Meet Our Founder
I am Charles Rhodes, a graduate of DePaul University, and the founder of Paws Across America. I started this venture because I believe that every pet—whether it be a rescue finding a fresh start or a family dog returning home—deserves a safe, gentle, and stress-free experience. With USDA licensing, comprehensive insurance, personalized travel, and real-time tracking, I care for each pet as if they were my own. Thank you for placing your trust in me with your beloved companions. Their comfort and safety will always be my top priority.
