About

Hi, I’m Justin, the owner and operator of Captain Slinky Pet Services! 🚐🐾 The name comes from my cat, Slinky, a gray tabby I adopted from the Humane Society. Sadly, his back legs weren’t working right, so he sort of slinked instead of walked—and with his color, the name Slinky stuck! 😄 For years, he rode shotgun with me on long drives, hotel stays, and cross-country routes, becoming my constant co-pilot and reminding me that animals aren’t cargo—they’re family. After Slinky passed away, I honored him by promoting him to Captain, naming the business in his memory and committing myself to running a transport service built on the same patience, calm, and trust he gave me on the road. Today, I travel with my co-pilot Scrappy, a 10-year-old miniature poodle I adopted in August just before he was going to be euthanized. He loves people and animals alike and is a gentle, calming presence on the road. 🐩❤️ I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience owning and fostering dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, plus over 25 years volunteering with the Humane Society. Professionally, I’ve safely transported over 1,500 pets across the lower 48 states, earning over 150 verified 5-star reviews on CitizenShipper—all from real clients and real transports you can review directly on my profile. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a solo professional driver, your pet is never passed off to anyone else. Pets travel in a clean, climate-controlled vehicle with secure crating for cats and small animals, frequent potty, walk, and hydration breaks every 3–4 hours, and pet-friendly hotel stays on longer routes. I provide consistent communication, GPS updates, and photos so you’re never left wondering how your pet is doing. Captain Slinky may no longer be riding shotgun, but his standards are still on board for every trip. 🐾 ALL ABOARD THE SLINKY EXPRESS. 🚐🐾

I couldn’t be happier with this experience. I hired him literally the night before pickup, and he still went above and beyond. He picked my dog up in Florida and brought her to me in Baltimore, and she arrived happy, healthy, and clearly well taken care of. He checked in with me during the drive and sent photos, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing pet transport.

Top Tier Service - Justin is amazing! I was quite concerned about a 1400 mile journey for my (3) pets, but he made this happen so easily and stress free for my pets. Justin provided steady communication, along with photos and videos during the trip. I couldn't possibly have asked for more! Worth every penny - I highly recommend!

Justin was excellent & careful with all my stuff going into my new place in W Palm Beach. His van was room & could have managed prob 3x as much stuff as I sent. He made it to my storage unit the next day w everything 100% intact and I had great communication from him the whole time. He’s very nice and accommodating & I highly recommend him for transport of your belongings!
