I need to update my review on Chloe. She brought my 8 wk old Maltese puppy, Bentley, from Houston to Myrtle Beach, SC. Not only did Chloe take extra precautions regarding his health because he was so young. She also worked on me in the price. I was previously scammed by an unscrupulous (supposedly) breeder who not only took all of my money and didn't deliver the puppy and they also stole my identity. She worked with me on my budget. Not only was she in Houston for another transport, she made sure she picked him up the same day that I booked her. She treated him like he was also her own furkid. She drove straight through dealing with some pretty bad weather. She stayed in touch with me during the whole transport, arrived when promised. Chloe put me and my friend that bought him for me at ease. My friend said, she's an Angel. I didn't worry one bit and neither did my friend. After being scammed out of close to $2000. I would normally be leery of anyone who promised me the Moon but stole from me. I did not have one single doubt about her. There are not enough good things I can say about Chloe!
I was ripped off for $450.00 by a highly rated driver that they recommended to me. They stated that the driver had 50 trips and 5 stars. The driver ghosted me, did not show up on the date promised and kept my 450.00 deposit. When contacted, Citizenshipper took no responsibility and said I was on my own. Be very careful who you select because this company WILL NOT stand behind their drivers. It also became known after this happened that this driver was doing this to other people and Citizenshipper DID NOT notify or warn me.
This company is quick, secure, responsive and guaranteed. I had multiple offers to transport my Dog safely across 1500 miles within minutes of signing up. Our experience was amazing our driver was patient and flexible. If you need something transported I would look no further.
Tip for consumers:
Check all offer you get.

Transported pet 1500 miles
Every time I have used citizenshipper to transport pets, I have been absolutely thrilled. It is so wonderful to know that a loving caring human being is taking care of your beloved furry friend. M&M Courier made an 8 o'clock delivery this morning. Not only did I get my adorable puppy Yeti, but I got a birthday balloon and card! They go above and beyond! And I truly appreciate it! You will too!

The booking process was easy and straightforward. The bids were competitive. The courier who took my order was communicative and professional. All around a good experience. The online platform allows for bids to be compatible while assuring that drivers and companies are reputable and safe. Reviews are available and background check information as well. The site has additional articles and such for people who maybe are booking services for the first time and don't know standards, etc. it makes a pretty intimidating process feel approachable and personal. I didn't experience any problems but I'm sure they would have been handled well.
I found Citizen Shipper online while looking for a qualified candidate to transport my puppy to me. It was quick and convenient to use. Within minutes of putting in the details needed, I received bids from several qualified candidates. We choose Safety Pet Travels. Everything from there was smooth sailing.
Such an awesome company! Can't recommend it more for people looking to have their pet transported. So many options and such flexibility that you can always choose what fits your schedule and budget. Great people!

Transport of pet
We use citizenship or to plan the transport of our puppy from Florida to Rhode Island. The site was very easy to use and quick responses by the services to meet our needs. It provided us with a wide variety of choices price ranges and overall comfort level to know that they had vetted each one of these companies independently. If you are in need of shipping anything this is the site I would recommend
Using Citizen Shipper allowed me to find a trustworthy driver for shipping my new puppy from Wisconsin to Ohio. I received 8 messages from pet couriers immediately after posting my request- this allowed me to read reviews and choose the one that best fit our situation. The driver I chose was professional, courteous, and aware of pets' needs while on a long drive. I would definitely use this site again :)
I was very apprehensive about having my puppy shipped out to me. I did not know if I was going to be able to find someone that would be reliable and trustworthy. Luckily for me, I found just that on citizenshipper! I posted what time I needed for the transport, and within minutes I received multiple offers! The site shows all the past transports a particular person or company has mad as well as all their credentials. This makes it easier to make a decision on who to choose to make your transport. Will definitely use citizenshipper again when needing a transport!
Used Painted Mermaid to help our needs to get a new puppy to our little girl. Lindsey went above and beyond with many treats and picture updates all along the way! Would reconnect her every time!
Thanks!

