About

♡ Please Read To The End For Travel Conditions And Payment Policy ♡ DATES CANNOT BE HELD WITHOUT BOOKING - Please reach out to make sure I'm still available ABOUT ME: My name is Nichole, and I've had at least one cat and one dog my whole life. I started transporting animals occasionally for a friend who fosters dogs and owns a Maine Coon cattery, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to expand and offer my services to other people, now I spend about half my time at home and half my time on the road. I treat every animal put under my care with the same love and respect that I show to my own animals, and I'm so grateful to those of you who trust me with your pets 🩶 TRAVEL CONDITIONS: - GENERAL • All of my bids are for driving and solo transportation unless otherwise stated. • I stay at rest stops instead of hotels because I have a serious fear of getting bedbugs, but my car stays climate controlled throughout the whole night. • I offer food and water at every single stop, but most animals do not eat during these trips until we're settled down for the night. • Photos/updates will be sent every 2-3 hours. • GPS can be shared upon request - CATS • I have an XL cat carrier that streches across my back seat, it can comfortably fit 3 average size cats plus a small litter box. With 1-2 cats a food and water dish will also fit inside. ~ The added space and amenities compared to a normal carrier seem to drastically improve the comfort level for the cats and reduce anxiety. ~ If you would still prefer to use your own carriers, that's fine! ~ If you'd like to use mine but but still need yours transported, no problem! I have room to bring them with. • I will provide litter and water, but you must provide your own food. - DOGS • I have a "pet hammock" in the back seat for comfort and safety, and seatbelt attachments for dogs that are rowdy in the car. •Large dogs WILL fit comfortably in my car, there are several photos below of a 130ish pound mastiff in different positions in my car, he was able to lay comfortably in my back seat with the doors closed 😁 • I stop every 2-3 hours for us to stretch and use the bathroom. • You must provide your own food. - SMALL PETS • Please provide detailed care instructions. • This is the catagory most likely to end up combined with another family's shipment. ~ IF this happens, they will be kept completely separate from each other and never left unattended with larger animals. PAYMENT POLICY: - I accept Venmo, Paypal, or cash. - I do ask for 50% payment up front to offset travel expenses. The other 50% will be paid at drop off. - The website does charge a booking fee that I have no control over. I DO NOT WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE OR DISRESPECTFUL **

Wandering Bones did a fantastic job caring for and transporting my pup. We are moving internationally and needed someone to take our dog from the airport to my mom's house before of the hot weather and my family's arrival back to the states. Wondering bones did an excellent job picking the dog up from the cargo area of ORD letting her walk around a little and then getting her safely to her destination. Even with a couple of timing hiccups, a late flight, and traffic delays, Wondering Bones was able to navigate it all and kept me in the loop. I would trust her again and again with my girl. Thank you Wandering Bones!!

Nicole is amazing! Peeka loved her journey across the country and she clearly enjoyed Nicole’s care! It was a great experience!

Nichole was helpful and communicative right from the start of this process and put us at ease during the stress of our new puppy getting home to us. She updated us with photos and text updates every 2 hours or so during their journey. Bean was comfortable and happy with Nichole during the trip which helped him acclimate so comfortably into our home once he arrived. So grateful for Nichole’s service and her excellent care to the animal and their family. I would HIGHLY recommend Nichole to anyone looking for their pet to be transported between locations, especially for new puppy owners! Thank you Wandering Bones!

Nicole, was very understanding on vocal dogs. She constantly sent updates on her location and sent pictures on every stop she took. She let me know when my dog ate food and drank water. She also answered any questions I had quick as possible. Highly recommend on booking with her.
