Ground Shipping Testimonials

Watch the Highlights from our 2024 Ground Transports!

The boys are settling in well! Varian of course acts like he's been here his whole life. Anduin occasionally decides he's had enough of a new place and sleeps under the covers, but for the most part he's his normal self. He's not skittish or spooked at all. All in all I would call the journey a success!

Thank you so much for all you and Monte did to get the boys safely from San Diego to Seattle. Just like their previous two cross-country trips, the whole process was smooth and professional -- and it makes such a difference knowing that the boys are with someone who really cares for them. If I relocate again, Happy Tails will be one of my first calls!

Thank you again! ♥️

Cheers,

I could not be happier with my experience with Happy Tails Travel! I was nervous about moving my Golden Retriever but Kim and McKenna made the trip so much easier. Kim was very responsive and attentive, making sure to answer all my questions and give me an exact play-by-play of what to expect. It made the stress a lot easier to manage. McKenna drove my Benjamin from CA to NV, originally meant to be around an 8 hour drive but ran into some weather trouble due to snow and closed roads. She kept me updated every step of the way with pictures and was ready to stay the night somewhere with Benjamin to be safe. She was able to bring him home to me the same day which turned into a 12 hour trip! She was an absolute rockstar and I could not be more grateful. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking to move their pets.

Marko was wonderful.  Snickers loved him and the riding experience.  She loves car travel, especially when she likes the person.  We appreciate the love and care that was given to Snickers and would highly recommend your service to people who love and care about their precious pets.  We have used your service before and will continue to use your service.

Everyone is settling in well, and we are very happy our kitties are home. Both of them were obviously well taken care of, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Keely and John for bringing them home safe! We loved all the updates they sent, and my daughter loved all the pics and videos. It was awesome to know exactly where they were at all times, and we followed their progress on a map.

Thank you,

We contacted Happy Tails Travel to help us move our cat, Roxie, from Virginia to Texas. Our Roxie is a high maintenance girl - we can’t even take her to the vet because she transforms into something unrecognizable that we refer to as “devil kitty.”

We didn’t want to fly her because of this, and even though it would take longer, we felt that door-to-door ground transport was the safest option.

Thanks so much to Happy Tails!!! Our driver, Mia, is “the cat whisperer” and knew just how to handle our fussy fur baby. Roxie traveled very well with Mia, and arrived in Texas perfectly fine and unaffected from it all. She’s a happy girl in her new home!

Mia provided us constant updates, and really cared about Roxie’s welfare…and ours!! She provided us great advice for trying to travel across the country with a hurricane on the way. Mia also gave us tips for how to acclimate Roxie in her new home.

The entire experience was worth every penny. Thanks, Happy Tails!!!

Best,

Cathey, James, and Linda…and Roxie!

I was a complete wreck over moving my 2 “country” dogs from their big property in Napa, CA to an apartment in New York City. How they would get there was my biggest worry. My hound mix, Eloise is very leash-reactive with a lot of anxiety and her mini goldendoodle brother, Kevin, has terrible separation anxiety. After speaking with our vet, we decided Eloise couldn’t handle the chaos and noise of air travel, so I started looking for ground transportation. Every company I checked had multiple animals in crates all traveling together... until I found Happy Tails Travel. My dogs could drive across the country with a kind and professional driver who loves dogs! 

I couldn’t have been happier with Lizzie’s understanding and compassion in finding a driver familiar with anxiety, not to mention her kindness to this dog mama’s anxiety! Our driver, Robert was amazing. He sent videos and pictures and texts multiple times a day. He answered my questions about their medication and if they were eating and I knew they were in good hands the entire drive. They arrived in New York happy and healthy and are now settling into their new city life. 

From the very beginning, Lizzie was professional, with clear communication and instructions on everything. She did an excellent job and made the entire process seamless and as stress-free as possible. I truly cannot thank Happy Tails enough and would happily recommend their service to everyone I know!

Safe and sound!  Harrison had a great road trip across the country and we’re now enjoying summer in the great Pacific Northwest together.  He hit it off right away with Happy Tails Travel driver David (and Wendy), who provided excellent communication starting even before pick-up, and sent updates at regular intervals along the way.  We’re so happy to have found your company, and beyond satisfied with the service provided from the get-go, starting with our initial email conversations with Lizzie, who provided all the details to help us comfortable with the staff, support, and understanding the logistics.  David gave us confidence that our senior dog was in good hands with attentive care and safe driving. They made excellent time and we were reunited with Harrison even sooner than anticipated.  Our pup arrived in great spirits after almost 2,000 miles on the road, and ready to start his summer adventure!
