The temporary pet kennel is an apparatus that serves as a temporary housing and a bed for a pet. The temporary pet kennel includes an elongated enclosure, a cushion, a plurality of fasteners, and at least one ventilation hole. The elongated enclosure further includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion, together, enclose the pet. The cushion is contained within the second portion which supports and comforts the pet which rests on the cushion. The plurality of fasteners secures the first portion to the second portion so that the pet remains within the elongated enclosure until the user purposefully disengages the plurality of fasteners. The at least one ventilation hole allows the pet within the elongated enclosure to properly breathe. The apparatus further includes a support plate and a stand which provide storage within the elongated enclosure.
