Cat transport video testimonials

I was really stressed, but I found Citizenshipper and chose a company called Precision Courier Solutions, and they delivered all of my babies safe and sound. I definitely recommend Citizenshipper, and I'm very, very, very sure I'm gonna be using it for my dogs, too. Might even use them for my bird. They did a great job. The amount of stress that has melted away just because I have my cats back is wonderful. They were all taken care of. They were all fed, played with, and loved, and they got to me in very good condition.

So I was in a very interesting situation. I have nine cats, four big ones and five kittens. And thanks to some drama with my ex, I wasn't able to take my kittens out of my grandparents house when we broke up and they had to stay there. And then I got pregnant and I moved to Tennessee when I was six months pregnant. I am now eight months pregnant. And I was so worried about my cats because they weren't being taken care of, their litter boxes weren't being changed, they weren't being interacted with. And let me tell you, I was stressing so hard and I found Citizenshipper and I was so worried about finding an app that wasn't gonna scam me or like steal my cats. But I found Citizenshipper and I chose a company called Precision Courier Solutions and they delivered me all of my babies safe and sound. Hi. Even the little kittens. And since they've been here, they have been completely destroying my room and having the best time of their lives and doing so much better than they were before. Huh, guys? Huh? He's doing so good. Anyway, definitely recommend Citizenshipper. I have some dogs who are in a significantly better situation, but that I am gonna have to move out here eventually. And I'm very, very, very sure I'm gonna be using Citizenshipper for my dogs too. Might even use them for my bird. Definitely recommend it though. They did a great job. And the amount of stress that has melted away just because I have my cats back is wonderful. And they were all taken care of. They were all fed and played with and loved and got to me in very good condition. So approve.

So I booked through citizenshippers and with a woman named Casey from Sit, Stay and Go and she was amazing. She drove four of my cats from California to Florida in record time and got my cats safe and sound to me and I was overjoyed. She was great. Texted me along the way, sent pictures, let me know that my cats were fine and doing well. Well. And I couldn't have been more pleased. I also tipped her paying her the balance and she informed me that no one ever tips them. So I'm surprised that for people that take care of your fur babies, you don't give them extra love for taking care of them. But I happily gave her an extra tip because she deserved it. Casey at Sit, Stay and Go is amazing.

Ten stars. I could not have asked for a better person. He kept in touch before and during the trip, delivering my two cats to Vegas and then three California. Both pickup and drop offs went smoothly, and he made sure none were in the middle of the night. Others should know that he may have other pets with yours, in this case two very friendly dogs also going to California, but he was prepared to keep them separated from the cats. Everything worked out perfectly! Thank you, Paul!!

Logistics with love did an excellent job making my kitties feel as safe and comfortable as possible while they traveled over 1,000 miles across country. She built a special set up where they could still hide out in their carriers if they wanted to come up but they had access to a common space with a litter box, food, and water. She made sure to send me photos, and we had a video chat as well at one point. She is very friendly and, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs transport for their pets.

Krista was absolutely amazing during this stressful time. My cat accidentally got loaded up in the neighbors u haul who were moving from Tennessee to Ohio. Thankfully we noticed and found him in the truck in West Virginia. She was, empathetic, kind, communicative, and sent pics of my cat whenever requested. I was so worried and stressed. He arrived home today safe and sound. Meeting her in person was a cherry on top. I didn't even know this service was available! My car was in no condition to make a 10 hour turnaround trip, the price was super reasonable. I really enjoyed meeting her and thank you Krista for taking such good care of our baby. Great job 👍

Cat transport questions

What do cat owners say most often in CitizenShipper reviews?

Of the 500 most recent cat transport reviews, published from March to November 2026, 96% are five stars, 41% mention photo, text, or live-location updates, 46% praise communication, and 13% mention feeling nervous before the trip. Many owners describe feeling nervous before the trip and reassured by regular updates, and some describe a cat that arrived calm and comfortable.

Is ground transport better than flying for a cat?

For moves within the US, ground transport is the more common choice because it avoids airline cargo, layovers, and breed restrictions. A ground transporter can keep your cat in its own carrier, stop for food, water, and litter breaks, and send updates along the way. Flying can still make sense when the timeline is too tight for a road trip. See pet transport safety practices for what good ground transport includes.

Can one transporter move several cats, or a cat and a dog, together?

Yes. List every animal in one post so transporters can quote the whole group and plan space for each carrier. Ask the transporter how they keep animals separated, and whether other pets will share the vehicle on a shared route.

How do I choose a cat transporter on CitizenShipper?

Read the transporter's reviews from other cat owners, check the verification badges on their profile, and message them before you book. Ask how they set up carriers, how often they stop for litter and water, how they send updates, and whether they've taken CitizenShipper's free, vet-reviewed transport safety course. Your messages stay on record in CitizenShipper's messaging system.

What happens if my cat transporter cancels?

If you booked through CitizenShipper's secure checkout, the Booking Assurance Guarantee applies. If the transporter cancels within 5 days of pickup, you get a full refund of the booking fee. If they cancel earlier, support prioritizes finding you a replacement. If you paid the transporter through Secure Payments, that money is held in escrow and can be refunded in full. Contact support within three days of the cancellation, and see how payments and refunds work.
