  • Thank you soooo much for taking good care of my cat and she arrived with good condition!! The price is a little high but really worth it if your car needs a good travel experience.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

  • From day one of inquiring about their pricing, they have been nothing but helpful. They even found a flight for my cat on the same day I was meant to leave. Even though in the end, I was unable to move my pet due to visa issues, they went above and beyond to assist me. Their responses were timely and always courteous. I would definitely go through them right away instead of looking for another company. Thank you for all of your hard work!

    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.

    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!

  • 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.

    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.

    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!!

    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!
