A pet travel bag is provided. The pet travel bag included a sidewall extending from a base forming an interior compartment, wherein the pet can rest on the base and within the interior compartment. A panel covers a pet passageway in the closed configuration and provides for access to the interior volume in an open configuration via the open pet passageway. The panel further includes a sub-panel that is independently reconfigurable between a working and non-working configuration. In the working configuration, the sub-panel is moved away from the panel to reveal a foot passageway. The foot passageway is positioned such that a user may insert his or her feet into the interior compartment, without requiring the opening of the panel. A covering extends over the foot passageway. In this way, the pet remains safe and secure within the housing.
