I keep a spreadsheet of which Indonesian carriers take animals, and Sriwijaya Air sits in the no column: pets aren't allowed in the cabin or as accompanied baggage. Worth noting what that sentence doesn't say — it addresses the two passenger routes, so treat manifest air cargo as unanswered rather than as a yes. Luna disapproves of ambiguity almost as much as taxiing.
Sriwijaya Air does not carry dogs or cats — not in the cabin, and not in the hold. There are no weight limits, fees or crate specifications to compare, because there is no pet service to book. This page shows the airline's own wording below, so you can stop checking and start looking at carriers that do fly pets on the route.

Domestic Indonesian legs are the awkward part of most itineraries here, because the carrier list is short and the pet-friendly subset is shorter. Work out that segment before you book anything international, since it constrains everything upstream of it. Then put the plan together in one pass. I keep a printed copy in three places now, and I have never once regretted the third.
