Everything worked very smooth

Everything worked very smooth with CitizenShipper, from the beginning to the very end.
They have so many good and highly rated pet transporters that we had a really hard time to choose one.
Thank you for the job well done!!!

Stellar Transport Team

Within two minutes of their arrival, I knew that I had made a wise decision to transport Mickey my tabby cat with this fantastic team rather than deal with a first time experience on the plane traveling with me. They were engaging, caring, and dedicated from the beginning and kept me updated with photos and message the entire 1600 mile SUV trip. Was worth every bit of the fee and saved me a great deal of anxiety knowing that he was safe and well-cared-for so that I could relax at the airport and on the same destination flight a couple of days later in my case. This two woman team was a rare and lucky find for me. Would recommend without hesitation and will use them in the future!

Take the stress out of your next move!

I love this online business! I've used them 4 times now and every time just gets better. My experience with the company itself is uncomplicated and streamlined... what makes them special is the kind and gentle people they connect me with. People that treat my animals like their animals and my heirlooms like they were their grandmother's! It takes the stress out of an otherwise VERY stressful move! No place seems to be too random for them... and I've a had a few off the beaten trail! Finally, price point is phenomenal if you think about what you are getting. Everybody is background checked and vetted... follow the user reviews for a sperlative experience!

Great experience for puppy

Received multiple quotes. Response timely. Great service. Puppy was picked up in a timely fashion and well taken care of. In spite of a glitch with pick up, the shipper was exceedingly easy to work with and facilitated a safe and expedited delivery

Have my pet (dog) transported from Georgia to Texas

I recently used CitizenShipper to arrange transportation for my pet, and overall, I was very impressed with the platform. The ease of use is truly outstanding. Signing up and creating a listing was quick and intuitive, even for someone who isn’t particularly tech-savvy. What really sets CitizenShipper apart is how quickly you’re matched with potential transporters. Within minutes of posting my request, I received multiple offers from reputable companies and independent drivers, giving me a variety of options to choose from. This level of choice is a huge bonus, as it allowed me to compare rates, read reviews, and select the transporter that best fit my needs and budget.

The platform itself is well-designed and user-friendly. Communication with vendors is seamless, and I appreciated the transparency in profiles and reviews, which made me feel confident in my decision. The entire process, from posting my job to finalizing the booking, was smooth and efficient.

However, the one drawback I encountered was the CitizenShipper company fee. In addition to paying the transport company directly, I was required to pay an extra $189 fee to CitizenShipper, which is calculated based on the distance of the transport. While I understand the need for a service fee to maintain the platform and ensure quality, this amount felt quite steep, especially on top of the transport costs. I believe a standard fee in the range of $99 to $125 would be much more reasonable and accessible for all users, regardless of the distance involved.

Despite this, I would still recommend CitizenShipper for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to find pet transport services. The convenience, speed, and variety of options make it a valuable resource, and with a more standardized fee structure, it would be even better.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear that you had a positive experience with CitizenShipper and that the platform’s ease of use, quick response time, and wide range of drivers helped you find the right match for your pet’s journey.
We understand your concerns regarding the booking fee. This fee helps us maintain a secure and reliable platform and also supports key protections, including our Booking Assurance Guarantee, which provides assistance in the rare event that a driver cancels or an unexpected issue arises. It also includes our Pet Protection Plan, which provides coverage for certain veterinary care, medical, or similar expenses incurred during transportation.
That said, we understand that cost plays an important role in the decision-making process. Your comments about a more standardized fee structure are appreciated. Our team regularly evaluates customer insights like yours as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the platform and enhance the experience for all users, and we’ll be sure to pass them along.
Thank you again for choosing CitizenShipper and for recommending us to others. We wish you and your pet all the best on your future adventures together.-Karla

More than what I hoped for.

My drivers were kind ,friendly and professional.they showed great care for my dog .I like the company's bid approach. I wasn't stuck paying an expensive price I got to choose the best price that I could afford and what I got in return,was more than I could have hoped for.

I love the potential of this platform

I love the potential of this platform, but the use is a little inconvenient.

It isn't designed in such a way to allow you to star quotes, so that they appear on top of your chats, and there is no option to arrange quotes by ratings, popularity, price, etc.

The initial process can be overwhelming, being messaged by so many vendors, and there should be a way to filter out ones that are relevant by features as well, such as solo ride or crate free ride etc.

Customer suppport shoulde be a chat feature within the platform, and like any booking platform it should enable to pay the full amount via the website, as well as show the booking fee in advance

Wonderful site for pet courier services

We had a fantastic experience with this animal courier service! From start to finish, the communication was clear, friendly, and professional. They were incredibly caring and attentive, making sure our pet was safe and comfortable the entire journey. You can tell they truly love animals and take pride in what they do. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate animal transport

Amanda’s Road Trips and Fuzzy Flights

Amanda’s Road Trios and Fuzzy Flights. I so glad I chose this company to provide transportation services for our Cane Corso Simba. Amanda was professional, experienced, affordable and compassionate. I would highly recommend her company. She provided GPS status updates and pictures. Simba arrived happy, safe and well! Thanks Amanda!

CitizenShipper was amazing

CitizenShipper was great! I posted my trip and got many bids from different transporters. The transporters responded quickly and I was able to negotiate the price as well. I was extremely satisfied with the transporter I ended up choosing. He was responsive and kept me posted throughout the trip.
