      About

      Most people shipping a pet don’t say it out loud, but they’re all thinking the same thing: who is this person, really? The profile looks okay. The stats seem fine. But this either is, or is going-to-be your family. And once they’re in that car, you’re trusting someone you’ve never met to care about them the way you do. I own a Corgi. The first time I handed him to a stranger, I spent the whole day waiting for updates that never came. That experience is why I built everything about how I operate around one principle: you should never have to wonder. 75 trips. 5 stars on every one. Zero cancellations. Pet Transport Expert. Every customer who’s booked me has either returned or referred someone else. I specialize in the I-5 corridor: Washington, Oregon, and California. Not occasionally. As a territory I know deeply. I plan for traffic windows, weather patterns, and rest stops before they become problems. I don’t get lost, I don’t get caught off guard, and I don’t go quiet. Here’s what every transport includes regardless of tier: stops every 2–4 hours so your pet can stretch, drink purified water, eat, and reset. Kennels sanitized between every transport. Blankets washed. Disposable bowls to prevent cross-contamination. Live location shared as I approach pickup and as we close in on delivery. Behavior and mood updates at every stop along with the coordinates. Multiple crate sizes on board. I sleep 6–8 hours minimum, because being a tired driver is a risk I don’t take. If I stay at a hotel, your pet stays with me. My Travel Options: Standard (Shared): Your pet travels with up to two others, all fully separated. Photo and video updates at every stop. Live location on approach. You’ll know exactly where they are. VIP (Solo): Your pet is the only animal in the vehicle. Hourly text check-ins between stops. Priority scheduling with pickup as soon as next day, delivery typically within one to two days. You’ll know how your pet is doing before you even think to ask. I’ve transported dogs, cats, pigs, bearded dragons, and animals with medical conditions, anxiety, car sickness, age-related needs, and special handling requirements. If your pet has a situation, tell me before you book. Those are exactly the kind of trips I take most seriously. The risk of choosing wrong on a platform like this isn’t just a disappointing experience. It’s hours of not knowing if your animal is okay. It’s a driver who goes quiet mid-route. It’s finding out something happened after you can’t do anything about it. If at any point during our transport you feel out of the loop, message me directly. I’ll make it right before we arrive. More reviews doesn’t always mean more care. At some point, volume becomes routine. This is still my reputation, not my routine, which means every transport gets my full attention, not just my presence. The 2023 Civic handles pet transport: VIP and shared. The 2023 VW Atlas handles larger animals, larger loads, and cargo with trailer capacity for bigger jobs. I never rent vehicles. I’m not chasing fares. I’m building something on this corridor, one trip at a time. Your experience is what my next booking depends on. Message me before you book. I’d rather answer every question twice than have you uncertain for a second.

      Ricardo took good care of puppy, communicated and sent pics frequently, arrived on time. Would use him again if I were to need it.

      This was the first time I ever had an out of state move and the task of moving 3 cats was just a touch daunting. Up until this point, I didn’t even know such services existed. Am I ever grateful they do. I signed up with citizen shipper and was immediately offered up many options of people that I combed through. I read several, but was really impressed with what Ricardo had to say and so I contacted him. Eventually I was able to speak directly as I decided he was the right person to entrust with my precious cargo. Payment was easy and communication was 100% on point throughout the entire time leading up to the trip and through it. Ricardo took great care of my guys and I’m very grateful for that. I highly recommend Ricardo, hire him with complete confidence.

      Absolutely amazing service! He’s very sweet, respectful, and always provides multiple updates both with pictures and ETA updates, and is very quick with communication! There were absolutely no issues with handling, and everything with my chinchilla was fairly smooth sailing. For my first time booking a pet transporting service, I was incredibly nervous to start with, but he absolutely has my complete confidence, and I would highly recommend him!

      Ricardo did a great job transporting my dog up the West Coast. He kept me up to date on everything, and was very flexible on the pick up and drop off. Most importantly, my dog had a great time with him!

      Ricardo gave a prompt bid with a great price, offered convenient scheduling, and showed great care for my nervous kitty on the long drive. Gave updates throughout the day so I wasn't worried. Kitty arrived safe and happy. I didn't even realize pet transport services like this existed, and it's a game-changer. Will absolutely hire again.

      Ricardo took the very best care of my Louie from his trip to california from washington. I chose this service because Louie is very timid and I think the plane would’ve been very traumatic for him. I was updated throughout their journey with photos. 10/10 recommend.

      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ricardo was absolutely amazing with our dog, Tua. Tua is very anxious, doesn't do well around other animals, and can be a challenging dog to transport. Throughout the trip, he chewed on his kennel, barked, and whined quite a bit, but Ricardo remained incredibly patient, kind, and understanding the entire time. It was clear that he genuinely cared about Tua's well-being and made sure he was safe and as comfortable as possible. Knowing our dog was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful move. We truly appreciate everything Ricardo did and would highly recommend him to anyone needing pet transportation!

      Ricardo was fantastic from start to finish. He was one of the first transporters to reach out to me with a fair, reasonable bid. He had enough positive reviews to make me feel confident choosing him, but what really stood out was how personable, professional, and easy he was to communicate with. He was able to pick up our puppy a day earlier than expected, which was a huge bonus. Throughout the entire trip, I never had to ask for updates or pictures—Ricardo kept me informed every step of the way on his own. He also asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, which showed how attentive and experienced he is. Our Doberman puppy, Cyna, is under 14 weeks old, so minimizing her exposure to diseases like parvo was extremely important to us. Ricardo took extra precautions to ensure she wasn’t accidentally exposed to high-risk areas, giving us tremendous peace of mind during her journey. Cyna arrived happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would recommend Ricardo without hesitation, and I would absolutely use him again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about the animals he transports, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Ricardo! Sending blessings to you in your business!
