    Transcontinental was amazing in relocating my dog. Timothy was responsive, answering my questions over the weekend and in the evenings. He didn't miss a single detail. Due to COVID, routes were constantly changing, but Timothy was able to stay ahead of the changes and would quickly propose alternate routes that got my dog to me in the most direct way possible. Other companies were proposing extremely long flights with multiple layovers that would have been exhausting and stressful for my pup. I had to arrange for a vet health check over time zones and bad internet. Tim went above and beyond and found a vet close to my mom’s house that would upload the health certificate online so we could meet the certificate validity period. I emailed Tim an hour after the vet appointment to tell him that my dog’s appointment went well, and he told me that he had already followed up with the vet and was double-tracking the USDA application from his side. Timothy was extremely professional, courteous, and personable. I would absolutely recommend anyone moving their pets to go with Transcontinental. The price was competitive, and the service was excellent. Our family is so happy to have our puppy with us again.

    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.

  • Experienced, professional, and responsible. They helped transit my cat from SFO to Hong Kong smoothly, and patiently helped me track all the paperwork. I'm glad that I chose them over other pet transport companies. Highly recommend anyone who needs to transport their pets internationally.

    We had a great experience - everything we had to do was clearly explained, and everything else was taken care of by Timothy and his team. Timothy is meticulous over the details which really helped me feel like I didn’t have to worry about anything (especially because the UK is quite finicky over vaccination records). Our cat was picked up from our house in San Francisco and safely delivered to London Heathrow. We received lots of pictures along the way when possible, and we felt she was in safe hands the whole time. Truly as stress free as it could have been. Can’t recommend Transcontinental Pet Movers enough!

    Tim's invaluable assistance was absolutely essential for my puppy and me to successfully relocate from Los Angeles to Singapore. He was available round the clock, offering his support through email and phone communication. His generosity in helping us was remarkable, and I firmly believe that the value of his service exceeds its cost. Thanks again, Tim!

    Patient, carefulness, communicative, professional. Thanks for everything relocating my 8 yrs boxer, from Los Angeles to Shanghai, a three days journey. They prepared enough water with ice, icy pat and cooling box in the kennel. Enough supplies for my dog. They even packed the door sign for me lol.My dog is now at new country, new home, with me, safe and sound. Each dollar I paid worth it, love for dog. A house without a boxer is not a home! Thanks again!

  • 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 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.

    We found Transcontinental flying our cat from LAX to PEK, which is a route within their expertise. They were patient along the way answering questions in each step, would highly recommend.

  • 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.

    I just imported a puppy from Spain and it was a nerve wracking experience but the last leg was handled by Transcontinental Pet Movers and that part was great. I worked with Timothy and he made it easy and painless and I can't say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable, calm, thorough, and responsive and he understood how important this was to me. The puppy had to be in a crate for at least 18 hours and that's a LONG time for a 4 month old puppy! They cleaned up the puppy and the crate so thoroughly that I would never have known there had been a big mess if they hadn't told me. I'd say they went above and beyond. All in all, it was the perfect ending to a long, scary ride. For me, mostly. Thanks, Transcontinental.

    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!

    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.

    Moving countries is tough already, and I had no idea how intense the moving process for pets would be. Thankfully, I turned to Timothy. He went above and beyond, always answering promptly, and ALWAYS knew the answer to any question. He took initiative and worked directly with the vet to make sure my pup got safely to me in the UK. With regards to Timothy - I can honestly say, there is no room for improvement because he already brings the best service you can think of. If you are looking for help with moving your pet, I wouldn't look any further than Transcontinental Pet Movers.

    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.

    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!!!
