Hayley was amazing! She transported my 12 yo Boston and 4 yo Cur across the country. Before I even picked up my phone to ask how they were Hayley was already sending updates and photos - she really put this crazy dog mama at ease! When the boys arrived, they were as happy as can be. 10/10
Thank you so much, Hayley
I cannot say enough great things about Hayley VIPaws Express, and our particular driver, Colin. I was so nervous about shipping my puppy, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so professional, polite, and gave my girl wonderful care! I will absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone with precious cargo that needs a ride.
This was the Gold Standard of Pet Transport — Nothing Else Compares!!
I rarely write reviews, but some experiences are so exceptional, so reassuring, and so deeply appreciated that silence would be a disservice. Our recent journey with Hayley’s VIPaws Express was exactly that — exceptional in every sense. From the first inquiry to the final handoff, every interaction was marked by grace, professionalism, and genuine compassion. We entrusted her with transporting our new Basset Hound from Eldon, Missouri to California — and what we received in return was so much more than a transport service.
Hayley is not simply a driver — she is a caregiver, a companion, and a calming presence for animals in transition. She approached our puppy with kindness, patience, and the instinctive understanding of someone who truly loves what she does. She earned his trust without rushing, ensured his comfort at every step, and provided consistent, heartfelt updates and photos that put us and the breeder completely at ease. It was clear from the start: this wasn’t just a logistical task — it was a personal mission handled with the care every animal deserves.
And here’s the part many overlook: Hayley was not the cheapest quote we received — and she certainly wasn’t the most expensive. But if you're choosing transport based solely on cost, you're looking at the wrong metric. The value of what Hayley provides can’t be measured in dollars alone. She delivers peace of mind, a sense of security, and the rare comfort of knowing your pet is in the hands of someone who cares as much as you do.
Her operation is flawless — responsive, detail-oriented, and clearly built on a foundation of experience and empathy. Hayley has set the standard in an industry that too often treats animals like cargo. With her, your pet is treated like family. I would trust her again in an instant — and our breeder and I will be recommending her to every fellow pet parent I know.
So professional! This is how you properly run a VIP business.
This was our first time using CitizenShipper and I was anxious about entrusting our two golden retrievers to a stranger to drive them across the county. I cannot express how excellent Hayley's VIPaws Express and her driver, Niki, are and how thrilled we are with the service. From beginning to end, it was professional, positive and easy. Niki is fantastic and my dogs loved her. I am recommending Hayley's VIPaws Express to all of my friends and will be using them exclusively in the future. They are the best!!
It's 5 Stars for me! I didn't know this type of service existed... desperately needed to get my dog home from AZ to OH. The airlines couldn't help me. Hayley's VIPaws Express was able to squeeze me into their schedule and picked up my beloved dog a few days earlier than originally scheduled, which worked out perfectly for me. Me and my dog Soxx couldn't be happier now that we're reunited. Highly recommend!!
Amazing experience! Hayley”s VIPaws were absolute professionals. They had excellent communication, They pick up and delivery were seamless. They even arrived early! They sent pictures of my dog throughout the journey. I would definitely recommend and use them again.
What a great experience from start to finish. We have a special needs German Shepard and the driver Rhent went out of his way to make our guy feel comfortable, all the way from CA to Alabama! I would use Hayley again no doubt.
Dogs showed up happy and healthy and that’s all I could ask for! I was updated along the way, overall smooth process
Working with Hayley was amazing. We had a situation where we needed to rehome a ten year old cat after a death in the family. Haley made the process easy and provided updates along the way to ease the concerns of a family member who was very nervous about Queenie making this journey. We could not recommend Haley more highly.
