We used Starwood Pet Travel to relocate our pets from Las Vegas to London. The team was super knowledgable and helpful with the process, from vet visits, pet carries and all the paperwork! Even last minute, the airline cancelled my pet's flight. They reassured that everything was going to be fine, and they were rebooked within the hour. I also received updates and images along the process. They were fantastic and worth the price!

When we decided to relocate from the U.S. to Spain, we quickly realized how confusing and risky international pet transport information can be—especially when you’re responsible for three beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We couldn’t afford mistakes, so after extensive research we chose Starwood Pet Transport, and it was the best decision we made.From day one, their team was exceptional. They clearly explained the process, costs, and requirements, then guided us step by step once we signed on. They coordinated directly with our veterinarians, ensured critical documents were updated correctly, handled crate purchases, and managed true door-to-door pickup and delivery. What truly set them apart was communication. We received constant updates—texts, emails, and photos—which made an emotionally difficult separation far more bearable. Knowing where our dogs were and that they were safe meant everything. Our boys arrived quickly and in perfect condition. We are profoundly grateful to the Starwood team. If you’re relocating a pet internationally, there is no better service.

I just moved to Australia from the US to study for the next two years and I simply couldn't leave my cat behind as she's 11 and I've had her since the day she was born. Starwood was an absolute life saver! I worked with Molly and she expertly guided us through the process of moving my cat and she truly made it a very low stress experience, which was incredible considering the stresses of everything else about moving across the globe. Molly walked my partner and I through every single step of the process with very clear direction, which is exactly what I wanted as a customer. She was very dedicated and on top of everything, as was the Starwood vet team! The transparency of the initial quote and reviews from others is what led me to choose Starwood. The exceptional guidance of Molly and the Starwood vet team working with my cat's vet is what gave me the reassurance they were the right choice. My cat has recovered well from traveling and is adjusting to the new environment and that makes me the happiest. Thank you Starwood for being an amazing company, and thank you Molly for expertly helping me move the most important being in the world to me. I will 100% return to Starwood for any future pet travel and I would happily request Molly to be my travel agent.

I recently had my dog Ranger shipped from New York to Australia. I chose Starwood Pet travel based on the reviews of others. I am so happy I did. They made the process so much easier and made me feel reassured through the whole process answering and questions or concerns I may have had. Special thanks to Molly from Starwood who coordinated the whole process. Ranger is now safely in Australia living his best life.

I moved from New York to Australia. I wanted to bring my two darling cats with me, and looking online showed me that Starwood was a very popular and reliable choice. I was extremely worried because Australia has some of the strictest biodiversity laws in the world, and my cats would need to be in quarantine in Melbourne for 10 days even if they had the proper veterinary documentation.With that being said, Starwood did a lot of the heavy lifting, and my coordinator Molly helped immensely with the process, explaining what needed to be done, and helping with the paperwork.

Thank you to Ryan at Starwood Pet Travel for coordinating our cat's relocation from Houston, TX to Abu Dhabi. We encountered some complications in the pre-travel planning stages which were outwith Starwood's control, however Ryan's knowledge and support was second to none. Once our pets were in transit I appreciated the frequent email updates informing me on the exact whereabouts of my pets which I found very reassuring. I would recommend Starwood to anyone looking for a reliable pet relocation company with a trustworthy global network of agents.

The adventure was a long one. It started way before the flight working with Sarah Whittington getting Vet appointments, travel crates and info about all three. Then on 2 November They were picked up for the ride down to Red Dog Spa Retreat, we would not see them for over a week. Sarah set up the ride, the boarding and the USDA Vet appointment. We were going through a lot, selling our business, house and car all before our trip 9 November so time was short. We went with Starwood all-inclusive package because we just could not handle one more thing and our pets are our world and we wanted them to have the best trip to France. They did have one hiccup; the day they were to fly out 11 November it was to cold and windy for them to travel so Sarah had brought them back to Red Dog for one more night. She then had to reschedule not only their ride to the airport, their flight and their trip to their new home in France. Sarah took care of everything, and they were on their way the next day and were in our arms the next day. So big thanks to Sarah and Starwood.

Our move to Spain was made easier by our friends at Starwood Pet Travel. They made the transit of our 2 french bulldogs work without a hitch. There were so many things that had to happen, they made it easy.We were able to be in contact ahead of the travel and had all of questions answered, either with just a quick call, or by scheduling a meeting. Even when our pups travel changed due to a change in the airline schedule, all went well. Cassidy kept me informed of their progress during their travel. And, beforehand, was available to help ensure that all would go according to plan. Starwood was easy to work with, explaining the process, travel immigration rules of the airlines country.Our pets were skittish on the night of arrival. That day, they had flow from Frankfurt to Madrid, gone through immigration, and then a 3 1/2 hour van ride to be brought to us. Within an hour, they were back to their old selves and have been so ever since.cWe are glad for the help of Starwood, and Cassidy in particular.I cannot do anything but recommend them. Remember, you are choosing to move, your pets are not.

We are a navy family and had to ship our senior dog, Lilly, to Naples, Italy. I was very nervous because she is an anxious pup to begin with, plus her age, and she had never flown before. Not to mention the health requirements and customs paperwork are rather cumbersome! I was happy to find Starwood, working with them to have Lilly shipped from DC to Rome (via Frankfurt) and they were even able to arrange having her driven from Rome to Naples. Our main point of contact was Sarah, and she was fantastic! She answered all of my questions along the way, kept up with our own flight itinerary changing at the last minute, and was quick to send me pics of Lilly during her layover in Frankfurt. :) My only minor complaint is that the CareTags feature didn't seem to be worth much. I thought it would be a more helpful "live" type of GPS tracking, but it only got updated once over the whole 48 hours she was traveling. I got more information about Lilly's whereabouts from the Lufthansa cargo tracking page. Shipping a beloved pet is going to be stressful no matter what, but Starwood helped make the experience as seamless as it could be.

WELL worth the cost to have the peace of mind that professionals are taking care of everything! With everything else I had to worry about with our international move, it was great to know that the pet move was well in hand and being managed. My nerves wouldn't have been able to handle worrying about everything on my own!My crew was well taken care of, and communication throughout the process was perfect. Would highly recommend using Starwood Pet Travel!
