      Amazing communication!

      Marianne

      This was my First time doing something like this. I just didn't know What to expect. K9 Rides are "Top Notch". Karla was absolutely Awesome from minute ONE. She kept me reassured with every move. She texted and sent photos of my little Bundle of Love. Should I ever need to hire a Transporter in the future, "K9 Rides" seals the Deal. Sending countless Hugzzz to "Karla" and her Husband. 🙏✝️~~~ 😘💋

      My dog arrived in great shape after a 3 day journey from Texas to RI. Karla and her husband were punctual and sent timely updates. They will be handling the return trip as well. I will definitely use their service again.

      Angela

      Bella

      They were great with my pitbull! She is very large but they made sure she was comfortable and always sent updates. Would recommend!

      Katya

      K9 Rides were awesome! They got my foster dog across the country to her forever home. They gave updates along the way and she made it safe and sound. I'm so glad we trusted them with her and I cannot be more grateful to them for keeping us informed along the way. I was also nervous because my foster is a belgian malinois and loves to jump out of the car but that did not phase them at all. Can't recommend more!
