We understand that your pets are family. That’s why TLC Transport focuses on providing a personalized, “one family at a time” approach to pet relocation. This ensures the safest and most attentive care for your furry, feathered, or scaled companions. Let us handle the complexities of pet transport, so you can focus on settling into your new home.
While our specialty is private pet transport, we also offer group pet transport options, providing a more economical solution for pet owners seeking reliable and safe travel for their animals.
Guaranteed Safe and Monitored Ground Pet Transport
At TLC Transport, your pet’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our professional drivers are dedicated to providing constant care and attention throughout your pet’s journey. We use comfortable, climate-controlled vehicles, ensuring your pet travels in optimal conditions, whether it’s heated or air-conditioned.
We prioritize frequent stops every 4 hours for essential rest, exercise, and potty breaks. Dogs enjoy individual 10-minute walk or run sessions, along with some much-appreciated affection like back massages or belly rubs.
Cats are transported in secure, soft-sided carriers designed for their comfort and safety. These carriers are spacious enough to accommodate a full-size litter box and allow room for movement. The mesh windows and zippered openings ensure easy access for care while maintaining a secure, escape-proof environment.
Unlike cargo vans, which can be noisy, bumpy, and isolating, TLC Transport utilizes comfortable vans and SUVs with windows. This allows pets to look out and feel connected to their surroundings and driver. Our drivers interact with the animals throughout the trip, talking to them and offering reassurance, which significantly reduces stress, especially beneficial for cat shipping and delicate bird shipping. Birds in particular require a smooth and draft-free journey, and our vehicles and care protocols are designed to provide just that.
We guarantee on-time delivery, typically within 1 to 4 days of departure, depending on the trip distance. A coast-to-coast tlc transport takes only approximately 4 days. We provide precise pickup and delivery dates, eliminating the uncertainty of broad time windows.
For families with multiple pets, TLC Transport’s “families only” Pet Transportation Package offers significant advantages. Transporting one family’s pets at a time minimizes stress associated with unfamiliar animals and eliminates concerns about potential infectious diseases. Furthermore, in private family transport, dogs are not required to be crated if owners prefer them to travel on their own beds, offering added comfort, especially for senior or disabled pets.
TLC Transport operates a fleet of newer, well-maintained vans and SUVs to ensure reliable and comfortable private family pet transport. We work with your schedule to arrange pickup and delivery dates that suit your needs.
For individuals with one or two pets seeking a more budget-friendly option than exclusive private transport, our intimate group pet transports offer a secure and caring shared ride experience.

NEW Group Transport Schedule: Our group tlc transport services run coast-to-coast monthly. East Coast pickups are scheduled for the 7th of each month, and West Coast pickups are on the 11th.
Whether you’re relocating across the country, planning a vacation with your pets, or are a snowbird heading south for the winter, TLC Transport ensures your dogs, cats, birds, and exotic pets are delivered door-to-door safely, happily, and contentedly.