I used Citizenshipper to get my puppy from Michigan to Arizona and was totally happy with the experience. The platform helped me find a transporter and way to connect with them to get our boy home. We had no issues at all (which blew me away) I figured there would be some little hiccups along the way… but was pleasantly surprised! Highly recommend
Such a convenient site to use when in need to transport your pet(s). Reliable people, I was able to book, and pay through the website and communicate with the transporter all un 1 spot. Definitely will use again if needed.
I loved how easy CitizenShipper was to use. I was very apprehensive about trusting anyone with our family pets in the first place... let alone to travel halfway across our nation! I received several bids, I was able to visit with the people so I could feel comfortable with the arrangements and know what they offer. It was a wonderful experience! My Dad is in a care facility in Washington. His reunion with his old dog is a memory I will always cherish.
Tip for consumers:
Extremely wonderful to be able to have so many bids to choose from!

Dog Gone It pet transports
I was able to get a good deal on shipping some furniture in a relatively short time. The transporter showed up in a clean moving box truck, my items were well protected and they were very prompt and professional.
I was looking for a way to transport a dog to its new forever home 700 miles away. Someone told me about citizenshipper and it was very simple to use. I like how you can post what you are looking to ship and the shippers send you messages and quotes to your inbox. I did not feel rushed when making a decision and I was able to take my time and go through and read reviews on drivers and make the right decision.
When I read about how it works to ship your dog on an airplane, I realized this would be terrible for our pet, but I was unfamiliar with the alternatives. A search on the web led me to citizenshipper and once I submitted the specifics of our need, not only was I referred to a number of potential carriers (about six), but I was able to correspond which each of them to determine who could serve us best for the appropriate cost. The site also had helpful articles and videos about how to prepare our dog and how to make the choice that is best for you and your dog. We live on a rural farm, and so it was great to discover that there was good and competitive service for us with very trusted and pleasant folks.

I used citizenshipper before an have not been disappointed Both times has been smooth sailing. Jeremy at All Paws headed home is a very well mannered gentleman an felt my 2 new girls were in safe hands!
Steve Benton did a great job escorting my dog over 1200 miles. He sent numerous forms of social media throughout the trip and delivered a little early even! You can trust this man with your beloved fuzzy buddies!
Barbara was absolutely wonderful. She took my sweet little boy Onyx (65 lb Black Lab lol) quite a long distance and kept me updated on their trip through texts and pics. Onyx looked happy and comfy and clearly enjoyed his adventure to our new home! I would definitely recommend Barbara for anyone wanting their pet to be treated like more than just cargo!
Love Citizenshipper! They do a fantastic job in weeding out great trustworthy drivers for your precious cargo. I have recommended them several times already. It's a very fast and efficient process. Thanks again!
Citizenshipper help me connect with a person to bring my dog from Montana to Texas. I was super nervous but everyone was amazing. Never would have gotten her here if not for this site. Highly recommended.
It was a fantastic experience from booking, pick up and delivery. Received many quotes immediately, was able to make an informed decision with the bidders information, reviews. I definitely will use this company again if needed

I had my 41 lb basset hound picked up in Sorrento, Florida and dropped off in Fruita, Colorado.
What a great service! I simply post what I need shipped and within moments I have bids! I was able to have durable medical equipment that was cost prohibitive to ship via all the usual: UPS, FEDEX etc, shipped at an affordable price.
My experience was top notch. Chris, my "citizen shipper," was a dream to work with and everything went super smooth. As a retired military family with numerous moves under out belts, we are fully versed in moving household goods. This could not have gone better! I was able to track my shipment real time which was a really nice feature.
I am so glad I found Citizen Shipper! Saved me $$$ and headaches. Thanks!
Tip for consumers:
There is a fee, over and above, what you negotiate with your driver....which is fine....just keep that in mind when you go through your bids..... if you are on a strict budget. My total price was still lower than what I could get elsewhere.

We used John M to move my two dogs from Rhode Island and he was great! The website makes everything easier and even background checks on the movers so you dont have to worry. I would totally use this again.
Worked out flawlessly. Would use again. The transport company treated our puppy as if she was their own. Constant updates and contact in a safe manor. Trip was direct and fast and affordable. Thank you so much for this service.
We used CitizenShipper to transport our two dogs 1800 miles across the country. The site allowed us to input our info, timeframe, special needs, and then we received more than a dozen offers from multiple parties. All transporters had been vetted and background checked and the review process on each transporter helped make a more informed choice on provider. The site also works with a chat function similar to What'sApp that lets you easily communicate with potential providers quickly without having to use an existing phone plan or chat app.
The site is useful for both transportation of pets (any kind/size) and goods.
