After 75 flights over a decade, we've seen the world and want to help others see it from our pawspective.

I'm Lauren, the founder of PadsPass along with my co-founder and inspiration for the platform, Pads. We took 75 flights together over ten years. As a documentary filmmaker, she accompanied me to quite a few film festivals - from the red carpets of Cannes to the canals of Amsterdam. We relocated countries twice together, and often visited family and friends in our transatlantic life.​

​

Having a 'never event' in transit (you can read more about that event on this instagram post), got me thinking there had to be a way to remove the factor of human error in pet travel.​ That was in 2022, one year into working at my first tech startup when I envisioned a platform that incorporates all the aspects of animal travel I experienced over the last 10 years but in a way that was safer, easier, and verifible and that is how PadsPass was founded.​​
