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.

***Please be sure to contact us before accepting the bid to make sure the dates are still good*** ***Citizen Shipper does have their own fee to use their site. That fee is not included in our quote and unrelated to our quote.*** We are a small family run company. I (Brandi) have dispatched in the transport industry while my husband, (Buzz) drove semi. We are breeders as well and have a passion for animals in general. We are excellent with all pets. Brandi has also trained horses specializing in the misunderstood horses when owners were at a loss as to how to regain that bond and trust. We are not new to transporting by any means, we started this journey by transporting our own litters in 2019. It is truly the best reward to see families reunited or that new puppy addition to your family and the happy, smiling faces! We transport multiple pets at one time but can provide private transport. When shipping multiple pets they’re kept separated at all times. We have worked with many breeders and rescues. Your pets are kept clean throughout their ride with us. They are taken out for walks/potty breaks often. During our stops, we will provide pictures and updates on all of your pets adventure as we travel closer to you. Lots of love is a must with us as well, guaranteed to be reunited/united with you spoiled and happy 😊. It is important to us that your baby feel safe and comfortable. We know that transport can be stressful for not only your pet, but you and your family. Our priority is to limit that stress by getting to know you and your baby. We take our time, especially, with those that are highly stressed or have anxiety and will provide extra breaks when needed. We understand that extra time and patience is needed for those that have been through difficulties in their lives before having their forever family to love them. We also provide a link to Life360 for live GPS so you can follow along on your pets journey! We like to feed on your schedule, this limits any potential for upset bellies. We follow a strict no paws on the ground for puppies under 16 weeks of age, as breeders ourselves, we understand the importance of keeping puppies away from any and all possibilities of illness. We truly enjoy treating your baby like one of our own during their time with us. Our prices vary, but we only transport 4-5 pets at a time. This allows your pet to get the individualized time and attention along their journey. Please feel free to ask any questions you have before booking. We look forward to meeting with you and your pet and reuniting/uniting your family together!

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.

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.
