One is a marketplace. One is a dedicated service. The difference matters when it's your dog.
The Comparison
Fetch Pet Care is a marketplace platform — you're browsing a list of independent contractors and hiring one based on ratings and availability. Envoy Pet is a dedicated private pet transportation service with a specific vehicle, a specific standard of care, and fixed pricing.
For dog walking and pet sitting, Fetch can work well. For vet visit transport — where your dog needs a calm, equipped vehicle, a handler who waits through the appointment, and a service with proper insurance — the difference between a marketplace and a dedicated provider matters.

Why It Matters
When your dog is in the car with someone other than you, the two things that matter most are accountability and consistency. A marketplace connects you to whoever is available; a dedicated service gives you the same vehicle, the same process, and the same standard every time.
Vet visits in particular require more than a ride. The handler needs to communicate with the clinic, manage a pet that's potentially anxious or post-procedure, and know what to do if something unexpected happens. That's a different job than walking a dog around the block.
FAQ
Fetch Pet Care is a marketplace that connects pet owners with independent pet care providers — dog walkers, sitters, and some transport. You're hiring a contractor through the platform, not a dedicated company with a specific vehicle and service standard.
Some Fetch providers list transport in their services, but it varies by individual. There's no guarantee the provider has a vehicle equipped for pets, waits through appointments, or carries specific pet transport insurance.
Fetch providers set their own rates, so it varies. Envoy Pet publishes fixed rates: vet visit transport from $225, standard from $125. With Fetch, the rate depends on which provider you find and their availability.
You can try to find a provider who offers it. Envoy Pet is built specifically for vet visit transport — full appointment wait, ramp loading, and private vehicle — which most Fetch providers don't offer.
