Staff Training & Pet Handling Standards

At Driven by Pets, we understand that pets aren’t just passengers—they’re family. That’s why every member of our team receives specialized training to ensure your pet’s journey is as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.

What We Train For

Our training program focuses on the unique needs of pet transportation, including:

  • Safe Handling Techniques – Our team is trained in species-specific handling to ensure calm and secure interactions with dogs, cats, and small animals.
  • Transport Safety Protocols – From crate securing to vehicle temperature control, we follow strict procedures to protect your pet in transit.
  • Emergency Response & Pet First Aid – Staff are taught to identify signs of distress and are certified in basic animal first aid and CPR.
  • Behavioral Awareness – We train our team to recognize signs of anxiety, aggression, or fear, using calming techniques and gentle handling.
  • Clear Communication with Pet Owners – We believe in transparency and empathy. Our drivers are trained to update and reassure pet parents at every step.

Why It Matters

Our training ensures that:

  • Your pet is handled by a qualified professional, not just a driver.
  • Every ride is conducted with your pet’s physical and emotional well-being in mind.
  • We can respond quickly and effectively in case of emergencies or unexpected situations.

Ongoing Development

We don’t stop at the basics. Driven by Pets provides:

  • Quarterly workshops on new transport technology and animal care practices
  • Partnerships with vets and trainers for continued education
  • Background checks and vetting for all staff before hiring
