    Transcontinental did an exceptional job flying my cats to São Paulo, Brazil, from San Francisco. It wasn't easy - we had to deal with a crazy connection in Frankfurt due to temperature restrictions in the US, as well as a last minute embargo by Lufthansa. But Timothy was always there for us, and made sure we felt confident everything would be all right.

    Professional, experienced. There are so many "company" out there provide animal/pet transport service, and of course I've reached out to multiple carriers before finalized my pick. The reason why I pick them among all the other carriers is because how they treat their clients. I am new to this so I want someone that cares, and that is what I feel through out our conversation. Their respond time is the fastest, explanation is the clearest and detailed, which is why I say professional and experienced in the first place. Highly recommend!

  • If I could give these folks 20 stars, I would. Timothy took care of EVERYTHING down to the tiniest detail, and this was a hard, last minute, INSANE move. But my dogs ad my sanity were safe in his hands!! If you are doing an international trip with a pet, this is the person you want to call. There are so many forms, so many nitpicky little things--I promise you that the sanity and time that you get back by just letting Timothy’s wisdom guide you will be worth 10x what you pay for it!!

    My furry kids (a cat and a guinea pig) have arrived in Singapore from US. The process was easy and smooth. Timothy is quite responsive and professional. I would recommend this agency to everyone who needs to export their pets.

  • 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!

    Went through a long process with Timothy to relocate my cat from USA to Singapore.. Although it's long Timothy was always patient and professional, we finally had my cat landed after six months from the initiation of the process. Thanks a lot and would recommend others to go with Transcontinetal Pet Movers's pet transportation service!

    Timothy is honestly the best! After contacting over 10 agencies Transcontinental was the only company that made me feel like they actually cared. Timothy worked with me over 3 different time zones and bent over backwards to help me. Even before we enlisted his services he took the time to explain the process and ways we could go about the big move. He was always around to answer my calls and texts, the man never sleeps! I truly felt like my dog was with a friend. He even waited outside the endorsement office for hours just to speed things along. His honesty was so refreshing, I felt confident in his ability to get my dog home. Above and beyond expectations. Exceptional service and care for an incredibly fare price. 10/10 would recommend absolutely anyone to use Transcontinental Pet Movers. They made a complicated process easy. Thanks Timothy and team!!!

  • We sent both our cat and dog (a big Golden Retriever) back to our home country with Transcontinental Pet Movers. Although we encountered some challenges due to some uncertainties in regulations and flights during COVID, People at Transcontinental Pet Movers were able to solve them professionally and quickly. Because of their IPATA and relevant qualifications, they could book different flights and adjust schedules quickly, which is very important nowadays. Would recommend to our friends whose pets need to travel.

  • 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.

    If you need prompt support and advice on transferring your pet internationally, Tim would be the go to person! Tim helped with the transfer of my dog from US to Singapore. Due to complications, we did experience unplanned events. However, throughout the process, Tim was supportive and able to provide sound advice which is a relief to the already stressed situation. Communication was prompt and timely which definitely helped! Picture of my baby arriving safely at destination! Thank you Tim!

    Very helpful. The company kept in touch until I received the animals. I highly recommend. them. Of all the companies they communicated with me the time it took to set up and receive and deliver. You want your animals taken care of use this company. You'll be making the best of decisions

  • We would rate our experience with Timothy Woods at Transcontinental Pet Movers LLC as absolutely stellar. He was very attentive to our inquiries and needs as we exported our dog from the US to Australia. It is a very convoluted process and we are happy that we had Tim on our team as we maneuvered it. Well worth the money and would recommend him and this company to anyone.

    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.

    Moving is stressful. Add a cross-country move with your dog on top of that and it becomes even more stressful. Timothy and Transcontinental Pet Movers made our move a breeze. We had to board our dog, Luna, with them overnight and Timothy was so fantastic, sending us regular updates with photos and videos of Luna up until her flight took off. He took care of the paperwork and logistics of shipping our pet in cargo, always prepared with a solution and recommendations. I could not recommend TransCon enough!

  • Tim and his counterparts in China made the process of getting our friends cat back to her in the dates from China seamless. They were more affordable than other companies we had looked at using. They are so trustworthy, that we are using them again when my daughter travels back from China with her cat. Definitely recommend this company!

    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!!

    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.
