My name is Russ. A chance encounter with a fellow countryman led me to a new venture—pet transportation. With extensive driving experience across America, including working as a long-haul truck driver, I approach every journey with responsibility and professionalism. I genuinely love animals and quickly establish a connection with them. Your pet will feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip, and we will become true friends. After each transport, I thoroughly clean and disinfect the vehicle interior to ensure a fresh and cozy environment for the next passenger. In addition to pet transportation, I also offer a car delivery service from point A to point B, with or without your pet. Along the way, I take photos at every stop so you can stay updated on the journey. I would be happy to assist you and take care of your pet! Please contact me via email before booking to discuss the details. Thank you for your trust!

When your pet travels, nothing matters more than safety, calm, and certainty. I provide in-cabin pet transportation on commercial airlines, offering families a safer and far less stressful alternative to long, unpredictable ground transport. Your pet travels inside the aircraft cabin with me, never in cargo, never exposed to extreme temperatures, and never passed between multiple handlers. This allows pets to arrive secure, calm, and emotionally settled. With over 10 years of experience accompanying pets on national and international flights, I have supported families through relocations, breeder transfers, and show travel. I understand that entrusting someone with your pet is an emotional decision, and I approach every journey with patience, care, and full responsibility. For your peace of mind, I am fully insured and USDA registered. I travel only on confirmed commercial flights — never standby. You will receive the exact flight number, date, and time in advance, so you can track the flight online and always know where your pet is. In most cases, pets arrive the same day or early the next morning, avoiding the prolonged stress of multi-day ground transport. Pets are picked up and delivered at major airports closest to your location, ensuring smooth transitions with minimal handling. If special arrangements are required, I am happy to discuss options and accommodate whenever possible (additional fees may apply). Booking & Payment Details All terms are shared clearly and in advance to ensure a smooth, transparent experience. • Quotes are valid for 12 hours; pricing may change afterward due to airline fare adjustments • CitizenShipper booking fees are not included in my quotes • Please do not book until travel dates are confirmed and you receive my “OK to book” message • 60% of the total cost is due within 2 hours of booking and is non-refundable • The remaining balance is due when I arrive to pick up your pet • Accepted payment methods: Zelle, PayPal, CashApp, Venmo, Cash Pet parents are responsible for ensuring their pet fits comfortably in a 20” × 12” × 12” carrier. My role is not simply to transport your pet — it is to give you peace of mind, knowing your companion is cared for attentively, safely, and respectfully from departure to arrival. If you have questions or concerns, I welcome the conversation and will gladly guide you through the process so you can feel confident every step of the way.

Drove over the road commercially for 17 years for several trucking companies out of northeast Ohio. Ran sales and marketing company for 20 years, contracted by the Youngstown Vindicator for the last 15 until they closed. Currently driving for UBER, Lyft, Doordash, and transporting pets. US Army Veteran. Proud father of 2 adult boys and 3 fur babies. I provide LUXURY VIP service. I don't transport numerous pets at 1 time. I don't make multiple pick ups or drop offs along the way, and i don't show up at your house in the middle of the night. I'm an owner/ operator. You book with me, i pick up your pet, and i deliver it. I don't pass it off to someone you've never talked to. I prefer to only work with 1 customer at a time so I can give your fur baby the same kind of 1 on 1 care that you would give to them. I am flexible and easy to work with. All bids are open to negotiation.

Hello, We are a small family owned business that understands the unconditional love and pertinence that all fur babies need to keep their trip as safe and comfortable as possible. We run coast to coast and are centrally located south of the Kansas City area when we are not on the road. We specialize in puppies and older dogs. We believe in lots of love and frequent potty stops, for everyone. Please feel free to ask us questions, we will respond quickly. Happy trails and happy tails. ** Please ask for a confirmation before accepting a bid for the dates discussed, we do place bids in advance and try and put our routes together as well as possible** ** Please realize that if you book with us our times are only estimates! We cannot control the traffic, wrecks, weather, and the time it takes to clean the kennels or walk the dogs thats of age so they may change 1-4 hours later than the estimated times. If the puppies poop or throw up we try to stop at the next best location to clean the puppies pen. ** **Citizenshipper fee is not apart of our bid, these are separate** ** If we have to wait for the breeder over 30 minutes there will be a $100 fee to that breeder per hour we wait. The same goes to the customer. If we have to wait on a customer over 30 minutes $100 fee will be charged to that customer for our wait. This is our lively hood and we do not get paid by the hour sitting there waiting. We get paid by the completed job. So please be respectful. **

​Hello! 👋 I’m Barry. Nice to meet you! 😊 Based out of Upstate SC/Charlotte, NC since November 2020, I have specialized in providing elite, private transportation for pet owners who refuse to compromise on safety and comfort. ​Think of my service not as a ride, but as a private limousine experience for your pet. Unlike volume-based transporters, I focus on individual attention, customized care, and absolute security. See my reviews and you can see why elite clients choose me: ​💥Unmatched Experience: I have driven over 485,000 safe miles for CitizenShipper, reputable breeders, and private clients since 2020. ​💥Total Comfort: Whether you have a delicate puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet requiring special handling, I provide a stress-free environment. ​💥Peace of Mind: You (and your pet) will feel secure during every phase of the journey. I am the exclusive driver for top-tier breeders who describe my service as "simply the best." 💥 I survived 13 Black Friday Sales as a Wally World manager. I understand business and customer service, inside and out. I can handle whatever gets thrown at me. ​ 💵 Payment & 📆 Booking Protocol: ​My bid is all-inclusive for a dedicated, door-to-door VIP experience. 💵 ​Payment Methods: I accept Venmo, CashApp, and Cash. (Please note: I do not utilize PayPal). ​ 📆 Booking Policy: A 50% reservation fee is required to secure your dates on my calendar. This ensures I can decline other work and dedicate that time exclusively to your pet. ​ CitizenShipper Fee: As per platform rules, the booking fee paid to the site is separate from my transport bid. This fee is for the use of this platform to introduce us to one another and also provides you with emergency vet care and other benefits. ​ My schedule is limited and fills quickly due to repeat clients. 👉 ​Please click "Book Me" to secure your dates. I look forward to providing your pet with the safe, pampered journey they deserve. ​ Kind regards, Barry
