Can I Track My Pet in Real-Time During Ground Transport?

When it comes to moving your beloved pet across states — or even across the country — we know nothing matters more than their safety, comfort, and your peace of mind. At PetCommute, we take your trust seriously, which is why one of the most common questions we hear is:

“Can I track my pet in real-time during ground transport?”

The answer is: Yes, you can!

We partner with a network of professional, contracted ground transporters who understand that transparency and communication are essential. To ensure you stay connected with your pet throughout their journey, our transporters use multiple real-time tracking technologies, including:

1. Find My iPhone and Find My Device

Many of our drivers share their location through Find My iPhone (for Apple users) or Find My Device (for Android users). Before your pet’s journey begins, you’ll receive instructions on how to access the driver’s real-time location, so you can follow the route live from your phone, tablet, or computer.

2. Life360 App

For an even more detailed tracking experience, some of our contracted drivers use the Life360 app. This family-location sharing app provides real-time updates on location, driving speeds, stopovers, and estimated arrival times. You'll get a clear picture of where your pet is at any moment — and it’s easy to use.

3. GPS-Enabled Tracking Collars

In select transports, especially for longer or VIP journeys, pets may also wear GPS tracking collars. These collars allow an additional layer of security, providing instant updates on your pet’s location independent of the vehicle. While not used in every trip, GPS collars are an option for owners who want even more peace of mind.

How Pet Tracking Works

Once your pet’s transport is scheduled, your assigned transporter will reach out to coordinate tracking setup. They’ll walk you through downloading any necessary apps and explain how you’ll receive real-time updates. Some transports also include regular photo and video check-ins to show your pet’s happy face along the way!

We believe that communication is key. If you ever have questions during the journey, our transporters and support team are only a call or text away.

Why PetCommute Prioritizes Tracking

• Peace of Mind: Knowing exactly where your pet is relieves anxiety and builds trust.

• Accountability: Our transporters take every step to ensure safe, smooth trips.

• Transparency: You’re always in the loop from pick-up to drop-off.

  
  

At PetCommute, we treat your pet like family — and keeping you connected throughout their journey is just one more way we show it.
