We are so impressed with Starwood a d their great care of our fur baby on her trop over seas. They worked with our own Vet to get necessary vaccinations and the correct paperwork completed. Ryan was very quick with responses during the whole process! From handing Lucy over to Quinn for the start of her trip to having her brought to us in Bangkok everything went off without a hitch! I cant thank them enough and if we need to relocate again it will be Starwood that we call! I am totally confident it will be the same phenomal experience!

We couldn't have had a better experience moving our two cats from the USA to England.
The initial thought of everything you have to do is extremely overwhelming and anxiety inducing, especially if you haven't done it before. But Starwood made the process effortless for my family. From the initial quote to the cats being picked up at Heathrow, Starwood were phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable.
Rosemary Cann was our Pet Travel Coordinator and she was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. She relieved us of all stress and handled things majestically. Our vets back in the US commented how great she had been during the back and forth with them setting up paperwork and the health certificates. Everything we were anxious about dissolved immediately when we started working with her.
When the big day came for them to be picked up, it all went smoothly. Someone came to the house, went over everything, and then we got regular updates as they made their way to the airport and then through check in. Once in the air we knew there were good and then when they were unloaded we continued to get regular updates right up until I collected them.
I would highly recommend Starwood Pet Travel if you are looking to move and transport your pets. We don't have any plans to do a big move again, but if we ever did, we'd be straight back in touch with Starwood and would request Rosemary
EXCELLENT!!

Thank you for getting our pets safely to their new home in Scotland!
Starwood was great to work with, from communication with the vets, to fixing a last minute issue with a crate, we were very pleased and thankful for the professionalism.
Our dogs and cats flew from Atlanta to Edinburgh with a stopover in Frankfurt for context, we always trusted they were in good hands with people who would care for them.

Starwood was absolutely fantastic! I was living in America for four years with my cats and decided to move home to Ireland with my two beautiful cats, Minnow & Espeon. My pet coordinator Cassidy was remarkable, organised every detail for me and my two pets. Handing them off in Chiacago I was so nervous; there even was an issue with the crates but Starwood saved the day so my pets didn’t miss their flight! The team was so easy to reach and helpful. Picking up in Dublin was very slick with no issues. Best of all I was updated on my pets’ whereabouts and conditions the whole way through with messages and pictures. We are all one big happy family again. I would recommend Starwood to anyone wanting to travel with their animals, especially international travel. I could not have done it without the team.

Starwood helped us get our golden retriever to us from PA to Germany! With this being our first international flight with a dog they helped us each step of the way. They made sure we had the correct size kennel and confirmed all of the documents that he would need to enter the country. We cannot thank them enough for their help. They answered all of our questions, whether big or small. They were great at communicating, even with a big time difference. We would refer them to anyone who needs help with their pet. Even our vet was impressed with how they communicated with them.

We recently moved from Seattle to Portugal. With the cost of moving, we were concerned about the cost of moving our two dogs and one cat over. More stressful was the thought of them traveling. I decided that the cost and peace of mind that everything was in order and the animals were in the best hands was worth every penny. I was not wrong. The week we left was very stressful but I never worried about my animals. Everything was ready and scheduled and I didn’t have to do any of it. Everyone on the team from start to finish was thorough with great communication so nothing was missed. From pickup to drop off everyone displayed caring for the animals and patience and understanding for the owners! I would highly recommend Starwood. They are the best.

This is the second time when I worked with Starwood and Ryan to move my dogs. First time was from the mainland to Hawaii and this time from Hawaii to the mainland, both pretty significant moves. I have a small dog and an extra large dog and that was not a small endeavor to say the least!!! Ryan had patiently and tenaciously worked on coordinating every single detail, including a constant changing date related to my work schedule. Ryan has listened to all my concerns regarding the travel arrangements and accommodated everything superbly!! I could have not been more pleased with my experience with Ryan and it felt so good to have the same person handle their move again! Very happy!! As well as my doggies!!!

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Ryan Bole and the team from Starwood Pet Travel. We reached out to them panicked, when another company we had been dealing with stopped communicating quite suddenly, a month before we were supposed to relocate our labradoodle from NYC to the UAE. Starwood responded quickly and were able to help under very short notice. Their portal and personalized service was extremely helpful, and they went so far as to coordinate directly with vets to gather any missing documents. Their well organized process, and pet tracking through their app made me feel confident throughout his entire journey that he was in good hands. The team they coordinated with on the UAE side were equally as organized, giving me updates every step of the way. I would highly recommend their services for pet relocation!

Navigating the transfer of an animal to Australia is extremely difficult and i'm not sure i could have done it without Sage from Starwood's help. It requires months, many forms and multiple vet visits and each piece has to fall in place perfectly.
My cat went to the ER for 3 days after being evacuated in 2020, and as a former feral, is not used to change. I was extremely anxious about the whole process and how he would survive quarantine. But each step proceeded one in front of the other, and now he's here, with no blips in the process!
I'm very very thankful to Sage for putting up with my anxiety and my loads of questions to get Smokey and I through this!

Our coordinator, Rosemary, has been so sweet and helpful throughout the entire journey! Peggy and Steve traveled from the US to the UK. Starwood worked with my vet on the health certificates (made it much less stressful) and when there were hiccups during planning, Rosemary handled them. I was so nervous sending my cats away, but I knew they were in good hands. I was also reassured during their journey when I would get updates on their plane take-off/landing and update photos. I would definitely recommend Starwood for international travel. My cats are happy and healthy, which is all I was hoping for!

My husband Sean & I made a last minute decision to move to the UK from the US to be near his family, we had only two weeks to move ourselves & we barely managed that. We couldn’t imagine add our beloved cats to that mess as well & we knew it just couldn’t be done. There was way too much that went into it. My husband found Starwood & spoke to Paul for our initial call & he answered all of Seans questions. He was very kind & immediately after we were so confident in them we hired them right away.
Cassidy was our coordinator & she was absolutely amazing. She was always quick to respond, always spoke with confidence. She made sure we had everything we needed, we wouldn’t of been able to move them successfully without her. She is just all around a really great person.
We were so nervous about the travel, our cats are our world. Our grey cat Cassie has also always struggled with anxiety & Kiki is a very hyperactive cat & we didn’t know how they were going to react or respond but Cassidy & Paul gave us a lot of reassurance which put us at ease.
We were able to track them & got updates by the drivers, who were also really kind & always reassured us that they were happy & healthy! Cassie & Kiki adjusted very quickly upon arrival. We don’t know if that would have happened if we would have went with any other company.
