About

Hi there, 👋 I'm Kyle with MK Transport. 💫 Thanks for checking out my profile! My wife and I decided that our love of animals combined with our business etiquette (good communication, punctuality and friendliness) would be a winning combination in the pet transportation industry. We are a family owned and operated business based out of McCook, NE with everything from Dobermans to horses of our own. 🐩 🐕 🐶 🐱 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐎 Welcome to our profile on Citizen Shipper!💨 We’ve transported everything from puppies 🐶, cats, and horses 🐴 over the last few years, so we know what it takes to move animals safely. We will take care of your precious loved one as though they were one of our own, all while giving you 📸 photo & video 📹 updates along the way and making your transportation 🚐 a great experience. Our biohazard ☣️ control program is top notch, which is above and beyond simply sanitizing. 🧼 Because visually cleaning a surface is great,🚩 but we make sure that we’re killing any viruses or microorganisms 🦠 by disinfecting our kennels after every single pet, every single time. We know it makes a difference when it’s your loved one, and we always go the extra mile to keep any pet in our care as safe and comfortable as we’d keep our own. Which for us includes using top end, proven impact rated kennels to ensure your pets safety no matter what happens while traveling. Their safety is paramount. ❤️ We are also large Doberman parents as well, and adore transporting other people’s too, so larger furkids do NOT bother us in the slightest, not only are we able to cater to larger breed dogs, we love ❤️ them, and have plenty of space to ensure they’re comfortable while traveling. HEADS UP! Citizen Shipper does charge a "finders fee" for providing their service, which is ON TOP of our bid price. This fee is applied when you confirm a bid and book with someone. We don't want you to be caught off guard when you go to book. Also, some shippers fees to book are higher due to their cancellations, so be careful who you book with as it COULD result in a higher booking fee. Double check what you have selected at check out to avoid paying for extra “add ons.” We do require 50% upon bidding to confirm and schedule your pickup and the remainder is due upon PICKUP of your pet. We had to change our policy due to payment delays. Cancellations with notice prior to 24 hrs of pickup we’re happy to refund 50% of the remaining balance to cover our costs and rerouting. We do try to work with minor schedule changes, as we understand that things can happen unexpectedly and will do our absolute best to accommodate people when we can, even if you need later arrangements. 😊 We do ask that people be flexible on pickup and delivery by a couple of days to allow for traffic, weather, exercise/potty breaks etc. if it’s not a private, solo transport. Traveling coast to coast is a little more technical, and we cannot control variables like traffic, weather or construction. Private transports are guaranteed dates/times and booked at a higher rate to compensate for that. We use invoices for payment and also accept Credit Cards,💳 💵 and Afterpay. (So payments if you need) We require just a simple non refundable deposit to confirm you on the route and guarantee pickup. We only bill via invoices. We require animals to be sent with a collar, leash, any relevant vet records (health certificate/UTD vaccine record) and food for during their travel. (Small ziplocks, or a couple large ones work great for this! No food bins) Do they have a favorite toy or comfort item? You’re welcome to send it with us! We want them to be as comfortable as possible. We like to know when they last ate so that we can accommodate them at their same feeding times. 🍱 We do ask that you limit their collective items to a small backpack size travel bag or similar unless other arrangements are discussed prior. Please be honest about the size of your pets so that we can prepare & to avoid any additional fees. We always transport animals in their own, individual private kennels for their safety and protection and to limit as many environmental variables as possible. Same household pets receive that same courtesy unless specifically requested otherwise. 😊 (personal private space is something we all can appreciate right?) Puppies without all of their vaccines are puppy pads only, which eliminates the risk of them being exposed to other contaminants along the way. We always prioritize small ones travel so they get to their new homes as quickly, and as stress free as possible. As breeders ourselves, we understand the responsibility when it comes to choosing someone to transport your new animal. How fragile they truly are, and what to look for while traveling to avoid any issues and the necessity for new puppies to spend as little time in transport as possible. ❤️ We go the extra mile to make sure they get there as quickly as possible and without any issue. We’re not a huge company, which means extra care, consideration and ❤️personalization goes into every single transport we do. We truly believe that quality care is more important than quantity, and will make every effort to get your pet to you in the least amount of time, in the least stressful way, for you and THEM and ensure you a great experience with us. And most importantly we strive to be fair and affordable for the everyday person, because after all, that’s who we work with. 😊 We’re always happy to answer any questions that you may have, and we really like to follow up after your acceptance of our bid with a phone call so that we can exchange information and get every delivery perfect! 🤩 😍 👍 If you’re traveling please let us know what your departure and arrival dates/times are so that we can coordinate accordingly to make your travel easier. USDA Registered ✅ Pet Transportation Insured ✅ Background checked ✅ DOT # ✅ Total pet lovers ✅ Fair price guarantee ✅ Photo/video updates ✅ ETA updates ✅ Pet first aid ✅ Communication ✅ And we cannot stress enough how important it is to be selective of who you are choosing to trust to transport your pet. So many new people are getting into this industry, without the proper knowledge or equipment to do so. If there are pictures on a transporters profile of animals being hauled loosely in a back/front seat, RUN 🏃‍♀️! This is not only unsafe for your pets, it’s also completely against the law. This also guarantees these company’s are not covered by any pet insurance policies as it isn’t a covered practice. (Accidents/injury from other pets/escaping) It is so common to hear stories this year about pets being “lost” by transporters, and it is because of these types of negligent practices. Also, back seats, beds, cloth and blankets CANNOT properly be sanitized, so there is no way to eliminate viruses or follow proper biohazard control between animals. (Since posting this detail in our profile many transporters have now changed theirs to match, please ask HOW they sanitize, as this this extremely important) Be informed, and just because they’re the cheapest, does not mean that your pet will be safe. When it’s your pets safety at stake, we believe IT MATTERS. ❤️ Another dead giveaway is very new profiles bidding transports extremely low, or much less than other companies, phrases used like “USDA licensed” (as they do not license anyone) and transport companies claiming to be “licensed veterinary technicians.” (This is a separate individual license that is regulated in each state, and cannot practice in other states where they are not also carrying a license- additionally that license is easily looked up online by the public and only under direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian) And my personal favorite- “501(c)3 organizations” claiming to also be transportation companies- while the claim sounds wonderful, it’s absolutely 100% false, on principle by law, organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status must not serve any private interests, and their earnings must be used for charitable purposes ONLY. In addition, all assets have to be permanently dedicated to a charitable purpose. Does transporting animals for hire sound charitable? So it’s a lovely story, but a story, and nothing more. These are just a few of the scams that we want people to be on the lookout for, and things they can use to identify less than reputable practices. And as always, check references on other platforms for presence elsewhere too! Real, honest, reliable operations always have a presence. ❤️ Please be careful out there folks! And most importantly, ask questions and make sure you’re talking to a real person. 💯❤️ Many companies use autobid features and simply subcontract your transport out to another company for a lower rate. We’re always happy to answer any questions you have, any time! Please let us know your departure date/time and your expected arrival date/time if you are on both the shipping and receiving ends so that we can try to accommodate the pickup/delivery times accordingly. We strongly encourage pet parents to make accommodations when necessary at the other end for the pets arrival as we do not wish to board any pets any longer than necessary after transportation to their destination. (They also really want to not just be bored and not doing anything exciting either) Please make alternative arrangements if your travel plans are delayed, extended, or taking the scenic route. While we do try to be understanding of individual or emergency circumstances, please understand that we cannot “hang out” with your pet for additional hours/days in the delivery area while you visit friends/relatives etc. Additionally these delays affect other people, and animals on our current, and future routes and we ask you to please be thoughtful of them too. Additional days/late fees will be charged at a rate of $50, plus lodging expenses if necessary. Our bid does not reflect tax.

