About

PLEASE READ ALL BELOW INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING. PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING BECAUSE LOGISTICS CHANGE QUICKLY AS I BID OTHER TRANSPORTS. Hello! I am a retired teacher, dog mom, traveler, and driver. Along with my husband, sons, daughter, and my mom, our family provides transport services as Walter and Sons Puppy Runs. We have been driving and transporting for 7 years. CitizenShipper is our newest transport venture. We pick up/deliver your animals with care and respect. Sometimes we drive as a team. Sometimes we do solo transports with only a driver as the transporter. My sons call themselves the “puppy mannies” when they are a part of the transport team. We specialize in VIPuppy transports and only rarely combine multiple transports from different breeders or homes at one time. Our price reflects our dedication to transporting your pet in a quality manner with as little stress as possible. We make sure that animals are well cared for, exercised, and carefully fed throughout the journey. We sanitize and clean carriers consistently during transports. We make sure the ride is as comfortable as possible. Vehicles are spotless. We stay in touch during transport (unless we are in a cell phone dead zone). We offer express service and get your pet to you in a timely manner. The bottom line is that we are good, Iowa people who are honest and careful. We are pet lovers. We know pets. Please consider us for your animal transport. Happy Tails to you! Allison, Rod, Gloria, Naomi, Kai, and Charlie Transaction Guidelines: -We take cash, Venmo, Apple Pay, Zelle, Cash App, and PayPal. -50% non-refundable retainer is due on the day of booking, no exceptions. This retainer holds your date. Without a retainer, a date is not secured. -USDA approved certification number 42-T-0036: - We require that puppies are clean, healthy, and have any travel/vaccination documents. -Vaccinations must be up to date. --We transport in an efficient manner. Please have a person ready to receive your pet when we arrive as there are other transports waiting in que. -If no one is available at the drop off location, there is a $30.00 per hour service charge for wait time for that day of arrival or $500 per day waiting fee. -We will not transport puppies who have not been vet checked or cleared for travel. We want to keep the pups safe and healthy. -If place, time and/or date of pick up and delivery is changed after a deposit is made, there is a $100 to $500 change fee(depending on the difficulty in logistics changes). Every transport job is a part of a bigger logistics route. If a client wants a different location, date, and/or pick up or drop off, other clients are inconvenienced and a fee is charged. Our price is separate from CitizenShipper's fee. Arrival times are estimates and are subject to change due to weather, traffic, road work, human rest breaks, and pet rest breaks. We don't participate in financial transactions between breeders and buyers nor do we help facilitate cash transactions. We only pick up, transport, and deliver. Final payment is always due upon delivery. Please don't ask us to cancel our transport on the Citizenshipper forum. If you change your mind about purchasing a pet transport, cancellation is a buyer's responsibility. Once our services are secured and a bid is accepted, we have committed to you. Retainers are non-refundable because we design pickups and deliveries based on logistics. Please, only book our services if you are 100% sure that you need us. Retainers remain due and will not be refunded if we are booked and you decide to cancel. Gratuities/Tips are appreciated and accepted.

OMG! Allison, is beyond amazing in every way! She is a great communicator and answered all of my questions and concerns quickly. She kept me in the loop for Levi’s travels and took an amazing care of him. I would sooooooo hire her again to transport any of my critters. There is not enough I can say how great she is…Thank you so much Allison and keep up the amazing work.! M

Honestly, I was so nervous about having our dog and car transported, but I am so happy with Allison. She was so kind and made everything so easy! She kept in touch with me the entire time and I was able to she where she was on her journey the whole time. Our dog and care were taken such good care of. I’m very appreciative of her services! Would highly recommend and I would definitely use her service again myself! Thank you Allison!
