Private dog transport in NYC and beyond
Point-to-point rides in a climate-controlled van with crash-tested crates. Around the city, to the Hamptons, or upstate.
Safe, Calm Point-to-Point Travel for Dogs
Standard rideshares and unregulated pet taxis are unpredictable and rarely equipped for real animal safety. Unrestrained dogs or flimsy fabric crates offer no crash protection, while erratic driving creates travel panic.
Gotham Paw provides dedicated point-to-point ground transit. Our custom Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is outfitted with crash-tested Swedish Variocages, dual-zone climate regulation (kept at 68°F), and HEPA air filtration. Whether across town to a veterinary specialist, out to the Hamptons, or upstate to your country home, your dog travels securely and calmly.

Smooth, careful driving with dual-zone climate monitoring (68°F) and live GPS arrival updates sent to your phone.
Direct Handoff & Confirmation

How Gotham Paw Solved the Urban Dilemma for Gatsby
The Challenge
Weighing 160 lbs, Gatsby was far too large for standard pet taxis and became anxious during summer weekend traffic.
Our Protocol
Booked point-to-point private Sprinter transit with Christopher Mejo in our largest custom Variocage.
The Outcome
Traveled completely calm with individual air vents and ample legroom. Arrived at the family's East Hampton home rested and happy.
