After facing challenges relocating with her own pets, Marisa Hoskins launched Paws Abroad, a platform that helps families plan international travel with dogs, cats, and other companion animals. The platform has since gained notable attention online, reaching over 250,000 views on LinkedIn.
Phuket, Thailand — May 11, 2025 — A new digital platform has launched to help pet owners navigate the complex logistics of moving animals across international borders. Created by entrepreneur and experienced pet traveler Marisa Hoskins, Paws Abroad offers country-specific guidance and step-by-step planning tools designed for families relocating with pets.
Hoskins was inspired to create the tool after receiving costly and inaccurate relocation advice during her own international move. The experience exposed how fragmented and confusing the process can be for pet owners.
This is Hoskins’ second venture in the pet industry, following the acquisition of her first business in the Canadian pet food space.
Paws Abroad aims to address the lack of centralized, accessible travel information for pet families. It provides detailed checklists, required documentation, airline options, and automated reminders tailored to specific travel routes and pet types. The platform is currently live with route coverage across ten countries and continues to expand based on user feedback.
“Our goal is to reduce the stress and uncertainty that often comes with relocating a pet,” says Hoskins. “We’ve built this tool to offer clarity and support during what can be a highly emotional and logistical challenge.”
The system was designed and built in-house by Hoskins’ brother, a full-stack software engineer. Together, they developed a solution that helps pet families understand their responsibilities and timelines when planning a move across borders.
Paws Abroad is currently supporting routes between North America, Europe, and Asia. Future product features will include expanded route coverage, concierge support, and additional resources for navigating pet-friendly travel.
