Won by Christopher L. for $399.00

Shipment from Chesterfield, VA to Vineland, NJ

We booked Christopher's company on 11/4 to assist with one of our rescue pups that was being transported from her foster home to her adoptive home. As a rescue we found is rates to be fair and I appreciated he and his teams communication on the day of transport. We're always concerned by our pups safety whenever we need to transport - but I was very appreciative of how much care went in to keeping her safe, making sure the vehicle was temperature controlled for her perfectly and giving her numerous potty breaks along the day. Awesome experience. Thanks so much!!!

Won by The Animal Transporter for $1,250.00

Shipment from Nocatee, FL to Colorado Springs, CO

I don't know if I'll have enough room to tell about the incredible people JoDee & Alexis are & the incredible care taken of my adopted 75lb golden retriever. Due to an emergency I had to fly to Jacksonville, adopt the dog & get him to Colorado with a few days. They reached out immediately with an incredibly fair price. I was so anxious - new dog - didn't want him in a kennel in a truck to get to his new home. Alexis picked up Marv & not only did he NOT have to be in a kennel, he slept in the back of the SUV in his bed w/his toys. Every time he stopped I got a video or pic - usually of Marv rolling in the grass & eating. That made all the guilt & anxiety disappear! He arrived in 2 days happy & healthy. I will recommend them to any friends/family that needs their fur baby transported!!!

We unexpectedly needed to transport my son’s puppy from Virginia to Utah on just a few days’ notice, and to complicate matters, he was already too big to fly in the cabin of an airplane. Having never used a pet transportation service before, our anxiety was extremely high, but Deborah at P.E.T.S., whom we found through CitizenShipper, immediately put our minds at ease with her professionalism, genuine compassion, and wonderful updates throughout the journey. Our precious puppy arrived safe, sound, and happy, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Deborah for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience—we wholeheartedly recommend her!

Pet transport questions

What animals can I ship with CitizenShipper?

Dogs and cats are the most common, but transporters also move rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, reptiles, pigs, poultry, and some livestock, including horses and cattle. Describe your animal, its crate or enclosure, and any care needs in your listing so transporters with the right vehicle and experience can quote. Horses and larger livestock need a transporter with a suitable trailer.

What do pet owners say most often in their reviews?

Of the 500 most recent pet transport reviews, published from October to November 2026, 96% are five stars, 46% mention photo, text, or live-location updates, and 48% praise communication. Owners of smaller or less common pets describe details like photos at every stop or music played for a bird during the drive.

Can one transporter move all my pets in one trip?

Yes. Put every animal in a single listing, with species, size, and crate or cage details, and transporters will quote the whole group. Booking one transporter for a dog and cats together keeps the household on the same schedule. Ask how the animals will be separated during the trip.

How are pet transporters on CitizenShipper screened?

Transporters are independent contractors screened through Checkr. The background check looks for felonies in the past five years, DUI arrests in the past five years, and any history of animal abuse, among other criteria. Every transporter can also take CitizenShipper's free, vet-reviewed pet transport safety course, which covers first aid, heatstroke, and safe crate setup. Each profile shows which verifications a transporter holds, such as identity, insurance, and USDA registration.

What protection comes with a pet transport booking?

Several layers apply when you book through CitizenShipper. The $1,000 Pet Protection Plan reimburses eligible vet costs if your pet gets sick or injured during the trip, at no extra cost. Your transporter can reach a licensed vet 24/7 through Vetster. Secure Payments holds your payment to the transporter until you confirm delivery, if you ask support to turn it on before booking. The Booking Assurance Guarantee helps you rebook if the transporter cancels. None of these is pet insurance.
