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 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.

Hello there! My name is Amanda and I am the owner of PurplePup LLC, based in Dallas, Tx. I understand that trusting someone to travel with your furry family members can be a daunting task, which is why I strive to make it a hassle-free and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. *** In order to provide you with Happy, Healthy, and Safe transportation I will require the following (it is the law): - your pet must be at least 8 weeks old - a health certificate from a vet within the last ten days -a 75% deposit is required to reserve your pickup date. We accept all major credit cards and Zelle. Payment plans are available for transports scheduled at least two weeks in advance. **FLIGHT NANNY** (Most popular!) Your pet will travel with me as a carryon! Same-day airport pickup and delivery. Door-to-door service may be arranged if needed. I fly confirmed flights, not standby. (Which means this is my full time job; I am not a flight attendant traveling with your puppy for extra cash). In some cases I can accompany larger dogs via private charter service or as accompanied baggage. We would love to tell you more. **GROUND** With ground service your pet will have a comfortable trip in my air conditioned minivan and have my personal care and attention. We stop about every four hours for water breaks and stretching and you will get photo updates throughout your trip. GPS tracking is available on request. I can accommodate dogs with raw food diets or medications. We prefer to travel with just two or three pets at a time. New pups will never touch the ground outside. **Private VIP rides** A great choice for larger dogs that prefer one-on-one attention or new puppies that need extra care. Need an express delivery? I also offer special rates for families with multiple pets. Need to move a vehicle as well? Sometimes we can drive your car and your pets together to save you on shipping costs. Private rides give you the flexibility to custom fit the experience to the needs of your pet. Can’t wait to meet your family!

Gail is kind, reliable, trustworthy, dedicated, and a person of integrity. While staying with my dog, Gail not only does the basic, necessary responsibilities such as feeding, watering, and walking my dog, she also spends time playing with her, taking her on extra walks, and giving her lots of petting sessions and lap time! One can easily see that Gail has compassion and love for animals. I have total trust that my pet is being well cared for while I am away. I must say, too, that my pets have all loved her! They have always been excited to see her when she arrives to stay with them. Helen Parks Gail has watched our cat and dog on multiple occasions. She has done a fantastic job of managing their care while we are out of town. Our cat requires medicine, and she has no problem giving it to him every day. Our pets are very happy in her care.

Hello, I'm Kerry and I'd love to care for your buddy. I have traveled over 300,000 miles with my own pets. I have 3 years’ experience as an ambulance driver in a major metropolitan area. I have also been 5-star Lyft driver for the past 7 yrs. Axle is my own dog and he will be accompanying your buddy on their trip. He loves all animals, including cats and even ones that he has no idea what they are, except for ducks!! I will provide frequent stops for restroom breaks, Stretch and play. All vaccines including kennel cough need to be up to date with proper documentation. I will provide frequent trip updates and pics if desired. I prefer the same food they have been eating for the trip to avoid any upset stomachs during the trip. Payment for transport is 1/2 due at booking, the remaining 1/2 due at pickup. I bill via Square which accepts all forms of credit, and debit. Venmo and cash payments can also be accepted. For shipments canceled within 72 hours of pickup, there is a small cancellation fee owed to the driver - by this time the driver might be on the road, having already invested time and resources. The fees are as follows: Canceled 48-72 hours before pickup: $50 cancellation fee owed to the driver Canceled 24-48 hours before pickup: $100 cancellation fee owed to the driver Canceled 0-24 hours before pickup: $100 -OR- 50% of the originally agreed fee owed to the driver, whichever is the greater of the two. Cancellation fees can typically be paid via debit card, credit card, or other methods, as previously agreed with the driver.

