A Chance Discovery Leads to a Dream Job

Devin’s path to becoming a pet transporter was serendipitous. Initially engaged in independent gig work with Uber and DoorDash, his life took an exciting turn thanks to a neighbor in need of assistance with dog walking. This encounter eventually led him to CitizenShipper. “To be able to drive/fly with animals I love is a dream compared to dropping off food all day,” Devin shares.

Not Just a Job, But a Gateway to Adventure

Devin vividly remembers his first assignment with CitizenShipper — a flight from Miami to Chicago to deliver two cats. However, the most memorable shipment to date took him all the way to Chile, marking his first visit to South America. “I was able to fly to Chile recently to drop off a kitty. My first time in South America, so that was great!” beams Devin, highlighting the unique travel opportunities his job affords.

A Day in the Life on the Road

Transporting pets is a responsibility Devin takes seriously. His primary vehicle, a Honda Minivan, is perfectly equipped for safe and comfortable travels. Frequent stops are part of his regimen to ensure the pets are at ease. “I stop frequently to their needing,” he explains, underscoring the importance of pet welfare in his line of work. When asked about his routes, he prefers the Southeast region, attributing his choice to familiarity and ease of navigation over flat terrain.

The Secret Sauce to Success: Consistency and Communication

Devin attributes his success to a couple of key practices: consistency and excellent communication.

Challenges on the Road and Overcoming Them

Like any job, pet transport comes with its set of challenges. Devin recalls facing flat tires and engine problems, among other unforeseen difficulties. His strategy is always to plan with buffer time for potential setbacks. “I planned the trips with leeway rooms to set backs so I have time to fix the problem and still be on track to the destination,” he wisely notes. This forward-thinking approach has helped him maintain reliability and trust with his clients.

The Sweet Rewards of a Job Well Done

At the heart of Devin’s narrative is a profound appreciation for the unique benefits his work offers.