MK Transport is an incredible company. I was so overwhelmed with this process as I had never done it before. I was a total stress ball to say the least. Kaylee & Kyle brought us so much ease and were so kind and patient with us. You can just tell they love what they do and they truly care so much about every pet they transport. The frequent updates were amazing, communication with them was so smooth at all times and I just couldn’t recommend them more. I’ll never go with a different transport company in the future. I will be recommending them to anyone needing this service moving forward. So if you’re looking for help with transport, trust me when I say these are the people to trust with your pets. ❤️❤️ Thank you!

We were very pleased!! We had our son’s 2-year old Siberian Husky transported from PA to CO. We had an exact date that we needed the dog picked up. Not only did they accommodate that date, the driver (Joey) was so sweet and kind to the dog during the entire, long journey. The dog was comfortable with Joey immediately. Joey texted us updates and photos along the way. We would definitely us them again and recommend to our friends. Top notch!

MK Transport was above and beyond what I expected. I was extremely anxious about sending Nova with people she did not know but they were amazing!! They kept in the loop and they answered the millions of questions I had. They provided pictures and called with updates often. Not to mention the trip was very fast. I am very grateful for their services and would definitely recommend!

I couldn't be happier with the over-and-above level Kyle dedicated to our rescue mission to get our dog home! They not only gave priority because of our somewhat desperate situation, but gave constant updates, agreed to work with our unique situation to make the out-of-the-way logistics work, and when we had unexpected delays in the drop-off due to weather, Kyle even made a special delivery to our home and cleared some of the snow for us. These people truly love and care for animals, and I couldn't have asked for a better result and experience from the situation we found ourselves in needing to transport our dog over 1250 miles! Thanks so much for everything, and keeping doing what you do!
