I am a USDA certified carrier. I prefer to do single rides only unless the babies come from the same household. Or if they are different species as they don’t transfer sickness. We also like to do free roam with the babies, we feel crating the babies for long distances causes anxiety. We will crate if you specifically request it however our preference is cuddles over crates. We are a boyfriend girlfriend team, and occasionally my son rides along if we could use the extra help. So we can keep travel times to a minimum however if there are safety issues we will take a little bit longer (weather, anxiety, car sickness, or if the baby isn’t taking to travel to well) we will stop in a fur-baby friendly hotel. Your furry family members safety and comfort are our number one priority.

Welcome to a place where pets are family. 🐾💛 We’re FurDeLis Pet Transport — a family-run, USDA-registered and insured pet transportation service proudly delivering pets nationwide since 2019. I’m Madigan Willis, part owner and scheduler, handling communication and logistics so our drivers can stay focused on the road and your pets. I am also a Texas VIP Specialist, offering solo and small-group transports for pets who need extra calm, comfort, or individualized attention. Jeff Polmanteer, my father. Who is part owner and our seasoned cross-country driver, spends 25–30 days a month traveling coast to coast and has been transporting pets full-time for seven years.

From goldfish to Golden Retrievers, cats, seniors, rescues, K9 working dogs, show dogs, anxious or shy pets, giant breeds, and special-needs companions — each one receives gentle handling, patience, and genuine love. Pets stay with the driver in pet-friendly hotels, or if resting at a travel center, they remain comfortably inside the climate-controlled van along with the driver, as our van is retrofitted with a bed. We clean kennels regularly, refresh water throughout the day, and provide plenty of potty breaks and stretch breaks. 🐱❤️🦮 Communication is a core part of our service.

We are Christa Vealey and Vicki Keene, dog moms and professional pet transporters based in Jacksonville, NC. Our goal is simple: provide safe, reliable, and stress-free transportation for your pets. Christa is CPR and First Aid certified, and every pet receives personalized attention, constant supervision, and compassionate care throughout their journey. We specialize in small, personalized transports, typically accommodating up to 2 pets per household and no more than two households per route; this is dependent upon the age and size of the pets. We never outsource transports—you will work directly with Christa and Vicki from pickup to delivery. For the safety of all animals, we require current vaccination records and any necessary paperwork for interstate travel. Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old, and their paws will never touch the ground during transport. We use transport-certified crates and never stack crates under any circumstances. Personal crates are not permitted for safety reasons. Crates are sanitized at every four-hour stop, fresh water is available at all times, and feeding schedules are maintained as needed. We limit driving shifts to between 12 and 14 hours for the well-being of the pets in our care, so overnight stops may be necessary on longer routes. To keep you informed, we provide Life360 live route tracking, group chats, regular updates, and photos. Vicki typically manages communication during transport, and both of our phones are always available with ringers on for owners, breeders, and recipients. Each pet may travel with one medium-sized bag containing paperwork, toys, bedding, and other essentials. **Pricing & Payment** * 50% deposit required to reserve a spot; remaining balance due at drop off. * We currently accept Zelle and Venmo. * Pricing is based on mileage, route length, pickup/drop-off locations, and the number of pets on the route. * No hidden fees—ever. Thank you for considering us and trusting us with your pets. We look forward to helping your furry family members travel safely and comfortably!

A lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I started haulin' puppies over six years ago, and have completed well over 300 ground & air shipments during that time. Always a bit of a pioneer, my first career was as a Feldenkrais Practitioner, working with movement. I'm something of a dog whisperer, and have considerable cat skills as well! I’m a seasoned World & Cross-Country Traveler, and a super-organized, expert packer. While I hate to toot my own horn, I'll admit to being an exceedingly capable, resourceful, patient, high energy, mission-driven, think-on-her-feet person, one who gravitates towards immersive experiences such as marathons, rail & road trips, all of which comes in handy when transporting live animals! As a lifestyle entrepreneur, I built a Shopify store for those whom, like myself, live on the road, during which time I supported myself with various gigs. Prior to moving into Precious Cargo, I got my feet wet providing last-mile delivery. I have 5-Star ratings as Lyft Driver, Deliv Specialist, Roadie Friendshipper, and am a 13-Time Airbnb Superhost & Ambassador. I'm Certified for Passenger Assistance Safety & Sensitivity as well. I’d love to be your pet’s Journey Mom, safely, lovingly tending to and delivering your furry friend to their destination. I aim to provide an enjoyable, trauma-free, and deeply bonding experience, keeping you in the loop with reassuring 'pupdates' all along our journey!

Inspired by my life with Tigger, a handsome Chocolate Lab who was my loyal friend and companion for 16 years, I’ve spent my life helping animals and spreading hope. Tigger and I crossed the country together three times, and along the way, I saw firsthand how loving care, a sense of fun, and time spent outdoors can transform an animal’s quality of life. Those cross-country trips gave me a chance to do more than travel — over the years, I helped transport dogs facing euthanasia from California shelters to rescues in Las Vegas, giving them a second chance at the life they deserved. That work stayed with me, and it’s part of why I do what I do today. Along with this, I’ve spent the past decade running my own pet service business and doing animal search and rescue, which means I know how to read an animal’s stress signals, keep them calm, and keep them secure — no matter the situation. I specialize in working with dogs who have high anxiety/ptsd, and I bring years of hands-on experience safely transporting animals, with a deep focus on making sure every pet stays secure and never gets loose along the way. Now based in the Ojai Valley, I’m ready to transport your pet across the country with the calm, safe, and loving care they deserve.

What Should I Look for in a Pet Transporter?

Price matters, but it shouldn’t be the only consideration when choosing someone to transport your pet. Here’s what to weigh when comparing transporters.

Background verification

Every transporter on CritterRoute completes a background check as part of our verification process.

Driver’s license verification

Check whether the transporter’s driver’s license has been verified on their profile.

Relevant transport experience

Look for experience with your pet’s type, breed, size, or any special needs.

Reviews and reputation

Read reviews from other pet owners about their experience with the transporter.

Additional credentials, when applicable

Some transporters carry insurance or USDA-APHIS registration. These are optional and depend on the transporter’s services — not every transporter is required to have them.

A transportation plan that fits your pet

Ground or air travel, climate control, crate type, and comfort stops that match your pet’s needs.

Clear communication before you agree

Responsive, transparent communication before the trip is a good sign of a reliable transporter.