But remember there is no better couple to transport your paws than a couple of paws. **Frequently asked questions** Q.) Are there any hidden or extra charges? A.) The only charge other than our bid is a fee citizenshipper charges for the use of their site, the citizenshipper fee is NOT included in our bid. Q.) How many pets do you transport at a time? A.) We average at 4-5 at a time, however the exact amount just depends on the sizes of each pet. Q.) Do you require crates? A.) We do not require crates for non aggressive dogs. If your dog is not friendly with other animals they would have to ride in a crate. If you prefer your pet rides in a crate let us know so we can have one available. *We do a max of 2 free roamers at a time except when picking up more than 2 from the same household and free roaming is on a first booked first choice basis* Q.) Do you recommend we get something from the vet for anxiety? A.) Yes, some dogs do absolutely wonderful the entire time and do not need anything for anxiety, some dogs are super anxious and would definitely benefit having something for anxiety. It would be better to send something for anxiety and not need it than not send it and your dog is one who would benefit from having it. Q.) What kind of vehicle do you use? A.) We typically use rental minivans Q.) How does this all work? A.) After completing the booking we get the addresses and phone numbers for pickup and drop off. We send you a picture upon pickup and 2-3 pupdates a day. We try our best to do it around breakfast, lunch, and dinner however we cannot guarantee the exact times. We stop every 4-5 hours for bathroom, walking, and water (Pets are not let out during any extreme weather conditions) Pets will be fed based on the schedule given to us by the breeder/owner. Q.) Is your quote discounted already? A ) If the description mentions that you're military, senior citizen or first responder the bid will include the discount. The quote without our 10% discount is what will be charged in the event proof cannot be provided if asked. You must book at least 1 week out to qualify for the discount. *Pets going to or coming from the North West (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana) between November-March are not eligible for the discount* Q.) How do you transport cats? A.) We feed based off of the schedule provided to us by the owner, water bowl is attached to the door of the crate and is filled halfway at each stop, a litter box is placed at the back of the crate and is cleaned 2x a day. When picking up from the same household we do 1 cat in a medium crate, 2-3 cats in a large (36 inch) crate. Q.) Can I provide my own crate? A.) If you have a PLASTIC crate you can provide it we just need to be informed beforehand. We cannot transport pets in metal crates due to USDA regulations. Q.) Do you offer flight nanny services? A.) Yes, we have flight nannies if you specify in your description that you prefer a flight nanny we will give you a quote for airport to airport travel; if you want/need a pickup or drop off from a location other than the airport make sure to let us know for an updated bid. Q.) How long will this take? A.) Unless there are extreme weather delays all trips are under 5 calendar days, the average is 2-4 calendar days. Q.) Is this door to door service? A.) Our ground transportation is door to door service except for locations on a military base, if on a military base we can meet right outside of the base or a location nearby. Q.) How long are dates good for? A.) Dates are only good for up to 24 hours, after that you would need to reconfirm prior to booking due to potential changes or spots no longer being available. Q.) Do you have issues with communication? A.) It really depends on who you ask, the people who you are communicating with are the transporters that have your pet. We do not stop at hotels at night to provide faster transportation and by doing that our drivers sleep in shifts. So sometimes it takes longer to receive a response, if one driver is sleeping and the other is driving you will not receive a response until we arrive at a gas station and are able to safely respond to your message. Q.) Do you transport agressive pets? A.) Yes, if they're aggressive towards people they are to remain in the crate for the entire duration of the trip. Food and water is given through the crate and pictures are taken from the outside of the crate. If they're good with people just not other animals then while the car is in motion they are in the crate but they're let out at stops and just kept away from the other pets. Q.) Can my pet have a blanket/toy with them? A.) You can if you'd like to, however if you decide you want it with them you are accepting that we cannot guarantee the condition of how it arrives. We transport multiple pets so the item may get damaged from play, pee, poop, and/or vomit. Q.) When will you be able to give me a timeframe for pickup/drop off? A.) The day before pickup/delivery is when we'll have our most accurate timeframe (2 hour window) but it is not guaranteed if there are circumstances beyond our control. We can give you a rough estimated time before that based on what our previous trips would typically be but our most accurate time frame will be given the day before Q.) Do you drive in the snow? A.) Yes we do, we try to avoid it when reasonably possible however since we do trips year round it's sometimes unavoidable. We ask for patience and understanding with delays or slight changes in the schedule as safety is our #1 priority and we will not drive in a way that causes further risk to our safety or the safety of the pets who we are entrusted with. I keep a very close eye on the weather forecast throughout the entire trip and may have to adjust the specific route we take based on road closures and the severity of the weather conditions. If it is too bad or have to stop because of road closures we will get a pet friendly hotel room where we will stay with your pet until we are able to continue and keep you updated as normal. Q.)What information is needed from me? A.) We need a copy of the shot records, any pickup/delivery addresses and phone numbers, any and all medical conditions (failure to disclose releases a couple of paws from all liability) Q.) Do you offer GPS tracking? A.) This varies by trip, we have worked with several high profile clients and require a signed NDA. When we are in situations like that we are unable to provide tracking. The trips where we're allowed to share GPS we share it via Google maps. Q.) Do you smoke? A.) I used to, I finally quit (yay) in November 2021. *By booking with us you are agreeing to all of our policies and procedures as listed in our about me section*

I mostly use minivans to transport ‼️ Need your car transported as well?? I can also transport your animals in your own vehicle. And you can load up your vehicle with whatever you like. Ask for details. Pet and Auto Insurance Red Cross Dog and Cat First Aid Certification Animal Behavior College Pet CPR, CPCR, and First Aid University of Texas Animal Behavior College in California Newburgh Theology Seminary & Bible College Hello. I am Christian Meyer. I work with a rescue in Texas with my family. I started this venture doing rescue work and it quickly turned into cross country transporting. I got my start here on Citizenshipper in April of 2020. As of this year I have over 400 transports with CS and over 1500 transports all together from repeat clients and referrals. I rent sedans and small SUVs to transport in and occasionally my Chevy Silverado pickup with King Cab. So I do not carry a lot of animals at once, usually one to three. I have built my reputation for my communication and my care and attention for my animals that I transport. I take their stress very seriously and try to bond and comfort them on their cross country journey. From the moment you are reading this right now all the way to delivery our communication and availability "is second to none" "systematic and thorough". From pick up we will contact you every 2 to 3 hours with GPS location markers, photos, and updates on how your pet is doing. Preparations before transport we contact you a week before pick up and the day before pick up and are available anytime for last minute changes, concerns, or questions. We are heavily experienced in 8 to 10 week old puppies all the way up to elderly dogs that require assistance, medication, and special care. We work to establish a bond with each animal that we transport and try to connect with them to let them know that we are there for them. Though there are many aspects as far as navigation, car maintenance, scheduling and whatnot, caring for your pet is our first priority. I am certified in Red Cross animal first aid as well as CPR and CCPR certifications. Please see my reviews and photos to get a good idea of how we can see if we are a good fit for you. CANCELLATIONS: All deposits are non-refundable. However if for some reason we would have to cancel on you, you would receive 100% of your deposit back.
