Do not use this service. We did and our dog died after suffering heatstroke due to TJ aka Tiara Royal or Tiara Alsaid negligence. She took 5 days to do a 2 day job and only kept in touch the first 2 days then disappeared until day 5. The photo is the screenshot is an old photo from the second day she had him. She sent it to me twice saying it was a diff photo of Scooby when it was infact just a duplicate. On day 5 She had us meet her at a nearby McDonald's where she left our dogs crate on the ground. He was dead, cold and decaying! She claimed he choked on something 30 min prior and she did cpr.Our vet said he'd been deceased for at least 2 days. Stay away from this company. Come to find out she is not authorized to transport, has outstanding warrants from TX and was using some other members account who she's aquatinted with to obtain jobs. This has been a nightmare. See screenshot below. That is her and her U-Haul as well as our convo on the last day.
Love this team. Very helpful & efficient. We had no issues for our pet transport & driver communicated excellent for the entire trip. % satisfied ~thank you!
Wow, what a breath of fresh air, a one stop shop, no more hunting, millions of calls, back and forth calls or waiting. This lists with a few easy clicks, (no joke!), immediate replies with quotes to your needs, you can reply, post pictures, be very accurate, research each business and read real reviews on each. They will have disallow with you, you can talk with a nanny via the app, (no need to give out your phone or email till you decide to choose one), then only to stay in touch with transporter and then only if you want. (As I was moving, it was just easier to stay in touch with cat courier),
But what ever you decide, you can see all your options both on your computer or by phone on their app. Get updated via email or text that there's a new option. Filigree favorites or de- select so that your focusing, making it easier to wittle down the choices. I'll only be using this in the future and have already toils several others including a moving company who needed this solution about this amazing option.
Just try it and see.
There's a few too use it, but it's reasonable. I was on a tight budget, but the headaches they saved Made it worth it
I needed to ship a kitten across the country, I posted my job and got offers with a wide variety of price ranges. I was able to find a shipper in my budget, that I trusted, and she got my kitten to his new home safe and happy! Great experience.
It was a great experience. I chose the ADL bid on a Friday and received my bike the next Wednesday. Communication was excellent.
This company does not cover damages IT causes. Instead of waiting for the transporter to deliver her animals, or procuring another driver to complete her route, it fired her
MID ROUTE (with animals on board) before she could even get to my cat. Then CitizenShipper told me to go on their site and pay yet ANOTHER driver with no guaranty it won't cancel that driver as well. They do not cover ANY costs that IT causes. My cat is still awaiting pickup! I can't afford to play this game. Bad
Dear Pamela, I'm so sorry to hear that your experience with CitizenShipper was frustrating and resulted in the delay of your pet's transportation. We take this situation very seriously and understand the importance of ensuring the safety and comfort of all pets in our care.
I understand that the cancellation of your previous driver mid-route was unexpected and caused inconvenience for you. I apologize for the lack of coverage for any costs that resulted from this situation. Our goal is to provide a reliable and stress-free transportation experience, and it's clear that we fell short in this instance.
I would like to assure you that we are taking steps to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. We value your feedback and will use it to continuously improve our services.
Please reach out to [email protected] if I can assist in any way or if you would like to discuss this situation further. We are here to help and make things right for you and your pet.
I'm so glad this exists. It opens up the possibility of getting a best in a different location, thus a lot more options. The shippers I've used have all been wonderful!
Basically, you detail your shipping locations and pet, and you'll receive quotes and messages from potential shippers. You can vet them via their reviews, and discuss the quotes/timing with them in the messages. If you're flexible, they can and often do adjust the quote.
After you book someone, you can discuss how their payment will work. Some shippers will take PayPal, Venmo, etc, while some may want alternative means. You can discuss this with them before booking too, of course. I chose to pay 1/2 up front, and the other half once delivered.
There's a fee to use the service - just a heads up, so maybe use that as leverage to get a better quote? Haha.
I'll definitely use CitizenShipper again in the future, and would recommend it to anyone needing transport for their doggo.
