Animal Transport via Geneva Airport – Lovingly Cared for, Around the Clock
Whether your pet is arriving in Geneva or departing to destinations around the world – at the GVA Animal Lounge, it’s in the best hands.
Since April 2024, Moving Animals has been operating the animal station at Geneva Airport on behalf of Swissport and DNATA, accompanying every four-legged traveller with expertise, experience, and a genuine passion for animal welfare.
In collaboration with the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), we carry out the required veterinary checks for all incoming animals. If a pet cannot be picked up immediately due to flight delays or logistical issues, we of course provide loving interim care. A clean, calm resting place, a freshly prepared dinner, and plenty of water help ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable – even far from home.
We also look after animals being exported from Geneva, ensuring their well-being before departure. After check-in, your pet comes to us. In the peaceful environment of the Animal Lounge – away from the bustle of the airport – it can rest and relax until it’s time to board. If the travel crate has become soiled during the journey, we will clean it thoroughly before departure to ensure your pet travels clean and comfortable.
Our team is made up of trained animal caretakers – and above all, animal lovers. All of us share our lives with dogs and/or cats, so we know exactly what it means to take responsibility for a beloved companion. That’s why we care for every animal as if it were our own – with respect, compassion, and an attentive eye for their needs.
If your pet needs to stay with us overnight and you’d like a personal update on how it’s doing – just send us an email at: 📧 gva@movinganimals.com

























Sushi, the Miniature Schnauzer, proving that a new chapter can be just as beautiful—no matter the age 🐾✨
Now enjoying life by the sea in Turkey 🇹🇷,she’s taking things slow and easy, with gentle walks and a well-earned moment of calm.
For her relocation, we provided our Guidance & Vet Work service, ensuring all health requirements and documentation were carefully prepared. With senior dogs, every detail matters—and Sushi’s journey was set up to be as smooth as possible.
Exactly how it should be 💙

Frankie goes to… South Africa 🇿🇦
It was a real pleasure meeting this little cutie! From her home in Vevey, we took care of every step of her journey—organising collection, preparing and finalising her export veterinary certificate with official government endorsement, providing a secure reinforced travel crate, and booking her flight to Johannesburg.
Frankie has now safely arrived and is settling into her new home in South Africa 🐾✨

Zeus has landed in Grand Cayman! 🌴🐾
Big, fluffy & adorable Bernese Mountain Dog „Zeus“ has officially touched down in paradise! After wrapping up his stay at @villa.bunterhund (which he loves!), we handled the final vet checks, booked his flight, and made sure he traveled in a comfy, secure crate.
A huge shoutout to @pawsome.ventures.ky in the Cayman Islands for their incredible support with the permit, customs clearance, and final delivery – making the last leg of the journey seamless. 🙌
His family received photo updates the whole way, so they could see their boy doing great every step of the journey. Now that he’s arrived safe and sound, we’re wishing Zeus and his pawrents endless beach days, adventure, and happy tails in Grand Cayman! 🏝️🐶💙

When everything seemed perfect, the world threw a curveball… 🌏✈️
Back in 2023, we helped “Floss & Waffles” travel from Australia to Switzerland. They captured our hearts from day one.
Fast forward: it’s time to go home. Everything was set — flights booked, testing and treatments done, departure just around the corner.
Then, out of nowhere, war in the Middle East hit… and Qatar Airways canceled their flight. 😳
A delay would have meant starting the preparations all over again. But with quick thinking and careful planning, we found a way to keep their journey alive.
And finally… they made it safely to Melbourne. Now, just 10 days of quarantine stand between them and the reunion everyone’s been waiting for.
We can’t wait to hear the happy news when the family is finally together again. Some journeys are measured in miles… but love always finds the way home. 🐾✨
