My dogs and cats had a very comfortable trip across the USA. They were safe and truly cared for; would 100% recommend!

Sheldon, knowing your furry family members were comfortable throughout their cross-country trip is exactly what we hope for! Thank you for choosing CitizenShipper and for recommending us. Providing peace of mind while your pets travel safely is what we're all about.
My two cats, Mimi and Henry, are family. Sam T took exceptionally good care of them on the long journey from Florida to Connecticut. Sam provided regular updates and included photos so I could see that my two cats were doing just fine. He showed up to pick them up as scheduled, and I was able to coordinate easily for their arrival in Connecticut. This is EXCELLENT service that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking to transport their furbabies anywhere.

Excellent company entered my needs and received many bids to ship an elderly dog. The site included reviews and ratings which helps when deciding. The shipper I used from their site was excellent.

Cross-country pet shipping made easy, safe and fast!
Sharon was hands down one of the best decisions I made during this whole process. She was quick to communicate, flexible with pickup in Austin TX, and actually delivered Hunter to Washington state ahead of schedule. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals in her care, and that made me feel completely secure in my choice. Sharon is trustworthy, dependable, and clearly loves what she does. She is the real deal. Trusting someone with your pet across that many miles is nerve wracking, but Sharon put me at ease from our very first conversation! I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone needing pet transport!

Tany, it's great to know that Sharon made such a long journey from Austin, TX to Washington feel easy with her communication, flexibility, and genuine care. Trusting someone with your pet isn't always easy, so knowing Sharon made you feel confident from your very first conversation is especially meaningful. We're glad CitizenShipper helped you find a transporter who was the right fit, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
By far the BEST pet transporter ever!!!!! Professional, caring and fast. The driver over delivered! He got my parrot to me in record time! Best part is that I got live updates along the trip with photos and map records.

Incredible experience. I recommend CitizenShipper to anyone that needs pets transport, we used Pets and Pathways LLC to take our dog literally across the country, Utah to Maine, and they took such great extra care of our dog.

Paul did an amazing transporting my mother in law’s
Paul did an amazing transporting my mother in law’s dog from Arizona to Ohio! He sent us videos and updates along the way, which gave us comfort in knowing that Sasha was OK! He was so great that Sasha wanted to get back into his car when he arrived to his final destination♥️!

Christy, it sounds like Sasha made a lifelong friend along the way! We're so happy to hear that the videos and updates gave your family peace of mind, and that the journey to Ohio was such a positive experience. Thank you for choosing CitizenShipper and for trusting our reliable transport network with your beloved companion.
This was the 2nd time using this platform and it was very easy to log in, post my request and then get immediate feedback/bids from potential vendors. When one vendor could not meet my needs I got quick help from customer service and a credit and found a new provider quickly. I highly recommend.

My cat transport driver understood how important my cat is to me and he was actually early with the drop off my cat was going from Ohio to Virginia. He also kept me posted about the trip the whole way. I would recommend this driver to anyone and everyone
Reply from CitizenShipper2026-07-08
Melanie, knowing your cat was in caring hands from Ohio to Virginia is exactly the kind of experience we hope every pet parent has. We're so glad CitizenShipper helped connect you with a driver who kept you updated every step of the way and made the journey feel worry-free. Thank you for trusting us with such an important trip and for recognizing the peace of mind that comes with great communication.
Kara took care of my fur baby and I appreciate the communication and staying on top of everything and updating all the way till the end. She was very sweet and pleasant to work with. I would recommend friends and family to her
Reply from CitizenShipper2026-07-09
It’s always wonderful to hear when a transporter makes such a positive impression. Thank you for choosing CitizenShipper. Kara's consistent communication and updates are exactly the kind of care that helps bring peace of mind throughout the journey, and we're grateful for your recommendation.
Fantastic experience!!! Awesome care given to my skittish cat. Over 1100 miles and Adam K took excellent care of her. No escapes (which happened on her previous moving day), and arrived safe and sound. Adam K even brought her crate into her new home before opening the door to let her out, just in case. He gave multiple updates during trip. everything went on time as promised. Adam K’s quote was more than fair. I would absolutely use citizen shipper again.

Thank you for choosing CitizenShipper and for trusting one of our experienced transport professionals with such a special member of your family!
Very easy to work with and did exactly what they said that they would do.

The people that delivered my dog were phenomenal and did an amazing job. Everything from communication to pictures was above and beyond my expectations so I appreciate them. The problem I have is the fee that I had to pay just to get their information and use them. It is extremely excessive to have to pay hundreds of dollars just to be able to find the person to ship my animal. And before you tell me what you feel is a justified service for the price, you can never convince me that it is an acceptable amount. I could hire directly to the carrier and save myself a couple hundred dollars that could go to the person actually taking care of my animal.

Ronnie, thank you for sharing your experience. We're happy to hear your driver provided such great care and kept you updated throughout your pet's journey.
We also understand your frustration with the booking fee, and your point it can feel like an added cost just to connect with a transporter.
The fee is not simply for contact information, it helps support the secure marketplace behind the booking, including access to vetted transporters, marketplace oversight, customer support, secure payment handling, and protections like our Booking Assurance Guarantee and Pet Protection Plan.
For pet shipments, those safeguards matter because customers are trusting someone with a beloved animal, not just an item. That said, we appreciate your honest feedback and recognize that we can do a better job making the value of the booking fee clearer before customers commit.
We found PawTrek Transport through Citizen Shipper. Our cats made it safely and well care for all on a cross country move.

I had a great experience on CitizenShipper. My adopted dog was driven from Texas to NY. It was an easy process to find a trusted driver. The company I worked with took such great care of him. I have nothing but great things to say!