CitizenShipper was absolutely phenomenal! I found them through Google and boy howdy am I glad I did! I was looking for someone to transport my brother's dog to him where he is stationed from our home 1,400 miles away. Their website was very user friendly. It was seamless to post my request and I located someone to help transport my dog within the hour. I am so pleased I went through CitizenShipper as their website is so easy to use and their platform makes it easy to navigate. I received multiple quotes within 20 minutes of posting that I needed help transporting my dog across 1,400 miles. It was very easy to communicate with multiple shippers about transporting my dog. The messaging platform is easy to use and the bids that come in are very easy to see and compare with one another. They also offer the ability to bookmark the quotes, so I was able to bookmark the quotes that were the cheapest and the ones I wanted to reach out to. I highly recommend CitizenShipper to anyone looking for these services. I have included a photo with this review so you can see what it looks like when quotes come into your inbox - Very easy and seamless to use!
Was a grate service first time using and will fir sure use again person was so helpful and understanding and took care of all my needs with my dog
Very satisfied with their service. Database very easy to navigate & most important 4 kitties brought to Florida safe & sound!
We used this website to find a shipper for our 8 week old pup. What I really liked is we had multiple offers/options to have pur puppy safely shipped to us. Our first driver had to back out due to a family emergency so we had to re list a search for a driver on a shorter notice and where still able to find someone to pick up and deliver on the dates we wanted. And the person we went with was very professional and delivered us our pup safely to us with no issues.
I loved the response I got from this website. I had 13 responses and there was a variety of companies that offered individual services or group rides. There was a wide range of prices also. Would definitely recommend this website service.
Travers Family Transport is affordable, friendly, reliable, and I recommend them hands down to transport your fur babies.
My dealings with CitizenShipper was first rate. After I inputted my Pet Transport request I immediately received 40+ requests from Pet Transport Drivers... On-line interaction with both CitizenShipper and potential Transport Drivers was A+. I have finished my booking of a Transport Driver for the safe transportation of my pet for her 2800 mile journey...
Instead of paying to fly and dealing with tempatures, Citizen Shipper was cheaper and we had the dog in the exact day and time that we wanted
Great site, helped us get our dog back home from Texas, great job matching us up with someone that could get our Hondo home. Site made it all very painless and gave LOTS of helpful information.
I used CitizenShipper to transport my cats several states away. Everything went smoothly and was pretty easy. I would definitely use them again.
Amanda was very professional and efficient. She kept informed her route information including photos of our cat along the way.
If I could give zero stars I would! The drivers service and this company seemed to be so legit but turned out to be a scam! Jason's communication was lacking, once the money was sent nothing! I let him know once I sent it and he didn't respond or answer my phone calls! And then hit me with excuses about family emergencies but still never returned my call or money. He scammed me out of over $500. Worst experience every please do not book with these people or this site! And they will not refund my booking fee after they claim to do background checks on these drivers they really allow anyone with a license to sign up. It just makes me feel like you will be scammed out of money and your pet!
Dear Gabrielle, I am truly sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you had with CitizenShipper and the driver, Jason. We take all feedback very seriously and I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the lack of communication and response from Jason.
At CitizenShipper, our priority is to provide a safe and reliable transport service for our customers and their beloved pets. I understand the frustration and disappointment you feel and I assure you that this situation does not reflect the standard of service that we aim to provide.
We have strict policies in place for our drivers, including background checks, ID verification and a driver-matching service to provide the best possible experience for our customers. However, it seems that in this instance, we fell short and I deeply regret that.

Thank you again for your feedback and I hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with the service that you deserve.
Best regards,

I was looking for a transportation for my pet from Orlando, FL to Monroe, NY, and I found it there!
Thank you so much for getting my dog back to home!
Answer: Teresa, thank you for your question! As a shipping customer, besides the payment for the quote provided by the driver using our website, you are due a small booking fee which depends and fluctuates based on the bid. To learn more about how fees work, please visit out help center article -https://citizenshipper.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202363429-How-much-does-it-cost-to-use-CitizenShipper-
Answer: The driver directly you just pay the booking fee to the site when you accept the bid.
Answer: You should be able to google them and find reviews, meanwhile when you click on their business information it tells you if they are certified and verified that is all you really need and then there are reviews posted their along with their star rating and how many transports they have completed.
Answer: Hi Derri, if that company is listed on our site and has done deliveries, they may have reviews from previous customers.
Answer: Hi Elizabeth, we sure can transport birds. Just go to www.citizenshipper.com and list your posting with the location, the type of bird, and the dates you need to transport. You will then receive bids from drivers and can communicate with any of them until you find the one you want.
Answer: My booking fee was US$79 and did not get my US$25 rebate as promised in an email from CitizenShippers. Booking fee far to high
