Climate-controlled dog and cat transport from Cleveland, Akron, Parma and Mentor, with direct runs west to Chicago and south to the Carolinas.
Private ground transport starts at $450 for short local runs (a $150 dispatch fee plus a $300 flat rate inside 100 miles). Longer trips are priced per mile — $1.50 a mile from 101–300 miles, $1.30 from 301–700, and $1.10 beyond 700 — plus a crate handling charge based on your pet's size, an overnight allowance on multi-day routes, and a per-pet charge after the first pet. The ranges below come from the same calculator used on our quote page.

Ranges are planning estimates for one healthy pet with a standard crate. Additional pets, overnight routes, rush dates and hard-to-reach addresses change the figure. Military families receive a $300 PCS discount. Your exact price comes back after we review the route and pet details.
NASA Glenn and Youngstown ARS families book this lane most often around summer PCS season.
