Very smooth, good communication, good timing.

Home Stretch offers a wonderful service for transporting Animals. Joe, who delivered DINGLE, was really nice! Very courteous & treated the Dingle as if it was his dog! Excellent guy & awesome service!

- Brenda B

Quick and reliable done many trips for me

- Victor C

Joseph transported a Sphynx kitten from Maine to NW FL for me. Kitten was well taken care of and Joseph kept me updated regularly. Great service.

- Alena M

Straight forward and reliable I’ve used them to move 3 dogs in one year!

- Martin G

Joseph transported two cats recently to Massachusetts for me. He is so nice and sends updates regularly during the trip. He uses the Life360 app and sends texts with photos. Not many people will drive through Florida to transport during a big storm but Joseph did. He took his time to get them to their adopter safely. He made a lot of stops to make sure they had a fresh pad to sleep on and fresh food and water.

Joseph our driver brought our Devon Rex Seal Point Siamese Nico to our door from the Ukraine just before the war

Nico was well cared for and is very loved by our family

Joseph text us regular updates about Nico’s travels

- Kumari M

Highly recommend Home stretch! We had our puppies delivered to us from Texas back in 2020 at the height of COVID. During the entire time when they were in transit the communication was flawless.

Joseph gave us status updates on any delays and how our puppies were doing during the long trip. When they finally arrived in the middle of the night the vehicle was very clean and our dogs appeared to be in great hands. Again definitely recommend this service to anyone that is in need to transport their animals! Joesph was exceptional

Joseph with Home stretch did a great job transporting or little Alaskan Klee Kai. He was very professional and communicated well. I was quite nervous because I’d been scammed before. He did great. I am very pleased
