45 lbs Bernedoodle from Houston, TX to Paeonian Springs, VA (1390 mi)
Matt was absolutely fantastic transporting our dog from Houston to Leesburg, VA. From start to finish, he was incredibly kind, professional, and responsive. He kept us consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind during a long drive. It was clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he transports and treats them like his own. Our dog arrived safe, happy, and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and would trust him again without hesitation.
100 lbs Golden Retriever from Shelton, WA to Magnolia, TX (2348 mi)
Esmeralda was wonderful!! Picked up our Golden Retriever from Washington state and delivered him to us in Texas. Communication was excellent. He was very well taken care of. Thank you so much to Emerald’s Fur Baby Transport.
31 lbs German Shepherd Dog from Lexington, VA to Mount Vernon, WA (2765 mi)
TLDR: DO NOT book with this company. Horrible timeline communication (made another stop 3 states out of the way), threatened seizing communication, teaches bad puppy manners, and terrible payment requirements. I wish I paid more for another company. If I could give zero stars, I would. I always fill out surveys and almost always give 5 stars for everything so it takes a LOT to not get 5 stars from me. I have NEVER given a 1 star review until now. They will not deliver within their estimated timeframe and don't communicate changes in the estimated delivery range until you ask even when it's supposed to be the next day. They scheduled another pickup over 3 states away leading to a huge delay in getting my 13 week old puppy. A trip that should only have taken 7 days max if only driving 6 hours per day took them 11 days. They also didn't communicate the delay until I asked if they were still planning to drop her off within the original estimate. They quoted weather but when further questioned, revealed it was due to a pickup in Texas. They should have communicated as soon as they decided to book that pick up that there would be a large delay. Better yet, they shouldn't add a pickup that's 3 states away when you're transporting a 13 week old puppy. They also will threaten to seize communications until 2 hours before delivery if you question their delays. In this case, Google showed a road was closed. However, the DOT live website showed that exact road closure had exits open to use as the road while it's closed. So because they don't want to use the most accurate route information, they get further delayed. They either purposely say the dog will arrive sooner than they expect to try to make owners happy when they know they can't possibly make that timeframe. Or they aren't looking up trip timelines using Google maps and are winging their estimates. They had a delivery estimate of Thursday - Friday. I asked on Tuesday what day it was looking like and they couldn't say but end of week still looked good. I learned Wednesday that they weren't even half-way due to the Texas pickup that day (as if they didn't know that when I asked the day prior?). They then said Sunday or Monday. I then have to ask Saturday if it's looking like Sunday and learn it should be Monday. Sunday they say Monday evening (I had to ask again). Monday they say it will be Tuesday morning. And then later say Tuesday early afternoon. Tuesday comes around and I have to ask after 3pm to get an update on ETA and they say 7:30pm. They don't arrive until 8pm. I would have been less frustrated if they were upfront about their timelines in the first place. However, they likely lie so people don't book someone else who can actually deliver on time. They send videos morning and night which is a plus but I noticed she was letting my puppy bite her hand. I know she was teething but I don't appreciate teaching my dog to chew on people. I'm hoping she didn't learn other bad habits. Finally, they only accept Zelle, Google pay, or Cash App for payment which is pretty sketchy. I chose Zelle but it has limits of $500/day and I had to call my bank every day to say it wasn't fraud because the payments needed to go through in time for the pickup date. The ONLY good things were morning and evening video updates and she bought my puppy a nylon bone to help with teething.

RVs from Princeton, TX to Sorrento, FL (1111 mi)
Highly recommend Chad. He remained communicative, on time & friendly. He was able to tow my 27ft travel trailer(6000lb) from TX to FL safely. Thank you very much Chad!

Our driver was absolutely the best. He took great care of our dog. Kept us informed on his progress. Our dog became very attached to him. It was all good.
8 lbs moyen poodle puppy from Pocatello, ID to Medford, OR (703 mi)
As a breeder, I would highly recommend this ground transporter to transport my puppies to their new owners. Best communication EVER as he constantly was sending pictures, videos, and updates along the trip. He also was very safe as he made frequent stops and stayed at motels along the way. Absolutely a 5 star! The very BEST! I am definitely going to use him in future!
10 lbs German Shepherd Dog from Syracuse, NY to Sarasota, FL (1322 mi)
Our pup had a long journey; he was happy and clean when he arrived and didn't appear to be upset about the trip. Our driver took good care of our precious cargo; we would highly recommend.
23 lbs poodle mix from Philadelphia, PA to Scottsdale, AZ (2336 mi)
Brianna was absolutely amazing! Our dog does not like new people but she instantly warmed up to Brianna. They were exactly on time for the pick up and delivery and they were very responsive throughout the trip. I can’t wait to use them for the return trip!

