If you need help moving your dog, I highly recommend The Pet Porters. We recently moved internationally and needed to get our two large dogs overseas. Jelena took care of all the details and made the trip as smooth as possible. Neither of my dogs had ever traveled like this before and they were treated like royalty. Through out the trip, i received photo updates about how they were doing and constantly knew were they were. Moving is stressful on it's own, add in moving dogs and I was overwhelmed. The Pet Porters took away all that stress and made it feel effortless. I highly recommend them!
Can't recommend highly enough. Our puppy was transported from New Mexico to Boston and back. We got lots of picture updates and our (very nervous) dog was obviously happy and relaxed on arrival both times. Kim was awesome. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend The Pet Porters! I had a hard time finding a way to get my 100lb dog from Seattle, WA, USA to Manta, Ecuador. Then I found the Pet Porters and the process couldn't have been smoother. Jelena and team were lifesavers!! They got my big baby right to my door in Manta with pictures and updates throughout the entire trip. Now he's enjoying life as a part-time couch potato and part-time beach dog!
Jelena and her team were professional, knowledgeable and quick to respond at all times. They helped me to navigate through every step of the arduous process of transporting a pet overseas. Rufus arrived in the UK safe and well! Thank you!
Such a great crew of ladies! So grateful their business exists or else I wouldn't not have been able to get my Bella. Great communication while traveling.... Even before and after! Renee truly took care of Bella as if she were her own. 110% satisfied with the pet porters and highly recommend them!!! Professional ladies who know what they are doing, and have a huge heart!
I just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to Jelena she was absolutely amazing and awesome. Responded well to all my million questions. Couldn't of done it without her. Moved my rescue from US to the UK and she's now living her best life. Many thanks
The Pet Porters are the best pet transport service! My family moved from OK to WA and we were waiting for our house to be ready. We needed our 5 kitties to be boarded for a few days plus transport. The Pet Porters worked with our schedule, boarding our kitties for a great cost and transported them to WA when we were ready for them. They kept in great communication and gave us updates on how they were doing every day. This group of ladies took great care of our babies and they returned to us happy and healthy!
This was the first time we ever had to ship our animals. There were complications with our original plans through the military and we were pressed with time. I went through 5-7 different agencies and kept coming back to this one, and boy I'm so glad I did! This was by far the best experience I have had and it really eased my mind and took a lot of my stress away! This team was absolutely fantastic! If I could give them 10 stars I would, they were by far the most helpful, caring and kind group to work with! They took care of every single thing that was needed and required for transporting our fur babies overseas from California to Germany! They communicated every detail, answered every question without hesitation or any complaints, the transferring process went smoothly, and they even worked with my requests! Even after the animals landed I could tell they were comfortable and taken care of! Truly am so happy, and I would highly recommend them!
The Pet Porters were awesome. When we found the perfect puppy in Oklahoma, I started my search for a company to ship him to NY. I found The Pet Porters and spoke with Renee. She was very patient with answering my questions and alleviating our concerns. Once we met at the airport she took her time to tell me how our little guy did on the flight and how to care him for on the remainder of his trip home. This was all back in back March 2021, and now our little guy is a happy, healthy, rambunctious little guy who's the love our lives. This would not have been possible without The Pet Porters, they literally bring families together and are awesome!
I would give the Pet Porters six stars if I could! They transported my dogs 2500 miles from the Northwest to the deep South, in the heat of early summer. Renee, my dogs' amazing handler, was extremely kind, professional and went above and beyond in her dedication to our dogs' comfort and happiness during their big journey.
We received multiple photos throughout the day (one in front of the South Dakota Corn Palace was a highlight!) and reports on how the dogs were doing. Our dogs slept in Renee's hotel room bed with her, and she constantly told us how much she loved spending time with them. It was abundantly clear that she is a dog lover and would do anything to keep our beloved pups safe and happy!
I researched quite a few pet transporters, and given our needs and my high standards for my dogs' care (especially in the summer heat!), the Pet Porters were the only ones that met all of my needs. Not only that, they completely exceeded my expectations and I'll be recommending them to everyone that could possibly ever need to move their dogs anywhere ;) Thanks, Renee, for taking such loving care of our beloved pups!
