About

Felony Prosecutor Turned Dog Rescuer Amidst the pandemic I, like many people, found myself without a job and stuck in pandemic lock down for months on end. After months of stillness and uncertainty, I had enough of sitting around waiting for something to happen. Having purchased my first National Parks pass the week pandemic lock downs began, I was eager to get my money’s worth from my newly acquired pass. As many national parks and forest began reopening and having been confined to my house and limited walks around the neighborhood for three months, I thought a few nights in the woods and under the stars would do me some good. In June of 2020 I set out for the Buffalo National River where I would spend five days and nights along the river banks, reacquainting myself with nature. As the weekend approached, I spoke with friends back home to see if there were any mentions of pandemic restrictions easing. The news from home was not positive, and I had a decision to make. In 9 hours, I could be back home, back to comforts and familiarity, back to my old life, back to the mundane. In 10 hours, I could be in the Colorado Rockies, into the unknown, into the wild, complete uncertainty, but endless possibilities for adventure. I chose the latter and the rest is history. For the next three months I would travel over 20,000 miles through some of the most beautiful and isolated parts of this country. Every day spent completely out of my comfort zone, every day a new life lesson, a summer of wonder, and the rarity of feeling truly alive. Prior to the pandemic I was already well aware that my heart was no longer in practicing law. Every day spent doing it was day spent doing something I did not like doing, something writer and orator Alan Watts referred to as “STUPID!”. No longer wishing to be “stupid” I set out in search of a career unburdened by the mundane. I wanted a life of adventure, filled joy, and feeling alive. I knew the exhilaration of traveling the country and yearned for the possibility to continue my journey. As luck would have it, I stumbled upon CitizenShipper. Not expecting much from it, perhaps a trip once in a while to tide over my yearning for adventure until a new calling revealed itself, I was astonished that there was enough work to make it my full-time gig. Today I have completed over 200,000 miles of successful pet transports all over the country, and I’m eager to travel hundreds of thousands more miles. Every day I get to do this job, every time I successful deliver a happy pet to a happy owner, bring my endless joy I never found in any other work in my nearly 30 years of employment. If you have taken the time the read this, thank you! And if you care to join me on this journey, endless “thank yous” for the opportunity to continue living a dream!

RM pet couriers was the easiest service I've ever experienced. Robert was very professional and quick to respond. The open communication was outstanding! I've never used a service like this before and Robert made it so much less stressful. My family moved from California to Kentucky and we were unable to bring our dog on the plane due to his breed. It was hard to find someone willing to move a pit bull mix weighing 80lbs but Robert cared for him like any other dog. Robert also shares pictures and his location the entire trip. I would definitely use RM pet couriers again and recommend to anyone moving their pets short or long distances.

RM exceeded my expectations! Robert is the best! He took amazing care of my older, diabetic pug mix dog. He communicated every step along the way and followed through on everything he said he was going to do. He even gave my dog insulin shots twice a day!!!! His pictures are amazing and left me with so many fantastic memories of Isaac's voyage across the country! I would not hesitate to hire Robert again. I am recommending him to all of my pet loving friends!!!!

RM did an excellent job with our golden retriever. He was on time, communicated clearly the whole time, and had a great set up for our dog. I will use him again!

From reading the profile of RM Pet Couriers all the way through the safe delivery of my babies, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. RM shared photos before he even collected my dogs to ensure I was comfortable with the way they would travel. I highly recommend RM Pet Couriers for anyone that needs to transport animals or anything they care about and wish to have the highest level of service delivery. RM Pet Couriers helped me in a time of need and brought my babies to me when I was thinking there was no way to get then across the country.

Strong communication, worked with us on our schedules. Treated my animals well, and generally just a good person. Impressive photography sent daily. Animals were less stressed than I anticipated, and did very well with him. Cross country trip took 4 days, I anticipated 5, he made great time and communicated very well. Regular updates.
