Hello!
We are Christa Vealey and Vicki Keene, dog moms and professional pet transporters based in Jacksonville, NC.
Christa is our sole driver and has a lifetime of animal care experience, including over 10 years of horse rescue work. From dogs and horses to poultry and fish, animals have always been a major part of her life. We currently share our home with two Beagles, and Christa has been involved with hounds for most of her life.
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 2–3 pets per household and no more than two households per route. 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 two-hour stop, fresh water is available at all times, and feeding schedules are maintained as needed.
We limit driving shifts to 12 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 route tracking, group chats, regular updates, and photos. Vicki manages all communication during transport, and our phones are always available 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 pickup.
* 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!
