Shipment from Rochester, NY to Tampa, FL
I had a disappointing experience with this service from beginning to end. I specifically chose private transport for my two senior cats to minimize stress during a move from New York to Florida. I had previously used another pet transportation provider for my move from Florida to New York and had an excellent experience, but unfortunately they were unavailable during my needed timeframe. I chose Haund Haulers over other options because they requested documentation that other companies did not, which gave the impression of being thorough and professional. Unfortunately, my experience after booking did not reflect that expectation. There were repeated issues throughout the transport process that caused significant delays and required my cats to be boarded along the way, extending the trip far beyond what was originally expected. While I completed the drive myself in two days, it ultimately took seven days for my cats to arrive. Communication was also frustrating, as I was repeatedly given delivery estimates and assurances that were not met, only for timelines to continue being pushed back. To make matters more difficult, pickup was delayed by an entire day, which created additional challenges during an already stressful move. The company did acknowledge problems occurred and offered a partial refund for the inconvenience. However, despite receiving confirmation by email that a refund had been issued, I have not received it and it has been some time since it was issued. I understand that unexpected issues can happen in transportation, but reliability, communication, and follow-through are especially important when caring for people's pets. Based on my experience, I would encourage others to do careful research before trusting this company with their animals. I personally would never trust them again with my animals or my money.

Shipment from Castle Rock, WA to Sumas, WA
Very friendly and good with dogs. However arrived more than half an hour late for pickup and then took an unscheduled one hour plus stop at a restaurant. We had to wait at the agreed upon meetup for more than two hours.
Shipment from Portsmouth, RI to San Antonio, FL
Initial pick up was great. After it turned into a bad experience. Had sleepless nights of worry. The initial picture of my cats appeared to be in poor condition. It was necessary to seek assistance from main company representative for assistance. Reached point it was necessary to request for my cats to be drop at nearest animal shelter and would seek alternative transportation; they did not comply. In end told their vehicle had issues caused delays. Cats were delivered on 6th day of a two-day expected delivery.
Shipment from Lynn Haven, FL to Anchorage, AK
Not only was Freshstart knowledgable, but they communicated with us the entire day of travel and shared fun pictures along the way. I highly recommend.
