About Us
Pet Holiday ClubThe International Pet Travel Platform Built for Pet Owners Who Refuse to Leave Their Animals Behind
Pet Holiday Club was born from one simple, frustrating truth: the world was not built for pet owners who travel. Government websites in foreign languages. Rules that change without warning. Documents with sequences and deadlines that nobody explains clearly. And at the end of all of it — a border official who decides whether your pet comes home with you or stays behind.
We are a team of rescue dog parents, compliance experts, veterinarians and an AI engineer. We built the thing we wished had existed when we needed it.
Today Pet Holiday Club is the world's first AI-powered international pet travel platform — covering 190+ countries with government-sourced, vet-verified pet travel documentation checklists. Whether you are flying to France, relocating to Australia, or travelling through Asia with your dog or cat — Pet Holiday Club gives you the exact documents you need, in the right sequence, before you get to the airport. Already have the paperwork? Run it through our document checker. Because no pet should ever be left behind.

Before Pet Holiday Club, Oxana spent years delivering global, compliance-focused AI and data governance — working at the intersection of complex regulatory systems and accessible technology. She knows what it takes to turn a bureaucratic nightmare into something a normal person can actually use.
She founded Pet Holiday Club because she lived the problem herself. Four rescue dogs. Dozens of international trips. A system that was never designed to accommodate either.
“We are not building a travel app. We are building the infrastructure that should have existed the moment someone first decided their pet was part of their family.”

He brings deep experience in compliance-focused AI and information governance — the same discipline that underpins Pet Holiday Club’s documentation engine. He worked on systems that had to be accurate, current, and trusted by thousands of users simultaneously. That is exactly the standard Pet Holiday Club holds itself to.
Vivek believes that the complexity of international pet travel is not inevitable — it is a design failure. And design failures can be fixed.

Anna holds a PhD in Medicine and has spent her career scaling global products that people genuinely depend on. Her most recent milestone: a 300% increase in Daily Active Users on a product used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
At Pet Holiday Club, Anna leads the product experience — making sure that navigating 190+ countries of pet travel documentation feels as simple as ordering a coffee. She is the reason the platform works the way your brain works, not the way governments write their regulations.
Anna’s approach to product is rooted in one question: what does the person on the other side of the screen actually need right now? For a pet owner at an airport, overwhelmed and unsure — the answer has to be instant, accurate, and completely clear.

Konstantin is the AI engineer behind Pet Holiday Club’s documentation engine — the system that ingests live regulatory data from 190+ countries, processes it through AI agents, and delivers a personalised pet travel checklist in under two minutes.
He is not building a chatbot. He is not wrapping an existing API. He is building production infrastructure that has to be correct every single time — because a wrong answer does not just frustrate a user, it strands their pet at a border.
Konstantin brings successful experience in compliance product architecture and development — the exact discipline required when accuracy and real-time currency are not optional features, they are the product.
“The hardest engineering problems are not the ones where the answer is complex. They are the ones where the answer has to be simple — and always right.”

Ann spent 10+ years as a journalist — covering elections, conflict, policy, and the kind of stories where getting a fact wrong has real consequences. She worked at Euronews Georgia and holds degrees in Mass Communications and Media.
At Pet Holiday Club, she brings that same instinct — lead with facts, verify everything, and write for the person who needs to understand, not the person who already does.
She is also the reason Pet Holiday Club published the world’s first Global Pet Travel Preparedness Index — a six-month research project covering 194 countries, individually scored and verified by veterinarians. The finding: the world scores 54 out of 100 for pet travel preparedness. Only 11 countries make it genuinely easy.
“I spent years telling stories about systems that failed people. Now I get to help fix one.”
Galina Metlenko
Social Media and Content Manager
Galina is the voice of Pet Holiday Club across social media — the person who takes complex pet travel information and turns it into content that people actually stop to read, save, and share.
She brings specialist expertise in social media strategy and content creation — understanding not just what to post, but why it works, when it lands, and who it reaches. In a world where pet owners are making important travel decisions based on what they see in their feed, that expertise matters.
At Pet Holiday Club, Galina builds the community around the mission — one post, one story, one pet owner at a time.
Veterinary Team: How We Verify Pet Travel Requirements
Our Veterinary Experts
Every piece of health and clinical content on Pet Holiday Club is reviewed and verified by a team of certified veterinarians with specialist experience in international pet travel regulations. They are the reason you can trust what we tell you.
International pet travel involves medical decisions — vaccination sequences, titre testing, health certificate timing, breed-specific health risks at altitude. These are not questions that should be answered by an algorithm alone. Our veterinary team ensures that every recommendation we make is clinically sound, current, and safe.
Our veterinary team specialises in:
- International pet health certification and Animal Health Certificate requirements
- Vaccination sequencing and timing for EU, UK, US, Australian, and Asian entry requirements
- Breed-specific travel risk assessment including brachycephalic breeds
- Titre testing protocols and approved laboratory standards
- Global pet relocation compliance across 190+ countries
They work behind the scenes — reviewing country data and our airline guides, verifying clinical claims, and catching the kind of errors that a non-veterinary team would never know to look for. When you use Pet Holiday Club, you are not just getting a database. You are getting a pet travel checklist that a veterinarian has checked.
