Nationwide Pet Transport in Your Own Vehicle
Your pet does not need to fly in cargo, ride in a shared transport van, or spend a cross-country move surrounded by animals it does not know. Professional Drivers gives your pet a different way to travel. Your pet rides in your own vehicle while one professional driver handles the journey from pickup to destination.
Your vehicle, belongings, and pet travel together as one coordinated move. There is no separate pet transport company, no carrier handling the vehicle, and no chain of drivers or terminals along the way. One driver picks up your vehicle, travels with your pet, keeps you informed, and delivers everything to the agreed destination.
Professional Drivers has handled long-distance relocation throughout the continental United States since 1986. More than 20,000 customers have chosen us, our drivers have completed millions of accident-free miles, and our 5-star Google rating reflects the care we bring to every trip.
Your Pet Rides in Familiar Surroundings
Airline cargo means unfamiliar handlers, loud equipment, and separation. Shared pet transport puts your animal in another unfamiliar setting, often alongside other animals.
Your pet travels inside the passenger area of your own vehicle, surrounded by the seats, bedding, toys, and scents it already knows. The driver follows the feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions you provide before departure and travels directly toward your pet’s new home.
Your Pets, Your Vehicle, One Driver
Your pets do not share a transport van with animals they do not know, and your vehicle does not pass between drivers or terminals. One professional driver picks up your vehicle and stays behind the wheel through delivery. Whether you are moving one pet or several, they travel together in your own vehicle with your assigned driver. We transport dogs, cats, and other household pets.
Before departure, you know exactly who is driving your vehicle and traveling with your pets, and how to reach that person directly. Throughout the trip, your driver gives you progress updates. There is no broker to call and no dispatcher standing between you and the driver. The person you meet at pickup is the person who arrives at the destination.
Care Built Around Your Pet's Routine
You know your pet better than anyone. Before departure, tell us how your pet eats, when it needs breaks, what medications it takes, and what the driver should know about its temperament. Your pet’s travel plan then covers:
- Scheduled meals and water breaks
- Regular bathroom, walking, and stretching stops
- Familiar bedding, toys, crates, and restraint systems
- Written medication instructions
- Temperature and ventilation preferences
- Behavioral information and anxiety triggers
- Veterinary and emergency contact information
- Travel updates and pet check-ins
Heating and air conditioning keep the passenger area comfortable throughout the trip. That matters for every pet, and especially for puppies, senior dogs, and anxious animals.
Your Driver Is a Professional
Our driving team includes retired executives, military veterans, former law enforcement, retired airline personnel, and other experienced people with strong records of responsibility and sound judgment.
We match your trip to a driver based on the vehicle, route, schedule, and your needs, and we go over your pet’s routine and care instructions with the driver before departure.
Travel With Your Pet
You can make the trip alongside your pet while one of our drivers handles the road. This works well for older adults, people who do not want to drive long distances, and pet owners who want to stay beside their animal throughout the move.
Tell us who is traveling and what luggage is coming. We go over seating, pet restraints, rest stops, overnight plans, and mobility needs before departure. Then your driver takes the wheel while you and your pet make the journey together.
Prepare Your Pet for the Trip
A little preparation makes the trip easier and gives the driver everything needed along the way:
- Pack your pet’s regular food, treats, and water supplies
- Pack all medications with clear written instructions
- Bring leashes, harnesses, crates, and restraint equipment
- Include familiar bedding, blankets, or toys
- Provide veterinary and emergency contact information
- Make sure identification tags are current
- Organize any records needed for the destination
Pack extra supplies in case of unexpected delays.
