Bark Air has announced that it now offers a standalone concierge service for pet owners looking to make travel with their furry friend seamless and comfortable. 'Companion Concierge' is a service that helps with dog travel needs like regulations and paperwork, itinerary crafting, and chaperone services for when your pet needs a friendly sitter.
“We’ve heard customers say to us they want our personalized service, the ‘getting to know the dog and understanding what they need’ in a broader travel environment," said Michael Novotny, president of Bark Air.
The concierge service starts at $500 and includes an hour-long consultation in addition to itinerary creation. Consumers can also book chauffer services, which start at $350. Bark Air's chaperone services start at $100 an hour.
