Love From Across The World

  • Recently, my sweet boy Elio flew from San Francisco to Malaysia via cargo. It was his first international flight and with the help of Timothy, we managed to square out all the paper works right away. Timothy is very knowledgeable in regards to all the minute details that are needed for a smooth sailing journey while providing answers to the many questions I had. I highly recommend Timothy and his company.

    I send my rabbit from SF to Paris. Before I contact Transcontinental I have no idea of how to do it. They answered all my questions and helped me schedule vet, buy flight ticket and so on. They prepared all document needed so I don't have to spend many time on it. At the day my rabbit take flight, they come to my place and help me set up the air cage. They are very professional. They also keep following up until my rabbit get received in Paris. Thanks again! I finally send my rabbit to Paris successfully within 10 days without any issue.

    Big thank you and greatly appreciate all the hard work that Transcontinental did for my cat traveling from LA to Beijing, thanks to their professional arrangements, my cat safely arrived before Christmas, so we could spend the holiday together:) Pet international move is complicated, which could be affected by export/import policies, flight companies, weather….. My cat flights were cancelled 2 times before, I felt so much frustrated, stressful, but Pet Transcontinental took care of all the paperwork and logistics, provide me new solutions, arrange new flight, so my baby cat finally back home with me~~ I highly recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers, they are super reliable, and treat your little ones like family!!!

    I found Timothy extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of getting my dog to Australia from the USA. He provided me with a lot of answers and advice even before I'd officially signed up with Transcontinental and was always quick to respond to any confusion or queries I had throughout the whole process. I also appreciated his honesty, setting me up with realistic expectations when it came to costs, timelines and dealing with government agencies. Thank you so much for getting Taco back to his humans, we are beside ourselves with excitement to go pick him up from quarantine!!

  • To be honest, I can’t find any where more reliable than this one. The price is transparent and reasonable, the service is professional. My cat only spent under 15hrs for layover at SVO which I appreciate it so much. I noticed they did clean the crate when landed at SVO and gave my poor little one food prepared by me all the time. One thing you should know is you only get photo/video proofs at departure, and you will pay a lot just for a photo when your little ones are in any connection. Anything after should be customs clearance company’s (if any) job.

  • Really, really like these guys. Although we didn't eventually go through with the whole process because our pet had some relapse seizures and was ultimately deemed unsafe to fly, we nonetheless had a wonderful experience with Timothy and Co. He is incredibly fast, responsive, knows his stuff, and answers emails point by point and never misses anything. And, to boot, his prices were among the best. We were intending to take a pet to Australia, which has arguably the toughest restrictions, and Timothy navigated it all with a breeze. You really can't go with these guys. Just give them a call, wherever you are intending to take your beloved pet.

    I cannot express how grateful we are to Timothy and the Transcontinental Pet team for all their hard work on our behalf. Not only did they get back to us promptly (and weeks later I am still getting only initial contacts from other places we reached out to) but the price was within our budget and accurate. After a number of missteps on our part, and with Timothy's help, we got my son and his cat back to the UK in far less time than we had been warned of by other pet movers! When the port was closed due to Covid and the pet health certificate was due to expire, Timothy simply loaded the cat into a van and drove her from San Francisco to LA so she could fly on the same day as my son's flight and arrive at Heathrow at very nearly the same time. Yes, it was a (reasonable) extra cost, but regardless, that is truly going the extra mile. He sent us photos of her resting in comfort for her one overnight of boarding, and it really helped set our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers and cannot thank Timothy in particular for his problem solving, hand-holding, and communication at every step in the process.

    Transcontinental was able to help me move my dog from California to the UK on pretty short notice with a plethora of difficulties and restrictions as a result of COVID. My representative, Timothy, was extremely communicative and timely and even sent me photos of my dog during his journey to help put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to relocate a pet abroad!

  • I could not recommend Cordelia and her team more. They know this business and all its nuances. We had a paperwork issue in that my baby Bear would not be able to get on the plane with me, I was upset, crying and worried out of my mind as we were moving from the USA to Ireland and we had to get on the plane. We missed the deadline to submit 1 page of the paperwork. After Cordelia calmed me down she drove straight to my vet got the original needed drove back to SFO and GOT MY BABY ON THE PLANE WITH ME. She is super woman and understands her business, and the precious cargo they organize for their customers. If you need to freight an animal THID is the ONLY company to call

    We recently sought the assistance of Timothy at Transcontinental Pet Movers to help us navigate the complex process of relocating my daughter's beloved cat to the UK. From the outset, Timothy was consistently available for consultations via phone or email, and he promptly addressed any questions or concerns we had about the export process. In hindsight, I would have entrusted Timothy with handling all aspects of transportation and paperwork. The do-it-yourself approach proved to be incredibly stressful, as there are numerous details involved in moving a pet internationally by cargo. This includes the completion of paperwork, arranging cargo shipping, adhering to kennel specifications, coordinating with clearing agents for customs clearance, navigating heat embargoes, and managing concerns about potential flight delays or cancellations. Throughout the entire process, Timothy's guidance provided much-needed reassurance that we were on the right track to ensure a safe journey for my daughter’s cat. Ultimately, the cat arrived in the UK on the same flight as my daughter, and everything went smoothly. We are grateful for Timothy's expertise and professionalism, and we highly recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers to anyone facing a similar situation.

    I'd like to sincerely thank them for helping me with transporting my pet from LA to Beijing safely during this special COVID-19 situation. They were fully responsible for what they were doing and exactly knew what they were capable of. As a valued customer, I highly recommend them to anyone who needs qualitative service and decent information regarding live animal transportation. They will handle your pet safely and carefully!

  • This pet consignment agency is very patient. They communicate directly with the doctors in my cat's clinic, which saves me a lot of time. The cat's return certificate is handled smoothly. It takes less than five days from departure to home in China, and a video will be sent to me in the middle. Let me always pay attention to the cat's state. It's really sweet and great!

    5 star service from Transcontinental Pet Movers. Timothy helped us with a difficult move from Chicago to Perth, Western Australia for 3 cats and an elderly dog, and all arrived in great shape after extended travel! Timothy was meticulous in ensuring all documents and requirements were completed to meet strict Australian import laws, and was very flexible in helping us with boarding our pets in LA during US interstate travel. Additionally, Timothy provided exceptional service to ensure our animals were comfortable before the long flight from LA to Melbourne (where the animals were to be quarantined). Timothy was extremely responsive throughout the entire process, replying to phone call and email questions within the day sent - this really reduced our stress levels during what was a really stressful move for our pets and for us. We spent a lot of time researching other movers at the start, and it was Timothy's patience and responsiveness to our questions which led us to do this complicated move with Transcontinental Pet Movers - the value of this, and their genuine concern for our animals well-being, was far beyond the other providers we spoke with. And Transcontinental Pet Movers did not let us or our pets down!!! A pleasure to work with and thoroughly recommended.
