Hey there! I'm Donna Willis (Owner). We are howlingly happy to introduce BridgingtheMiles4U. Based in Houston, TX, we're always on the move, traveling coast to coast about every two weeks, traveling 25-30 days a month. Home is on the road for Jeff, our driver, while I run all the business operations - so he can focus on the road and the pet passengers.
You may wonder, "How come your transport number is not as high as other transporters on this site?" GREAT question! This is because 95% of our customers come to us directly, rather than through a pay site.
We have completed over 4,500 transports and have received over 2,000 5-star reviews across our online presence. Once a customer experiences our services, business professionalism, and care, we become the transport they can trust.
With nearly 7 years of experience in the private sector transporting for breeders, trainers, socialites, celebrities, military personnel, rescues, shelters, adopted pets, and police K9s, we're excited to bring our reliable and trustworthy services to CitizenShipper. We're passionate animal lovers, and it's our mission to provide top-notch care and service.
As a family-run business, we take pride in upholding the highest standards and adhering to USDA Rules and Regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of your pets.
We don't aim to be the cheapest option because we believe in the actual cost of providing exceptional service and care. We are on CitizenShipper to gain a lifetime customer, giving you the opportunity to experience quality service the first time and every time you book us directly after.
When you choose us, rest assured that we've considered every detail to ensure the comfort and safety of your pets throughout the journey. Our vehicles are well-maintained. We have policies, procedures, and contingency plans for all situations. Our drivers are skilled at navigating roads and weather, optimizing our routes.
We provide plenty of walks, potty breaks, and clean cages throughout the day/night. If our driver is in an area with a pet-friendly hotel, all pets stay in the hotel room with the driver. The drivers sleep with the pet passengers if they sleep at a rest stop or Travel Center. We've invested in a Cargo Van to ensure the comfort and safety of our pet passengers, providing each pet with ample space.
At Bridging the Miles 4U, we aim to offer fair and reliable service that you can trust. Please send us a message to experience the difference.
