Keep your kitty comfy from home to home.
Moving your cat by ground is delicate and time consuming.
Cats are sensitive travelers - unfamiliar smells, loud noises, and long drives can create major stress. Most transport options group pets, make frequent stops, and offer little comfort. You need a calm, private ride with transporters who understand feline behavior and safety from pickup to drop off.
Door-to-Door Solo Transport
5 Star Pet Relocation Services offers a private, door-to-door transport designed specifically for cats. Your feline travels alone in a clean, climate-controlled vehicle with a calm, experienced, and fully insured transporter who understands cat behavior. We follow your cat’s feeding and care routine, provide cozy bedding and constant access to water, and make quiet, low-stress stops for litter or stretch breaks. Throughout the trip, you receive text and photo updates several throughout the day. Every vehicle is smoke-free, sanitized before departure, and operated by background-checked drivers. As a registered Class T - Carrier under the Animal Welfare Act (Cert no. 14-T-0141) and fully insured transportation service, we ensure your cat’s relocation is safe, comfortable, and completely stress-free from start to finish.

Posted on Google Barry ChandlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Risa and 5 Star Pet Relocation are wonderful with our pets and with us. They are very accommodating, always in communication with us during pet transport, and reasonably priced. We have used them for our pets for the past 5 years, and highly recommend them to everyone.Posted on Google Chris GaytonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used 5 star Pet Relocation for about 4 years and have been very happy and very impressed. They are professional and very kind and gentle with our dogs. Their love of animals shows and that’s is why we continue to use them.Posted on Google Don McLaganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We trusted our beloved dog and our expensive car to 5-Star and they delivered five star service for us .Posted on Google CSBTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used 5 Star Pet for multiple trips to and from Florida. We were very nervous on our first trip because we were entrusting them with our beloved dog. However that quickly dissipated when they sent photos from the first rest stop and every step along the way. Our dog now LOVES Matt our driver and is thrilled to see him. They are terrific with coordinating with our flights. We feel so very lucky to have found these caring individuals. (Thanks to our daughter who was afraid we would not come north again due to the drive).Posted on Google Jill LauhoffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience. The transport process was seamless and we were given updates every step of the way. It was evident that they truly care about the health and safety of the animals they are transporting and my puppy was delivered right to my door and in to my arms. I would recommend this service to anyone that is adopting a pet from out of state!Posted on Google Jasmine Amy RogersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family has used 5 Star Pet multiple times now to transport my dog, Martha, across the US, and every time has been a true breeze! Risa is running an incredible business. She makes sure your pet is happy, healthy, safe, and loved the entire trip. They will always be my first choice. The photo updates are my favorite!Posted on Google Julia AldrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great communication and great service!Posted on Google Elissa RothschildTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used this family-owned service for a few years now. I have had two different dogs during this time and they both couldn’t have been better taken care of. This last trip, my dog went to go back with them when they were leaving after drop off! You get updates with pictures during their trip, which is a nice comforting touch. Risa and company are very easy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.Posted on Google Sue LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 star is the best pet and car transport company I have found to put my mind completely at ease with my precious cargo. Risa treated my two big labs , Lucy and Buddy like family . She gave special attention to Lucy my 12 year old who is moving more slowly these days . From planning all the details for the long haul from Florida to cape cod to picture updates, to a smooth drop off , I couldn’t have asked for more . Risa is kind, professional and so organized with back up plans for any challenge that might come up on the road . Lucy and Buddy had so much fun on their adventure and such good care they didn’t want to get out of the car . This is the second time I have had an outstanding experience with 5 star and Risa , I plan to book with them again for the fall return to Florida. Thank you Risa and 5 star .Posted on Google Amanda MahoneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I use 5 Star to transport my dog from Massachusetts to Florida. They are always on time and very accurate in their communication. I've been so happy and feel very safe with Risa and her other drivers transporting my dog and my car. You can be calm knowing that your pet will be safe and happy! I love the pictures that Risa will send at different stops along the journey.
