Moving Day

I take care of your pets while you handle the move

I take care of your pets while you handle the move

Moving day is chaotic enough without worrying about your pets. I collect them before the removers arrive, keep them calm and comfortable throughout, and deliver them to your new home when you're ready — so the hardest part of the day isn't on your list.

Price and Journey Details


Every pet journey is tailored to your specific route, timings, and support needs, so quotes are personalised rather than one-size-fits-all.


Your initial quote is automatically generated and delivered directly to your email based on the journey details you submit, helping you receive pricing quickly without waiting days for a response.


If your pets have specific behavioural, medical, or logistical requirements, we can then tailor the journey and support around you.


Standard Pet Transport


Most standard UK pet transport journeys fall between £250–£600 depending on:


  • Distance and route

  • Number of pets travelling

  • Collection and drop-off locations

  • Ferry crossings or third-party travel requirements

  • Specialist handling or larger breeds where additional space may be needed


Unlike shared pet courier services, pets travel either individually or with other animals from the same household, helping provide a calmer, more controlled journey environment.


This is particularly beneficial for:


  • Nervous or elderly pets

  • Multi-pet households

  • Cats requiring quieter transport conditions

  • Pets unused to travelling

  • Owners wanting dedicated, household-only transport


We charge per journey rather than per pet for most bookings, and your initial quote includes up to three pets from the same household travelling together.


If you have more than three pets, we may need to adjust the journey setup depending on the animals involved, and we’ll always confirm any changes with you before booking.


Moving-Day Relocation Support


For clients moving home, we also offer premium relocation support services designed to reduce stress for both pets and owners during busy moving days.


Typical relocation support services range from £450–£900+ depending on:


  • Time required during the move

  • Waiting time or key handover delays

  • Multiple pets needing supervision throughout the day

  • Exercise, comfort breaks, and flexible scheduling

  • Additional support before or after removals


This service is particularly suited to local, short, and medium-distance moves where pets may benefit from calm supervision away from removals activity and household disruption.


For longer-distance relocations, the journey itself often naturally covers much of the moving-day timeline, meaning standard transport is often the most practical option.


Whether you simply need safe, professional transport from A to B, or additional support during a busy moving day, every journey is planned around keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and appropriately supported throughout.


No obligation to book, and no pressure to proceed.
