Four ways to ride.
Every ride is door to door, planned with you before the day, and ends with a handover to the person you named.
Dogs and cats ride differently.
So we plan every ride around who’s traveling. Big dogs, small dogs, chatty cats and shy ones all get a ride that suits them.
Dogs
- Ride in a secured crate or clipped in with a harness they know
- A short walk before pickup helps them settle
- On their lead when you open the door
- Tell us their size and how they handle being lifted
Cats
- Always travel in their own closed carrier
- A blanket that smells like home goes inside
- Covered or uncovered, whichever they prefer
- Handed over still in their carrier, door closed
What happens on the day.
Two handovers and a calm ride in between. Here’s how every Tagalong ride goes.
Before the day
We agree the pickup time, both addresses and the person waiting at each end, and note how your pet travels.
At your door
A proper hello, a check of their bag and notes, and a calm settle into their carrier or crate.
On the road
A direct ride in a secured travel space with something familiar from home. No unnecessary stops.
At the other end
We hand them to the person you named, pass on their bag and notes, and let you know they’ve arrived.

Short reads on carriers, handovers and telling us how your pet likes to travel.
Planning clear handover instructions
Every ride has two handovers. Clear notes for both ends mean your pet arrives with the right people and the right information.
Sharing carrier and travel preferences
Some pets love a ride, others need a little reassurance. Tell us how yours travels and we’ll plan around it.
Good questions.
