Welcome! ⭐ 100% Five-Star Reviews The words I hear most often from my customers are communication, transparency, trust, and treating every pet like family. Owners appreciate the regular photo updates, live GPS tracking, and knowing their pets are receiving one-on-one care throughout the journey. Some have even joked that their dogs didn’t want to leave when we arrived—which is probably the best compliment I could ask for! 👋 Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover and road-trip enthusiast who would be honored to transport your furry family members safely and comfortably. To me, pets are family—not cargo. They ride where people ride: inside the vehicle with climate control, comfort, treats and plenty of personal attention. You’ll never have to wonder where your pet is or how they’re doing. I believe communication is just as important as safe transportation, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and live GPS location sharing throughout the journey. I specialize in VIP, private pet transport—not bulk hauling. I am not a broker, and I rarely transport pets from different families together unless prearranged. Most of my trips are solo, door-to-door journeys or multiple pets from the same family. If another family’s pet is ever scheduled to travel at the same time, you’ll know before booking. Complete transparency is important to me. My goal is simple: provide the kind of journey I would want for my own dogs. That means regular potty breaks, walks, fresh water, comfortable seating, plenty of affection, and a calm, low-stress environment from pickup to delivery. You’ll never find me cramming eight or ten barking puppies into stacked crates. Every pet deserves individual care, patience, and respect. Like many of my clients, I’m a pet parent myself. My two adventure buddies are Murphy, a Goldendoodle (he’s in my profile picture), and his half-brother Charlie, a Standard Poodle. They’ve taught me just how much trust goes into handing someone the keys to your pet’s safety, and I care for every animal I transport the same way I’d want someone caring for my own. I’ve logged hundreds of thousands of miles through 47 U.S. states and more than 28 countries, so long-distance travel is second nature. Whether your pet is traveling 100 miles or 2,000, they’ll be in experienced, dependable hands. For additional peace of mind, I’ve completed the American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid course. When I’m not transporting pets, I’ve spent my career in the automotive performance industry designing high-performance engine components and hosting the High Performance Cult (HP Cult) podcast. Attention to detail, planning, reliability, and professionalism have always been at the core of my career, and I bring those same qualities to every transport. If my quote is close to your budget, don’t hesitate to reach out. Every family’s situation is different, and if I can make the numbers work by combining routes without compromising your pet’s VIP experience, I’m always happy to have that conversation. Thank you for considering me with one of your most important family members. I’d be honored to earn your trust and provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journey. ⸻ Payment Pet Transport * 25% deposit when booked * 25% due at pickup * Remaining 50% due at delivery Cargo, RVs, Boats & Other Transport * 25% minimum deposit when booked * Remaining balance due at delivery Accepted Payments Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, and cash.

Hello, My name is BriAnna and I am here to help you get your four legged friends home. Just a few things about me I solely own and operate Four Paws TLC so you don’t have to worry about communication with anyone other than myself for drop off and pickups. I am very easy to work with and will do my best to accommodate any needs or wants you may have for you or your furry friend. I know this can be a stressful situation not just for you but also for your pets. As a way to help ease that I do like to offer life 360 for live tracking as well as updated pictures and videos. Also I am a small business so I don’t overhaul with multiple animals therefore yours will be well attended to and spoiled. When it comes to our four legged friends It’s important to have quality care over quantity for profit. I have 2 years prior experience with transporting. I did take a break for a while to be home with my family but I’m really eager and happy to get back into something I love and enjoy very much. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Citizens BOOKING FEES are separate from my transport fees. In my pictures I have included the BOOKING FEES that Citizens charges. One is for non dogs (lower$) and the other is dogs only (higher$) For 17 years I have been delivering for my wife's breeding businesses of rabbits and dogs: Shauna's Hollands, Smoky Mountain Spaniels, and Shauna's Newfs. Now, I have decided to start helping other breeders by offering a cheaper transport alternative by choosing shipments that are along my current routes for my wife's business. I am located close to Fall Creek Falls state park in Tennessee. This means that I am centrally located to 13 states and can be to any of them in a few hours. I currently use rental vehicles since I travel long distances. The rentals have lower millage and therefore less chances of breaking down.

Discuss medication with your veterinarian before the trip; never give medication without appropriate veterinary guidance. 🚶 How often do you stop? Comfort and potty breaks are generally scheduled every 2–3 hours, adjusted to the individual pet and conditions. 🚙 How long does transportation take? Many trips take approximately 1–4 days, with longer trips potentially requiring up to 5 days or more. Distance, weather, road conditions, and rest requirements affect the schedule. ❄️ Do you transport year-round? I consider trips throughout the year, but weather and road safety determine whether a route can proceed as planned.

I am a 39yr old, drug free, non-smoker and have been undertaking cross country drives for 24 years; beginning with family trips while I still just had my learner's permit. I have driven/ridden every type and size of vehicle from dirt bikes/motorcycles to 26' box trucks. I have had jobs which required the transport and delivery of large electronics (TVs, appliances, etc), furniture, party equipment (moon bounces, obstacle courses, dunk tanks, rock walls, etc), small scale electronics (computers, networking equipment, etc), and have towed a wide variety of trailers including jet ski, boat, open car carrier/utility, motorcycle, box, dunk tank, and artificial rock wall. I grew up in a military family and have always owned a truck so moving, and helping others move, is a very familiar experience for me. (My record for personal moves is 6 times in 2 years.) I have also been around pets and a pet owner almost my whole life. We mostly had dogs (Golden Retriever, Husky, and Shiba Inu), but I also have experience with cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets, and other small mammals.

Hi! I’m Darby 🤍✈️ I'd love to help safely transport your fur baby! I provide safe, dependable in-cabin air transport for your fur baby, ensuring they are personally cared for every step of the journey — never treated like cargo. Flying allows your puppy to arrive much faster and with far less stress than multi-day ground transport, and I focus on keeping the experience calm, comfortable, and secure from start to finish. If your puppy is under 16 lbs and fits comfortably in an airline-approved carrier, I would love to help with safe delivery. What you can expect when choosing me: • One-on-one care — I never transport multiple animals at once • Thoughtfully planned flights (nonstop whenever possible) • Photo and video updates throughout the journey • Clear, consistent communication so you always know how your baby is doing • Calm, gentle handling — I treat every pet like my own For comfort, I recommend sending a small blanket, toy, or familiar item to help your pet feel at ease during travel. Pickup & Delivery: Owners or breeders typically meet me at the airport unless other arrangements are made in advance. Booking: A 50% deposit via Zelle or Venmo is required at booking, with the remaining balance due upon safe delivery. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and care are always my top priority 🤍 I know how important this is, and I’ll treat your pet like family every step of the way. — Darby ****🚗 If your pet is too large to fly, private ground transport is available. Your pet will always be my only transport client during the journey — no shared rides, just dedicated one-on-one care from pickup to delivery.
