About

We are Vince and Joy, a husband/wife transport team. This IS what we do, not a side hustle, hobby or just a means to let you pay for our summer vacation. On the ground or in the air, we have you covered with door to door transport of your beloved pets. Vince is a retired, disabled Army combat veteran who now has the coolest job in the world getting paid to play w animals. He is currently studying at Animal Behavioral College to be a certified cat and dog trainer when he (hopefully) grows up. We do NOT outsource to other delivery companies. Some things are too important to delegate to others, so from pickup to delivery, Pet Chariot is with you all the way. Family operated business, so team drivers and on-board caregivers (when applicable) are trusted and operating to our standards. Both ground and air transport are available and each have their pros and cons. All initial bids are for ground transport only. Air transport bids are separate and only valid for 24 hours. Air transport trips require 50% deposit at time of booking. If you choose air transport, your pet will need a travel certification from your local vet. You will need to provide a FAA approved pet crate. (Walmart crates are usually travel approved). If you don’t have one, Pet Chariot can provide them for an additional fee. Be it ground or air transport, we are with your pet personally from beginning to end and we do NOT outsource to 3rd party expeditors. All ground pet transports are done with the company van, even the regional short runs. This enables us to maintain crates and feeding without needing to put pets on the ground. That means when we transport young pets, they are contained within the climate controlled van the entire trip and aren’t exposed to anything unthinkable along the way. Controlled, secured, contained environment the whole trip. Might be OCD to some, but when it comes to pets, especially babies, OCD can be a good thing. Spotless driving record. No moving violations in over 20 years and no at-fault accidents EVER. Red Cross certified for pet first aid and CPR USDA Certified for animal transport. Insured through Petcare Based out of Nashville, TN Veteran with military-specific training in transport (bus and semi-trucks) with proof of training available. Non-smoker. Lifelong pet owner. Well versed in the “check, double-check” way of life, so we know the value of procedure. Redundant hookups anytime we are walking or transitioning your pet (sometimes, OCD matters). All pets are air-tagged so you can track their journey and we provide regular photo and video updates. Hands free communication during the duration of the trip. NOTE: Your service fee with citizen shipper is a separate transaction. You are paying them for their service as a broker and you pay us separately for our service as a transporter once you accept our bid. Please confirm the dates with us before approving the bid or you risk your bid being cancelled. 25% non-refundable deposit required to book the transport. (Sorry we have to ask for a deposit, but last minute cancellations force us to alter entire routes). (50% required for air transport). We are in the business of diligent transport and like elsewhere in the transit industry, a route isn’t booked until it’s booked. We are unable to “pencil in” or reserve routes unless they are officially booked through citizen shipper. Thanks for your understanding. Unless otherwise specified, bids are for shared transport where there may be other pets on board. -All initial bids are for ground transport. Air transport bids will be separate. -All pets are crate secured, are walked separately and never come into direct contact with each other. -for pets under 16 weeks, we maintain a no paws on the ground policy to minimize the risk of parvo, distemper or other disease. -VIP (solo) routes are priced separately, so feel free to request a VIP bid if you prefer.

Vince took great care of my beautiful, scared Russian Bolonka when I had to transport him 17 hours away. Great communication, pictures, videos and phone calls keeping me updated reassured me I had made the right decision! He was amazing with my dog who is scared of men! I can’t recommend him highly enough if you need a professional driver for your pet! Don’t think twice, hire him! I will use him again!

Vince with The Pet Chariot is the absolute best!! This was our first experience with a transporter and we couldn’t be happier. He kept us updated the entire trip with pictures and videos of our new puppy. He went above and beyond to make sure the ride was a comfortable and safe as possible. I was so impressed with his compassion and trustworthiness!!! It’s so hard these days to find someone who does what they say they’re going to do but Vince did exactly that! His rate was more than fair. His communication from beginning to end really put our mind at ease and we are so thankful to have found him!!! He is one of the good guys……. And that’s a rarity these days!

Excellent service! Was very accommodating, flexible, and open to all of our requests. Vehicle was large enough to transport all pet accessories as well (including 2 large cat towers). Kept an open line of communication with us and gave frequent updates during the trip itself. Transport took exactly as long as expected and our kitty was healthy and happy. 😊 Would absolutely use again!
