Where pets are flying the ground routes
What pet owners ask us
How much does pet transport cost?
Ground transport typically runs a few hundred dollars for shorter trips up to $1,000–$1,500 for cross-country moves, depending on distance, pet size, and whether the ride is shared or dedicated. Your emailed quote is one all-in number — no fees added later.
Who actually drives my pet?
Independent professional transporters from our partner network. Every driver is background-checked, USDA-registered, and insured before we send them a single trip. We stay your point of contact the whole way.
Does my pet need paperwork to cross state lines?
Most states require a veterinary health certificate (CVI) issued shortly before travel. We tell you exactly what your route needs and coordinate the timing with your vet.
Can my pets travel together?
Yes — bonded pets ride together in the same vehicle, usually at a lower combined rate than two separate trips. Mention both pets in your quote request.
When do I pay?
Only after you approve the quote and we confirm your driver and dates. Nothing is charged when you request a quote.
