Cat transport video testimonials

She drove four of my cats from California to Florida in record time and got them to me safe and sound, and I was overjoyed.

Recorded

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.

Won by Gina Esguerra for $1,000.00

Shipment from Clarksville, TN to San Diego, CA

Gina was amazing. She helped me pick up my cat from my ex husband, whose phone number I didn’t even have anymore. She was quick, because she was already on the east coast. She kept me updated with progress and photos. I have never used this type of service before but she set the bar high. I highly recommend her, she made me feel at ease.

Won by Chulengo Logistics + Transport LLC for $325.00

Shipment from Somerset, PA to Philadelphia, PA

William was the absolute best! He took such great care of my Persian kitten, Poof, and made the entire transportation process so much less stressful for me. He kept me updated throughout the entire drive, allowed me to track his progress, and made sure I knew Poof was in good hands every step of the way. One thing I especially appreciated was that Poof was the only pet in the car, so he received VIP treatment at no extra charge! ❤️ It was such a relief knowing my baby had William’s full attention and wasn’t being transported alongside other animals. You can tell that William genuinely cares about the pets he transports and wants to make the experience as safe and comfortable as possible. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and caring pet transportation. Thank you, William, for bringing my baby home safely! 🐾❤️

Won by TRUTH IN LIGHT LLC for $25.00

Shipment from Dallas, TX to Plano, TX

I needed someone tonight and a sure thing. The driver was swift and the short trip was fair price. He was not far and most of all he got it done. Safe and great communicator. I was skeptical of all the lack of reviews. But I needed something reasonable. Every thing else was just out of the prices I could handle last minute. * Truth in light * did just well for me. Will book again. It was worth trying them out. So happy to be their first review. I love this platform when I find fair prices. Tips are warranted for this type of service.

Won by Corky's Critter Carriers for $500.00

Shipment from Coushatta, LA to Prattville, AL

I cannot recommend Corky’s Critter Carriers enough! I’ll admit, I was extremely hesitant at first about booking pet transportation online. I was worried about getting scammed and even more worried about my cat, Charlie, making such a long trip from Louisiana to Alabama. He means so much to me, so trusting someone I had never met to transport him was a huge deal! Charlie was originally my cat years ago, and after being apart for nearly six years, I finally had the opportunity to bring him back home. Corky’s Critter Carriers helped make that reunion possible, and I couldn’t be more thankful! From the beginning, everyone at Corky’s was wonderful and made the entire process so much easier. Dutch was absolutely amazing! He took great care of Charlie and got him home safely, which was my biggest concern. I cannot express how relieved and thankful I am! He updated me the whole way, & got Charlie home to me in less than a day! If you’re hesitant about booking pet transportation like I was, I hope this review gives you some peace of mind. I’m so glad I trusted Corky’s Critter Carriers with Charlie, and I would absolutely use them again! Thank you to Dutch and everyone at Corky’s for helping reunite me with my boy! ❤️

Won by Streamlined w/Lacey (SOLO RIDES ONLY) for $500.00

Shipment from Licking, MO to Bottineau, ND

They are absolutely amazing! They safely transported both of my babies and took such wonderful care of them throughout the entire journey. I loved receiving pictures and being able to track their location through GPS, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets were clearly in good hands, and I am beyond thankful for the care, patience, and love they showed them. On top of everything, they have been incredibly understanding and compassionate about my financial situation. Money is tight right now, and instead of making me feel bad about it, they have been so kind and understanding while working with me to figure out a payment plan that works for everyone involved. That level of compassion truly means so much to me. I cannot recommend them enough! They went above and beyond to make sure my babies arrived safely, and I will always be grateful for everything they have done for us. If you need someone trustworthy who genuinely cares about your pets and understands that life can be difficult sometimes, these are the people you want! ❤️🐾

Won by Ricardo E. for $1,400.00

Shipment from Santa Rosa, CA to Spokane, WA

This was the first time I ever had an out of state move and the task of moving 3 cats was just a touch daunting. Up until this point, I didn’t even know such services existed. Am I ever grateful they do. I signed up with citizen shipper and was immediately offered up many options of people that I combed through. I read several, but was really impressed with what Ricardo had to say and so I contacted him. Eventually I was able to speak directly as I decided he was the right person to entrust with my precious cargo. Payment was easy and communication was 100% on point throughout the entire time leading up to the trip and through it. Ricardo took great care of my guys and I’m very grateful for that. I highly recommend Ricardo, hire him with complete confidence.

Won by Spartan Pet Transport for $670.00

Shipment from South Jordan, UT to Kalamazoo, MI

We hired Spartan to send our big orange guy, Julius, (cat) to Michigan from Salt Lake City, UT. They were amazing. We got regular updates along the way and they were on schedule. Unfortunately, Julius didn’t take very well to traveling by kennel and he hissed, cried, yowled and bit Alroy, our driver throughout the trip. We considered ourselves lucky that they didn’t drop him off on the side of the road in the Rocky Mountains. Just kidding! We miss Julius greatly, but his trip was a necessity. And we are very grateful to Alroy and Spartan Transport for their professionalism and kindness with such an unruly passenger. Thanks Spartan!

This was one of the easiest moves I’ve made. The hardest decision was parting with Leo during the move. He was unable to travel with me due to Amtrak’s pet policy. I was extremely excited when I found La Familia! They kept me in the loop with videos and pics of Leo. When he arrived he was happy to see me and he was not stressed out like I thought he would be. I would definitely recommend anyone needing to have their pet transported use this company. 🐈

Cat transport questions

What do cat owners say most often in CitizenShipper reviews?

Of the 500 most recent cat transport reviews, published from February to October 2026, 97% are five stars, 42% mention photo, text, or live-location updates, 48% 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.
