      Recent Review

      Kerry is absolutely amazing. I 100% recommend for military moves and travel. By far the best priced service to ship home my 2 Olde English Bulldogges. Not only is Kerry reasonably priced but her professionalism and commitment to give us a no stress trip helped so much. She was coaching us through a crowded airport with 2 puppies and at no point did we feel worried or stressed with how supportive and detailed she was with her instruction. 5 stars all day.

      "He delivered my cat Willow with such care and very fast from Colorado to Indiana. I’m in the army and currently PCSin and my cat being older I didn’t wanna fly with her. I highly recommend him!"

      MILITARY PCS

      "My dog got denied his flight because the destination temp rose 1 degree over the 80 degree limit the morning of our flight. Luckily citizenshipper was easy and fast. I was able to arrange someone to drive my dog from VA to AL while my Family was traveling from VA to HI almost effortlessly. So great full for this program and the people working it, it kept the 5th member of our family out of a kennel and instead with Family until the temps are safe for his travel here in HI."

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Do Pets Need to Be Quarantined After Transport for PCS?

      +

      It depends on where you are traveling to. Currently, military pet relocation for PCS doesn’t require you to quarantine your pet if you are traveling within the United States. However, there are countries abroad that may require you to quarantine your pet. It’s best to check with your destination country about the requirements for military pet shipping services.

      Is There a Limit on the Number of Pets Military Families Can Own?

      +

      There is no limit on the number of pets military families can own. There is a limit on how much the Department of Defense will reimburse you. You can get up to $500 back for one pet within the continental United States and $2,000 back for one pet everywhere else in the world.

      If you are traveling to or from certain high-risk countries, the Defense Department has authorized reimbursement of up to $4,000. This policy is in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implementing a regulation that requires a higher screening level for dogs returning to the United States from countries that pose a high risk of rabies.

      What Other Resources Are Available for Military Members Given PCS Orders?

      +

      In 2012, the Defense Personal Property System (DPS) was introduced. This is your one-stop-shop for everything related to your move. You’ll make an account on the system and use it to receive information from customer service representatives, schedule the move and keep track of any shipments.

      Automated Housing Referral Network is an organization that works with military members that have PCS orders. You’ll be able to find more resources that go in-depth about how to prepare for and what to expect from a PCS move.
