"I was nervous sending my 1-year-old pup across the country with a stranger, but JoDee put us both at ease instantly. My dog leapt right into her car! She sent updates along the way and was so easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely loves animals."

Newfoundlands · Tonawanda, NY to Campbell, CA
"If I could give 50 stars, I would. JoDee was attentive, thorough, and asked all the right questions about my two giant Newfoundlands. She sent photos and videos every day, plus a real-time GPS map so I always knew where they were. Moving 200+ pounds of dog cross-country is a big deal, but I'd hire JoDee again in a heartbeat."

Meet JoDee, Your Pet's Personal Travel Companion

I’m JoDee, and I’ve spent more than half a decade perfecting the art of stress-free animal relocation. I started this business after seeing how chaotic and impersonal traditional pet transport could be. I knew there was a better way to move pets that truly prioritizes safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

Every journey is personally overseen by me or a carefully selected member of my team. We operate with a strict “never overcrowded” policy, ensuring your pet receives the one-on-one attention they deserve from pickup to delivery. With professional oversight, full insurance coverage, and consistent communication along the way. We don’t just transport pets, we create a calm, safe experience you can trust every mile of the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our private pet transport services.

How do I get a quote?

Every quote is custom. Just call, text, or submit the form below with your route and pet details, and we'll put together a personalized quote for you.

Your quote is based on:

  • Pickup and delivery locations
  • Desired travel dates
  • Your pet's size and needs
  • Route and timing

You'll receive a clear, all-in quote upfront.

Will my pet travel with other animals?

Most transports are private and direct, meaning your pet travels alone.

In some cases, we may safely combine compatible pets traveling along the same route, but only with careful planning and your approval.

Your pet's safety, comfort, and temperament always come first.

Will I receive updates during the trip?

Yes, you'll receive regular updates, photos, and direct communication throughout the trip. You'll always know:

  • Where your pet is
  • How they're doing
  • When to expect arrival

You're never left guessing.

Do you transport nationwide?

Yes, we provide private, door-to-door pet transport across the U.S.

Every trip is planned individually based on your route, timing, and your pet's needs, not a shared schedule or fixed route.

How do you keep pets comfortable?

Your pet travels in a climate-controlled vehicle with space to relax comfortably. We make regular stops for:

  • Potty breaks
  • Fresh water
  • Movement and comfort checks

Every trip is paced around your pet's well-being, not rushed.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured through PetCare Insurance, and your pet's safety is our top priority.

We also maintain access to a 24/7 on-call veterinarian for additional peace of mind during long-distance trips.

Is this stressful for my pet?

Most pets adjust very well to transport when it's done properly.

Because we provide private, door-to-door transport, your pet isn't exposed to crowded environments, loud facilities, or constant transfers.

We keep things calm, consistent, and paced around your pet, which significantly reduces stress compared to traditional options.
