Relocating with a pet is a major undertaking, and not every journey is best handled by air alone. For many pet parents, ground pet transport offers the safest, most flexible, and most comfortable option for moving their furry companions across the USA and Canada.

At WorldCare Pet Transport, we understand that your pets are family, and we take every step to ensure they travel with the highest level of safety, care, and attention.

Why Choose Ground Pet Transport?

Ground transportation is often preferred by pet parents who want:

  • Door-to-door service – Pets are picked up from your home and delivered directly to their new destination.
  • Safety for sensitive breeds – Brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breeds, senior pets, or those with health conditions often travel better on the road.
  • Flexible scheduling – Road routes allow for more personalized timing, frequent stops, and hands-on care.

How Ground Pet Transport Works

With professional pet relocation experts, ground transport is more than just a road trip. It involves:

  • Climate-controlled vehicles to keep pets safe and comfortable in any season.
  • Frequent rest stops for exercise, feeding, and hydration.
  • Secure travel kennels sized to international standards.
  • Continuous monitoring so pets are supervised throughout their journey.
  • Customized routing for both cross-country moves and shorter regional relocations.
  • Experienced drivers vetted by professional pet relocation companies.

  • Customized care plans for pets with special requirements

Why Pet Parents Choose Us for Pet Ground Transport

In our 25+ years in the pet travel industry, we have provided ground transport for hundreds of pets. Here are just a few reviews from families we’ve helped:

“This was the first time our cats have traveled without being with us. Of course, we had our initial concerns, but WorldCare Pet Transport put those all to rest very quickly. Being able to relate with fellow pet parents helped so much, you had just as much concern for our cats and empathy for us as first timers in this process. Communication was amazing, both before and after travel. We were given regular updates along the entire 8hour drive our cats were on. We had all the documentation needed to get them across the borders without any issue. Honestly, would recommend this service to anyone. Truly made our move so much easier. I cannot say enough good things or thank you enough for everything. Our cats are now so happy in their new home.”
