she is responsible for ensuring all journeys are meticulously planned and that all country rules are fully adhered to when sending dogs cats and birds around the globe. She is often the first point of contact for our clients and is very happy to offer advice on any part of the relocation process. Emma regularly also delivers pets to the airport for their flights and so, like Rachel, has the advantage of understanding the whole process from start to finish. Emma is the proud owner of Alfie a West Highland White Terrier.
Jeremy joined Fetchapet following the closure of Par Air and he is responsible for constructing our top quality made to measure pet travel kennels. Jeremy has been building the kennels for more than 40 years, and takes a huge amount of pride in ensuring that our kennels are the best available products for design, comfort and safety. Jeremy also works as a driver who looks after the maintenance of the vehicles as well as delivering the pets to their required destinations.
We moved to Spain last August. Knowing very little about the transportation of live animals we contacted Fetchapet. Emma and Rachel were very caring and understanding on our needs, to make sure that Ben our Lab Retriever was well looked after on every aspect of his journey from Ipswich to Spain. He travelled in a wooden crate that was made especially for him on his flight from London Gatwick to Alicante, where we met him at the freight cargo area. He had water throughout the flight and he was in very good shape when he arrived although a little tired as he had an early morning flight! Also Rachel went the further mile in giving us the address of kennels very near to where we live in La Nucia, which are brilliant. Thanks to the care given by Fetchapet.
I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you so much for all your help and assistance in getting Eddie safely out to us. You took all the stress out of the task and were really helpful liaising with the vet on our behalf. Collecting Ed from our friends was a real bonus. We were so relieved that we had someone who obviously cared about animals and took care to arrange everything for us as if he was your own.
QPS were really helpful and friendly and even gave him a bath before we picked him up. We visited him every day he was in quarantine,10 days has never gone so slowly.
Fetchapet provide a cost effective and speedy solution to our shipping requirements for our show dogs. We send many dogs abroad and most recently have used Fetchapet to send a show dog to the USA and a puppy to Canada. Great customer service both times. We will certainly be using them for our future dog exports. Cara Davani and Andy Potts
Fetchapet were amazing in assisting me with the transportation of our two dogs and African Grey Parrot to Halifax, Canada. There were many hurdles in the process and Fetchapet were always there with advice and assistance. Nanook, Hobo and KiiKii all arrived at their new home happy and healthy. Thank you ladies.
Dear Rachel, now that the dust has settled and Koko is learning his new routine and enjoying the chilly mud of an Essex March after the sunny beaches of Cayman I thought I'd like to send you a special thank you. We expected and received a thoroughly professional service from Fetchapet in every way from general advice to punctilious paperwork. But we and Koko also had a lot of kindness from you in terms of reassuring emails about his Heathrow collection and Hannia's very special boarding arrangements. It made the whole business of transporting a much-loved dog 4,000 miles a lot easier to deal with and we are very grateful. Best wishes
I used Fetchapet to transport our Jack Russell Terrier from the UK to Muscat, Oman. The service we got was excellent and Molly arrived without a hitch. They liaised directly with the vets here and I just picked her up in the cargo area. She wasn't distressed and every effort had been made to ensure the least amount of anxiety. I would certainly use them again.
