Abstract: A protective vehicle cover including a first panel assembly, a second panel assembly and a vehicle assembly is disclosed. A first panel drapes over a vehicle door exterior of a vehicle. The first panel assembly further includes a padded portion detachably mounted to the first panel. The padded portion may be secured to a window sill of a door of the vehicle. A pet may comfortably ride within the vehicle while resting their paws or head atop of the padded portion. Mounted detachably to a rear of the padded portion is a second panel. The second panel drapes over a vehicle door interior for protection against damage from pets. Importantly, the second panel includes a ballast or weighted material at a lower end to ensure that the second panel remains in place and draping over the vehicle door interior.
