Nitro Pet Express - Pet Transport - Nationwide
We happily transport dogs and cats all across the lower 48 contiguous states. New puppies, family moves, or pet rescues. We do it all!
Nitro Pet Express is a pet transport business founded in Portland, Oregon. After owner, Cody McCarter, was laid off from his job as a welder, he decided he wanted to start a business that felt fulfilling to him. Cody had been working part-time transporting animals for several years prior and had always felt a sense of joy when getting to provide safe transport for all of his customers. So in the spring of 2015, Cody began Nitro Pet Express, transporting dogs and cats full-time all over the country. Cody has expanded Nitro Pet Express into a full-time business, transporting hundreds of animals to families all across the US while providing attentive care along the way. Nitro Pet Express is founded on a love of animals, a desire to provide safe and fast transport for all dogs & cats, and Cody's belief in quality customer service for everyone.

- Brooke WPet Pro's Response:
Brooke was very nice and really easy to work with. Thanks again, Brooke, for having us transport your puppy to you!
- Cody McCarterLove how professional Cody was! 100% recommend. Service 10/10
- Hernan GCody was exceptional in the care for Simba. Constantly updated me on the progress and status of Simba. I’d recommend his service to anyone who needs an affordable first class treatment for their furry family.
- Simeon ENitro Pet Express was very efficient and reliable when transporting my puppy Prince all the way from Virginia to my home in Oregon. I was struggling to find a pet transport company that was both affordable and legitimate, Nitro Pet Express was truly a God send and sent daily photo and video updates throughout the transport, ensuring of Prince's safety and security. They even helped me bring his belongings up to my apartment after the transport concluded. I would 10/10 recommend this service for anyone looking to transport their pet, especially cross country.
- Michael FCody was proactive in his communications and provided regarding timely updates. My floof ball arrived safely and happy! Thanks for your help in bringing my baby to her new home.
- Christopher DCody was awesome! He took my pup from Florida all the way to Montana. He was very responsive and always kept me updated on their location. It was a super smooth trip and Cody took great care of my dog! You can tell he really loves animals and really cares about making sure the pups are happy on the journey. I highly recommend booking with Cody!
- Laurel GCody was terrific. Very clear and effective communicator. Picked up and delivered on time. Kept Hank safe and fed. Will use him again.
- Ted WCody was great, he drove our cats in our car across the country. He answered all my questions in getting a quote and preparing for the trip. The cats were safe and as happy as I can expect them to be during a hard experience. It was a huge stress relief for us in planning our move.
- JoshJennifer PMy dog was abused
- Hanh FPet Pro's Response:
Hi Hanh, I am very sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with our service. We did not abuse your dog, though. As we do with every pet we transport, we took very good care of Flash while we were transporting him. I know you said that he immediately went potty in your home as soon as we dropped him off and for that I am sincerely sorry. Sometimes pets are just so excited and happy to see their owners that that does happen every once in awhile. I know you were very unhappy about that, though, and that is the reason I immediately refunded you $200 from the agreed upon price. I thought you were happy with our services after the partial refund. If you weren’t completely satisfied, I wish you would have let me know. If there’s anything else I can do for you, please reach out to me directly. We are always happy to help however we can. Thank you :)
