Why Choose TLC Pet Transport?
Moving your pet shouldn’t add to your stress. Let TLC Pet Transport handle your pet’s relocation with expertise and care. We specialize in ensuring your pet’s journey is as comfortable and safe as possible.
Experience and Trust
With over two decades of experience, TLC Pet Transport isn’t just another pet moving company. We are pioneers in private pet transport services, being the first USDA licensed service focused exclusively on “families only” transport. This means we understand the specific needs of families and their pets when relocating. Our long history speaks volumes about our reliability and commitment to safe animal transport.
Stress-Free Pet Relocation
We recognize that pets are family, and moving can be particularly unsettling for them. Our mission is to minimize stress during their journey. By choosing TLC Pet Transport, you’re entrusting your pet to experienced professionals who prioritize their comfort and well-being. We handle all the logistics of pet relocation, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your move.
Safe and Comfortable Journey
Safety and comfort are paramount in our pet travel services. Our professional drivers are trained to closely monitor your pet throughout their entire journey in our climate-controlled vehicles. We ensure frequent stops every 4 hours for potty breaks and exercise. Dogs enjoy individual 10-minute walks, and we always offer a comforting massage or belly rub. For cats, we use spacious, escape-proof carriers equipped with litter boxes, ensuring a secure and comfortable space.
Options for Every Pet Family
Understanding that every pet and family is unique, we offer both private and group pet transport options. Our “families only” service provides personalized attention, reducing stress, especially for pets anxious around other animals. For those seeking a more economical solution, our group transports offer a shared ride option.
Nationwide Service with Guaranteed Delivery
Whether you’re moving across the state or coast-to-coast, TLC Pet Transport provides reliable nationwide pet transport. We pride ourselves on punctual service, typically delivering within 1 to 4 days depending on distance. Unlike other services that offer delivery windows, we provide exact pickup and delivery days, giving you certainty during your move. A coast-to-coast trip with us takes just 4 days, ensuring your pet arrives promptly.
Catering to All Types of Pets
We are experienced in transporting a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and exotic pets. We understand the specific needs of different species. For instance, we prioritize minimizing stress for cats during cat shipping and ensure a smooth, draft-free ride for birds during bird shipping. Our approach is tailored to the unique requirements of each animal we transport.
Our Pet Transport Services
TLC Pet Transport offers tailored services to meet diverse needs, ensuring the best pet transportation experience.
Private Family Pet Transport
Our signature “families only” private pet transport service offers an exclusive and stress-reduced environment for your pets. By transporting one family’s pets at a time, we eliminate the stress of unfamiliar animals and reduce the risk of disease transmission. This service is ideal for multi-pet households, senior pets, or pets with disabilities, allowing them to travel comfortably without crates if preferred. We arrange transports around your schedule, offering flexibility in pickup and delivery dates.
Group Pet Transport
For individuals or families with one or two pets seeking a cost-effective option, our intimate group pet transport service is available. These scheduled transports run coast-to-coast monthly. East coast pickups are on the 7th of each month, and West coast pickups are on the 11th. This is a great option for those who don’t require private transport but still want safe and reliable pet shipping.

Ensuring Your Pet’s Safety and Comfort
We prioritize your pet’s well-being throughout their journey.
Ground Transport Advantages
We exclusively use newer vans and SUVs for our ground pet transport services. We avoid cargo-type vans because we believe they are too bumpy, noisy, and impersonal. Our vehicles offer windows for pets to look out, reducing anxiety and making the trip more engaging. Our drivers interact with your pets, talking to them and providing reassurance, which is particularly beneficial for anxious cats and delicate birds.
Monitoring and Care During Transport
Our drivers are always attentive to the pets in their care. With constant visual monitoring, we can promptly address any needs. Regular 4-hour stops ensure pets have ample opportunity for potty breaks and exercise. Cats are transported in spacious carriers with litter boxes, and we utilize soft-sided carriers with mesh windows for easy access and ventilation.
Booking and Payment Information
Making arrangements for your pet’s transport is simple and straightforward.
Easy Booking Process
To secure your pet transport dates, a $100 deposit is required, payable by credit card or Zelle. This deposit is non-refundable upon cancellation but is fully transferable if you need to reschedule within the same year. After deposit, we’ll email or fax you the necessary paperwork, including a detailed instruction sheet and your driver’s contact number.
Payment Options
The remaining transport balance is due 7-10 days before your scheduled transport. We accept credit/debit cards, certified checks, money orders, and Zelle. Personal checks are also accepted but require 10 business days for processing. We accept all major credit cards for your convenience.
Flexible Rescheduling
We understand that plans can change. Your deposit is honored for rescheduling, offering flexibility and peace of mind.
