About

Hi, I’m Rachel, an Army veteran and the owner of RAE Animal Transport. I started this business because I believe pets deserve to be treated like family, not freight. Whether it’s a short trip or a long journey, I’m here to make sure your pet travels with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️🚐 I focus on keeping travel stress low by planning efficient routes, limiting stops, and giving each pet personal attention throughout the trip. I offer VIP private transports as well as small shared rides (never overcrowded). Your pet will travel in a clean, climate-controlled vehicle with disinfected crates, fresh bedding, and plenty of comfort breaks. Puppies always have fresh pads, and feeding schedules, medications, and special needs are followed exactly as instructed. You’ll receive regular photo and location updates every few hours, so you always know how your pet is doing. I’ve transported dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I adjust care based on each pet’s personality and needs. I’m fully certified and insured, with 3+ years of cross-country driving experience in all weather conditions. As a veteran, I bring reliability, discipline, and care to every transport. Payment is simple and transparent: No payment upfront. 50% at pickup and 50% upon safe delivery. Payments accepted via Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, Apple Cash, Cash App, or cash. 📌 Note: If booking through CitizenShipper, their platform fee is separate and does not go to RAE Animal Transport. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pet like their own, I’d be happy to help get them home safely. All animals welcome – Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles — I’ve cared for them all, and I adjust to meet each pet’s unique needs. 💬 Feedback is welcome! Your reviews — good or bad — help me grow and improve. Fair pricing, flexible options, and a genuine commitment to doing right by your pets. RAE Animal Transport Veteran-owned • Reliable • Compassionate 🐾

Rachel was a perfect transporter, from our first phone visit, to the time she arrived to our home with our new puppy. Unfortunately the flight in which our puppy arrived to Dallas was late, so her journey from Dallas to our state was delayed for more than two hours. Rachel kept us apprised every step of the way. We appreciated Rachel’s professional, yet approachable disposition. We highly suggest Rachel for your pet transport needs!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rachel M. is an outstanding dog transport professional. From start to finish, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animal care. She handled every detail with professionalism and genuine compassion, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout the process. My dog arrived safely, calm, and well cared for, exactly as promised. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog transport specialist. — Dr. West

Jeni was my driver and overall did a great job! Rachael set up a Life360 tracker so I could check in on their progress, and Jeni sent photo and video updates of my pup throughout the ride. They both responded to messages quickly and Jeni was very caring towards my pet. I would definitely use their service again :)

Words can’t express my gratitude for Rachel. Rachel brought my dog from Conroe, Tx to Romeoville, IL. Rachel was kind, professional, reliable and her communication was exceptional. I will definitely book her again. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel is a germ; she went above and beyond that our two dogs will make it safe from Dallas to Clovis. After a long flight from overseas, she ensured our two dogs are comfortable, and kept us updated. When we greeted our two dogs at the destination, they came relaxed and happy to us. Whenever we need a pet taxi, we will book her again; I highly recommend RAE Animal transport.

Rachael was super sweet and took care of my 11 month old puppy from Dallas to Chicago. She was able to get her home in 26 hours. HIRE HER

Rachel was totally awesome with the two cockatiels rescued from animal control. She went above and beyond to make sure they were pulled and brought directly to me keeping them from winding up separated or in a breeding facilty. I am so happy and so are the birds..Henry and Baby Bird. They rode all the way here alongside Rachel in the front seat in their travel cage and treated as cherished pets and companions. I am thrilled with Rachel and RAE Animal Transport. I am in rescue and will be referring RAE Animal Transport to my network as a trustworthy, animal-loving, gentle and respectful means of getting our animals safely to their new homes.

It was lovely meeting Erica from RAE Animal Transports. She picked up our dog and cat with their heavy duty skykennels from IAG Cargo in Austin to our Location 4 hours away. The pets came from a long haul overseas flight and were treated with care. She drove them late at night and was so patient with them and us. Will always reconsider using RAE if I need transportation for my furry sons. Thanks to Rachel for the swift replies, even communicating from overseas. She coordinated everything Erica and I would need. Erica did a great job at the Airport working and collaborating with the Air General and our Customs Broker. She did great communicating and completing paperwork and customs handling fees for me while I was absent. Thank you so much. The pets are doing great they are well rested and spending their time in front of the window watching squirrels. ♥️
