There are several things that need to be taken into account when hiring a transporter for your fur-baby. So, choosing the lowest bid may not yield you the results you want. Cheaper is not always better. As a transporter, we need to take into account: 

• Gas prices in various location
•  Vehicle maintenance 
• Emergency repairs 
• Hotel/motel rooms for longer trips
• Time spent for walks and restroom breaks (where applicable), feeding and play time.

Questions you should be asking transporters when doing your research:

1. Are you registered with the USDA and do you follow their guideline?

             Yes, I am registered under personal name, Michelle Hudson. You can verify any transporter by using this link. First blue heading under "What are my search options?"  I follow the rule book pretty close. The only rule I disagree with is keeping the pets in their crates for the entire trip. This can cause problems in the long run, as these babies need to be able to get out and move to keep their muscles from getting weak or causing sores from laying down all the time. So, for this reason, we do walk dogs every 4 hours. Puppies under 4 months old will follow a strict NO PAWS ON THE GROUND policy, but will be allowed to play in the back of the vehicle during breaks.

2. How many pets do you transport at any given time?

           The more pets that are on board, the longer the trip will take. While some transporters do work in teams, it is still a lot of work and time to walk several pets. Stacked transport will take longer for you to receive your furry family member. For the safety, comfort and health of your pets, I prefer to do private transport. This keeps the amount of time on the road down to only what is necessary. It also allows me to keep your pet's condition in focus.

3. Do you get a hotel room at night?

          With multiple pets on board, many transporters will sleep in their  van/car. This means more crate time for the pets.  I use pet friendly hotels / Airbnb's and let the pets stretch out with me. This is another reason I prefer to do private transports.

Michelle was the most kind and amazing pet transporter I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As a military family we move alot and our pet's health is one of our top priorities during such a stressful time. Michelle took our babies and showered them with so much love they didn't get carsick AND wanted her to stay after she brought them to us. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent tons of updates. We will be using them for every pet move from here on out!

I can't thank Michelle enough for such a wonderful experience!!! This was the first time I've used a transport service. Michelle made it extremely easy and walked me through everything. My little "critters" were newly adopted rescues. I was so nervous for them. Lol, I grew a couple gray hairs needlessly. When they arrived home, they were such happy little campers!!! They became best buddies with Michelle!! Thank you again Michelle!!! I will recommend you anytime I hear of someone who needs a transport service. I will reach out to you if I need a transport service again. God bless you Michelle!!

We had an amazing experience with Michelle and her daughter. They were super communicative and professional throughout the entire process. Our pug arrived happy and safe. We can’t thank them enough. Will definitely use again and recommend at the most highest level.

I can’t say enough good things about Michelle. I hired her through citizenshipper to transport my 4 year old Labrador from Charleston SC to the Atlanta airport. The delivery was very time dependent since my baby daughter and I were travelling by plane going to meet Michelle at the departures and check the dog. Needless to say I was nervous. Michelle was conscientious and detailed from first contact getting all pertinent details, crate size, dog temperament, and timing. She arranged to arrive the night before to leave early and kept in regular contact up to the date of departure and on her way to Charleston. She took excellent care of Kiki ensuring a comfy ride stopping multiple times to feed and play and bathroom so she would be d’elle cervidés before her overseas flight. She provided updates along the journey and arrived early at the airport and delivered Kiki happy and healthy and on time for her long flight to Zambia. I can’t thank her enough. I will be recommending her to all my friends who work overseas . Thanks Michelle and her daughter Barb!!

I had a great experience with Michelle H. She is super nice and someone you can trust. She was a great help from beginning to end. She brought an 8 weeks miniature poodle all the way to Seattle,WA from Charlotte,NC . The new owners were super excited and satisfied. She kept us posted all the way through with messages, photos, videos, etc. I would highly recommend her services. Will definitely choose her services if I need to.
