A collapsible pet carrier ( 10 ) includes a base ( 12 ) with a shiftable frame ( 14 ) movable between a collapsed position and an extended use position; the carrier also has a flexible cover ( 16 ) which, with the base, forms a pet enclosure. The cover ( 16 ) has an animal doorway ( 66 ) as well as optional see-through windows ( 74 ). The frame ( 14 ) is preferably formed of flexible and resilient shape memory material allowing the frame to self-erect when unrestrained, without any manual manipulation or other intervention. Also, the carrier ( 10 ) preferably includes a top ( 18 ) which mates with the base to form a carrier housing, which restrains the popup frame ( 14 ) to retain it within the carrier housing. The top ( 18 ) may also be inverted and secured to the base ( 12 ) during use.
