About

PLEASE DON'T ACCEPT OUR BID UNTIL YOU SPEAK WITH US.**** Hi my name is Richard and I will be the transporter for your pets. I am USDA and Insured, with this in mind please understand each pet will need to ride in a carrier or a seatbelt harness, they will need a puppy health certificate (8-16 wks old) and utd shot records, if 16weeks and older. All dogs over 16week old will have potty and play time every 2-3 hrs. My wife does the scheduling and sends updates to you so I dont have to bother with the phone while on the road, I update her at gas stops and send her pictures to send to you. She also takes care of speaking with you on here. I drive a 2019 chevy express and only travel with 5-6 pets at a time depending on size, we do offer private rides, but please keep in mind that cost more then a shared ride. All pets have their one on one time out to play and use the bathroom, no two pets unless from the same family go out together. Puppies 8-16wks old will never be out on the ground and will have their puppy pads and carrier cleaned as soon and they mess it. We have pets and have had them all our lives, so you can rest assured when your pets are with me they will be treated like my own and will be spoiled.

Could not be more pleased! Richard and his wife kept me up to date on everything including pics of my little man during his journey. You can tell they both care deeply about pets and my little Francis was delivered in excellent spirits and health. Not even stressed! I think Richard taking him on long walks at rest breaks was such a comfort. I was so nervous about having Francis shipped literally across the country but am so glad I chose RIchard and his team.

I can’t speak highly enough of Richard and his wife, Linda they are truly exceptional individuals. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Communication was clear and consistent, and they immediately made me feel confident in choosing them to transport my dogs from Miami to Texas. Richard is not only kind and compassionate, but he’s also a true expert when it comes to animals. It’s clear that he genuinely loves what he does. Long-distance pet transportation is no easy task, and it requires a great deal of patience, care, and experience all of which Richard demonstrated throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Richard’s Pet Rides. He took excellent care of both my Labrador and French Bulldog, and even shared valuable advice to help maintain their health and well-being. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets, and I truly believe that choosing Richard is the best decision you can make for yourself and your beloved animals.

Excellent professional service. This is the first time we have ever used a pet transport service and we were quite nervous handing over Winston our golden retriever for a cross country trip. Richard took excellent care of Winston and delivered him on time. He also kept us up to date the entire trip. I would highly recommend.

Richard was fantastic, friendly, loves and cares deeply about our pets Normally Winston gets very excited to see me , and he was but I could tell he bonded with Richard . Richard picked him up in Ohio and 26 hours later he was at my front door. I highly recommend Richard and his service I would definitely use him again !!!

Richard is a road warrior. He trudged from Iowa to Vancouver Washington through some very tough winter weather. He took great care of Sloane. You could tell he really cared about her well being. Richards’s wife kept us apprised of their progress several times per day with photos. You could tell from the photos she was being well cared for. It was relieving to know she was doing well on the trip. I would work with them again if the need arose, and would wholeheartedly recommend him.

Richard provides a CNN much needed service for transporting our pets and delivers them safely with care and on time. From the moment we signed in the communication and updates on the trip is beyond words. We will use Richard again and refer friends and family as well. He is that good!