Paul is one of kind. He went above and beyond to help us save a stray dog in Texas and transport him to California. The care and love he showed our new baby boy was above an beyond. Thank you Paul! From the Smiths and Fallout
80 lbs Labrador Retriever from Dixon, CA to Long Beach, CA (415 mi)
Howard is such a polite and caring man. He was able to accommodate our ideal schedule to bring our new dog home. He treated her so well. We were updated throughout their travels on how she was doing and where they were at. When they were close to home we were given live tracking which was super helpful. I would absolutely hire Howard again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
108 lbs Bernese Mountain Dog from Cedar Grove, NJ to Washington, DC (226 mi)
We used Shawn for the delivery of our Bernese mountain from NJ to DC. He was excellent. Great communication, updates, and very accommodating in terms of scheduled pick up and drop off. Will definitely use him again!
136 lbs Mixed Breed from Phoenix, AZ to Oklahoma City, OK (958 mi)
Life-Saving Care from Sugar’s Fur Babies Express Maria Sugarman of Sugar’s Fur Babies Express was truly a lifesaver — and I do not say that lightly. After my sister’s brother passed away unexpectedly, our family was faced with an urgent and emotional situation: locating his beloved dog, Opie, and getting him safely from Arizona to Oklahoma to be with family. Every option we explored seemed impossible. Flying wasn’t viable — Opie is geriatric, XXL-sized, significantly overweight and has severe mobility and health issues. We kept hitting roadblocks and felt completely overwhelmed. From the very first moment I connected with Maria at Sugar’s Fur Babies Express, I felt immediate relief. She understood the urgency, the emotional weight, and most importantly, Opie’s special needs. Maria personally picked Opie up in Phoenix and transported him safely to Oklahoma, and from start to finish, I never once worried about him while he was in her care. Maria kept me updated with photos and videos throughout the journey, which meant everything to us. Opie had barely eaten since his owner passed away 23 days earlier — and Maria was the first person who got him to eat a full meal. That alone speaks volumes about the comfort, trust, and calm she provided him. She also carefully monitored and updated us on a pre-existing toenail injury, taking incredible care of his tender foot and his aching hips. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness, compassion, and experience. I never had to wonder if Opie was okay — Maria had everything covered. When Opie arrived, it was clear he trusted her completely. Since we had never met Opie ourselves, Maria’s familiarity with him helped ease the transition and made him feel safe and secure in a brand-new environment. Maria Sugarman and Sugar’s Fur Babies Express are truly the best. If you are looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were her own — especially in difficult or emotional circumstances — there is no one I would trust more. We are forever grateful.
60 lbs Mixed Breed from Oakland, CA to New York, NY (2908 mi)
I am sure that many may have a good experience with Christina, but we did not. Christina agreed to transport our dog along with some personal items, but while the dog did arrive, the expensive items did not. It is strange that we were not informed that they were "lost" until she arrived to deliver our pet. Additionally, we were sent photos of our pet during the trip, and in one of them, she was eating kibble. Our pet eats the raw meat diet, and for those familiar, switching instantly from raw to a random kibble could cause digestive issues and sickness. The fact that we were not notified that the food we set along with our pet ran out is a big issue. Additionally, we sent enough food for over a week. So while the trip was longer than we were told it would be, which caused me to have to leave NYC without getting to see my pet safely delivered first... The trip was not so long that she should have run out of food. After we received our pet, we also noticed a large bleeding sore on her, along with a swollen leg... Christina and the driver she transferred out pet to halfway through had no idea this happened, and even told me I was lying when I brought it to their attention. Overall, I did not feel care or understanding from them when voicing my concerns - inseatd, we were told we were being "dramatic" and "making it about the money". So to recap: lost items totaling over $2,000, change to dog diet with no notice/permission, and injury to our dog. Would not recommend. 2/5 stars is generous.
200 lbs Doberman Pinscher from San Antonio, TX to Madison, AL (963 mi)
Warsney A. was an outstanding driver who took exceptional care of my dog, including administering his medicine during the trip. He went above and beyond by taking the time to text and send videos, keeping me updated on my pet's well-being throughout the journey. If I have to ship a pet again I will be looking for Warsney A. again.
