  • Company overview

    Le Pet Express is an affordable pet shuttle service between the UK and France where pet owners without a car cross the English Channel with their pet by their side.  We collect and drop off at train stations that can be reached from London, Paris and Lille.  Our aim is to enable pet owners without vehicles the ability to take their loved one to/from the UK and France while their pet sits beside them.

    After moving with my own pets from the US to the UK, and working with dog charities, I realized how challenging it is to move with a pet, and factors like cost and logistics can get in the way.  Le Pet Express aims to provide an accessible, high quality service to travel or relocate with your dog with ease.

    You can hear more about what we do on Anna Webb’s podcast of a Dog’s Life.  We share more about our company story and why we do what we do!

    If you love your pet as much as I do mine, don’t leave them behind!

  • Company values

    We love our pets and believe it is important they have the ability to travel with you.

    We value providing a service that balances reasonably cost, safety for pets and their people, and clear processes and systems to inform our clients and support our staff/team.

     

  • What makes your organization a great place to work?

    The reward of knowing you helped a pet stay with its owner when relocating or returning home to visit family and not being left behind with the pet sitter.

    Our clients are generally low stress, and they are headed off on an adventure with their pet.  We have excellent clients and pets that we support!

    Our team is flexible and supports each other, and as a company, we support our clients with clear guidelines, checklists and processes so that you, and the client know what to expect.

  • Describe an ideal employee at your organization
    • Ability to manage time and logistics to ensure clients are picked up and transportation is on time.
    • Able to make conversation with customers and set them at ease as they travel. Our clients are often women who are traveling alone across a border with their pet, so the ability to make polite conversation and create a safe and relaxed setting is key.
    • Attention to detail (checking documents clearly prior to departure for example).

     

     

  • Flexible work initiatives at the workplace

    Drivers can choose which days of the week to work and number of days they wish to work.

  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives you have

    Le Pet Express is an equal opportunity employer and provides an enviornment where all individuals are encouraged to be their true self.

  • Structured career progression initiatives at the workplace

    Le Pet Express is recruiting drivers which allows an opportunity for employees of various professional backgrounds to experience a driving career whether taking a break professionally or looking for a blend of animals, transportation and people.  Drivers with D1 driving licenses are encouraged to apply and CPC training will be provided after 6 months of employment.

  • Animal welfare policies and/or lowering barriers to care/spectrum of care initiatives

    We keep our costs affordable to clients so they can bring their pets with them as they relocate.
