About

I am proudly retired from United States Air Force. Originally from Massachusetts, currently residing in California. I have traveled across the country both driving and flying with pets numerous times. I have driven for both Lyft and Uber and love to have passengers. My last employment was for medical transport. I love animals and I believe they can sense it. I currently have a dog, part Pit Bull and part Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I have grown up with pets: cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, birds, etc. and they are like family members. I have also transported vehicles from one location to another with early successful deliveries. I also have a small truck and have moved furniture, refrigerators, pianos, appliances, and even motorcycles. My pricing is simple - I like to have 50% non- refundable deposit at time of booking and the remainder on delivery. I can take cash, check, Venmo or Paypal - but I like PayPal. If you use PayPal or Venmo be sure to send it as a gift or as "Friend or Family" so Paypal or Venmo does not take some out. Of course I appreciate tips! I am usually not the highest or the lowest bidder but I am definitely the careful bidder! Please message me if you have any concerns. My price, DOES NOT include & is SEPARATE from the Citizen Shipper booking fee. My bid is all-inclusive and covers taxes, drive/care time, tolls, fuel, maintenance, pet supplies and food, motels, and pretty much anything else I'll need while on the road. My dates are ESTIMATES and not an exact date. By accepting my bid, you accept the terms under which an exact shipment pick up and delivery time frame will be set upon booking. Let me know if you have any questions, or want any more pictures - I have many. Let me know! P.S. I have my USDA certification and am legally certified to do transports. I generally try to stick to the west coast; California, Oregon, Washington and even Nevada or Arizona, but I am willing to go even further for you. I have a Red Cross Certification in Dog & Cat First Aid I have almost a 5-star rating and have 99% customer satisfaction! If you are flexible on your date/time we can work out a mutually beneficial price. Just let me know, I can answer your questions.

Howard is a 10! He was punctual, shared pics of my puppy and brought her to me in record time! I can’t recommend him enough!

Mandy

Howard is a very sweet man, and was great to work with. He communicated with my son in San Diego about pick up, and kept me updated about Lucky ETA in Oakland.. He was punctual and most importantly, lucky got out of the car happy, stress-free and excited after a long journey. Highly recommend Howard.

Thank you Howard for bringing my new rabbit to me. You were a big help and relieved some of my stress. I wanted to pick her up myself, but my husband fell and broke his ankle and I couldn't leave him alone for that long. You were on time and reliable, and provided a stress free transport service for us. I won't hesitate to contact you again should the need arise.

Howard was amazing! I hired him to help transport a large washer and dryer, and my 6 year old corgi - from La to the Bay Area. Howard is exceptional with both pet care and with moving large equipment/appliances ~ a rare find! From the moment he arrived, he put my mind at ease with warmly greeting my dog and taking the time to ensure that my appliances were properly loaded and secured. He sent me photos along the way through the 6-hour drive to share updates and ETA. After arriving, he even helped hook up the machines and worked to resolve connection issues! Howard is an experienced professional mover and I would highly recommend his services.

Howard was professional, attentive and very responsive. He was able to answer all our questions and concerns. Once we booked him, he was very independent and proactive with transport decisions, and brought our dog on the day we wanted her to come. He was able to coordinate all the details promptly. We highly recommend him.
