Shared Bus Transport
Shared Bus Transport Explained
Our Shared Bus Transport is our most affordable ground option. Instead of charging per mile, the price is based on how many pets we can safely pick up along a scheduled route — up to 20 pets total. Because multiple families share the transport, we’re able to keep costs low while still providing safe, comfortable travel for each pet.
How It Works
- Operates on scheduled routes with a 7-day pickup window (Monday–Sunday).
- Your pet is assigned to the next available route within that window.
- Typical delivery time frame is 3–5 days, depending on the route.
- Each pet has its own secured space, with regular breaks and continuous monitoring.
- Two pets(same species ex. 2 cats, 2 dogs) may fit in a large Kennel for a small additional charge with a combine weight of 70lbs
- A great option for families looking for reliable transport at the best value.
Pros
- Cost-effective: This is the most budget-friendly option while still offering safe, dependable transport.
- Premium care included: Pets receive the same high-quality care, attention, and monitoring as all our upgraded services.
- Structured routes: Clearly scheduled routes make it easy to plan ahead and secure a spot.
Cons
These aren’t “negatives” — they are simply things clients should understand so they pick the best option for their needs:
- May take longer due to multiple pickups and drop-offs along the route.
- Limited updates during travel because drivers are actively working with many pets and multiple stops.
- Must work within our schedule: Pickup is based on our available route dates, not custom dates.
- 24-hour pickup notice: You receive your exact pickup day within 24 hours of the driver’s arrival window.
- Pet size restrictions: We cannot move pets over 80 lbs because they must fit safely in a standard Large Kennel (approx. 36” L × 24” W × 26” H).
Cat Owners:
For all cat transports, clients are required to provide an appropriate travel carrier for the safety of the cat during transfer from the client to the handler. Ground and international services require a 32” L plastic taxi kennel. For all in-cabin air services, clients must provide an airline-approved travel bag, preferably 17” x 11” x 11”, depending on the airline service selected. Carrier requirements may vary by service type, and one of our agents will explain the approved carrier specifications during the booking process.
Providing your cat’s travel carrier in advance helps create a safer and more comfortable transition during pickup and transport. When a cat is introduced to their kennel or airline bag before travel day, it gives them time to acclimate to the smells, space, and environment they’ll experience during transport. This adjustment period can significantly reduce travel-related stress and anxiety while helping your pet feel more secure during handler transfer from the client to our team.
